My plants + NEW 400w HPS! (pics)

[donnieosmond]

Well..... I finally took the plunge at bought a 400w HPS for $75.00. Great deal. Installed it tonight. I'm testing the waters to see how how my grow room gets. Here are some pics.... 2 Dutch Dragons and 2 Hawaii x Maui Waui. Can't wait to see their sex! They are still vegging for now. Days 39 and 32 (DD's were rootbound and growth stunted by 2 or 3 weeks). I'm going to veg for about 7 more days and then all 4 of them are going into flower. Can't wait.

Haha thanks.... I just moved the fan onto the wall to evenly blow on the canopy. I took out 2 more 3 gallon buckets and used them to prop the little plants up closer to the light. I'll probably transplant them within the next few days to their final resting spots.

i am using a 400 mh clear white light bulb is that ok? or does it have to be specific for growing weed the light bulbcosted me 30.00 so i dont know if that is tooo cheap new at this some help please

 

[donnieosmond]

I mean if it's a MH bulb/ballast that's great for the vegetative stage but when you start to flower you might want to switch to HPS. But lots of people grow with no problems in both cycles with just the MH bulb.

i think you should be using HPS bulbs in an HPS ballast unless your MH is a conversion bulb.

[donnieosmond]

Yes MH bulbs are perfect for vegging plants.

 

[lildre]

its a clear white bulb is that ok?

 

[donnieosmond]

I don't know... do you have a ballast to hook it to or only a bulb?
