I see what you mean about the reflector, seems like an odd shape. Why not get one of the cheap "euro reflectors" for about £25 from an online or local hydro store? I've used them in the past and they do the job! Are you using a HPS only or an interchangable ballast? Switch onto a MH for veg if you are, the plants will love you for it and you'll be able to maximise your grow space as the plants will stay nice and bushy! Maxibrite 400w ballast plus euro reflector is all u need, most hydro shops will do the lot with a lamp for around £75. All you need to do then is buy urself a HPS lamp once the veg cycle is over. Good luck with the grow anyways, got urself a really nice selection of strains, i'll be watchin!

thanks for the input, im going to stick with the HPS seeing as im going to veg only for about 30 days, not worth the expence. but looking at the price of those euro reflectors i think im going to buy one of those! thanks alot.

Nice one mammal. I meant to pop in here ages ago but then I "disappeared" (again - LOL). Those babes are looking really healthy mate ;) Keep up the good work. Hope it works out well for you this time around. I'm sure all your hard work and attention will pay off.

Thanks mammal, and thanks for the rep mate, much appreciated. Unless there are any major disasters I hope to be harvesting the Purples soon. The Cinammons are another matter, but we'll see how they go over the next four or five weeks. Thanks again. I'll check back soon to see how your going.

I'm in Northern Ireland mammal. The weather's been crap all summer. I was really lucky early on though, the Cinammons had about three weeks of solid sunshine when I put them outside, hence their bushiness I reckon. The Purps got pissed on from day one LOL. They must be hardy as anything, and they're fast too. But we'll see how they smoke, whether they're the real deal ........

thanks alot HoC! youre right, the S. haze and skunk #1 seedlings are doing the best, with the blue cheese still looking a bit weak really, im hoping that once its roots are nicely set in place it'll start growing a bit stronger. The white widow continues to surprise me, its growing really well despite only starting with one leaf.
