Cuz you stopped posting hahahaha Blow a fan over that bulb i put mine on the ground and blow up should reduce the heat coming off that bulb i can almost touch my 150hps with a 120mm 110cfm fan blowing over the blub also helps with cfls. Your going to notice a big difference going from flowering with cfl to hps man your going to love it
How often are you changing the res and what kinda water are you using please state the PH of said water going into the res and what nutrients you are using. I run tap water with a 6.0 ph and super natural for my nutrients. I change my res like 1 time a week clean and make the res clean pour new water and nute solution and im good to grow never have a single problem besides some root rot and thats a easy fix with water and hydrogen peroxide.

its a badass light no doubt!! i got a wing reflector, i wanted the cool tube but I was on a budget and figure i could upgrade later ...water curing is on its 7th day today, so i guess ill just let em dry out now infront a fan,....had to cure a new set up buds(against my will) since norma had another tragedy...i droppped my dehumidifier on her from about 3 ft and broke a shit of colas but its almost done tho thank goodness, haha, see how I treat my ladies? droppin shit on em, almost killen her, the cat almost killin her, she probably wants out of this relationship hahahahha
How big is your closet mike?
Post up some pics of the buds in the water and when dry it will be helpful to otherslol! i thought he same thing since pg 56 was pure mike8427...lol anyhoo, yea Man i got a fan blowin on her the best I can, my coffee cans are in the way of getting it closer, but I can always rearrange! those HPS and MH bulbs are HUGE like wtf who does that? lmao! bro i was just thinking that, I cant wait to see the diff...since norma is a huge as plant and taking up most the light, my 2 coffee cans are getting just a TAD of that HPS light, so Ill see how those flowers turn out compared to the side thats touching CFL,...I still got the CFLs in there...norma takes the HPS light, when shes done ill scoot the other 2 under it
Glad you stepped up your lights to HPS man your going to love how much fatter they grow and it will reduce your flowering time as cfls take longer to finish out. So your ballast runs both mh and hps thats a good thing glad you choose one that accepts both and like you said you can always upgrade the hood to a cooltube or even hang it without a hood and try a vertical grow at some point. The main thing to buying new lights etc is being able to upgrade them down the road i wont buy anything unless i can upgrade it in some way Sry to hear bout norma if you dont already use zip ties you should you will find they are a growers best friend. Also if you did not get light yoyos i would suggest you get a set although with some of the smaller hoods and wattage bulbs you will need to place a weight on top to keep the side without the socket from raising on one side i use a 2lb dumbbell on mine works like a charm. Get some pics up man i want to see the progress and whats left of norma!its a good size closet length wise..maybe 10-12 ft? depth is maybe 2.5/3ft, height is maybe 13-14 ft..lol but there is a shelf so I say about 6ft....
the light setup came with 2 yoyos, one seems to go up n down freely regardless of how tight the butterfly nut is...so i dunno wtf? im still using them since they are easy to raise and lower the light, i just paper clip the string works fine..i def will not put a weight on top lol, thats how i dropped the dehumidifier on norma, i bumped the light and there she goooessss lol....my pics are shitty, the light spectrum sure changed the camera lens, ill do my best, im dissapointed at the end results of the WC dry...it looks like shit, but I dont htink i did it right, maybe I dried it too fast, but still got me high, not the high I want, its the same high i had on last wks test nug, so im thinking this strain is gay...lol in another words i dont like it...im hoping my other 2 plants come on better, those I will try the air dry method to retain its flavours, also I dont know wtf im doing when it comes to drying and cutting, so ill still need to read that phase but ya never know lol on to the pics:Post up some pics of the buds in the water and when dry it will be helpful to others
norma still:
its my day off so i have some time haha! the top of the ballast seems sturdy but the eye loops n yoys seem to make it wobble a lot, i have those bean bag velcro weights that go on the ankles lol and some ol lady weights, I put the dehumidifier there as a weight, it worked out til i bumped it. She is still spitting out new hairs, its weird, I dont know..when I smoked that bowl earlier, it was str8 up sativa, i was up n ready ....its how it was when i bought a gram off a friend...the tops are full i had to bend those in, but them too are spitting new hairs, the 19th will be 2 month...yea wk 10 give or take....lol I veged her for a month because I didnt know how that played a roll til she started flowering..dude i was like reminiscing the day i started lol, ive bought so many fukin CFLS i have like 30+ 6500ks n 2700ks, like 12 bulb splitters, 3 ballasts, its been a ride!!! lol and i just finally bought new food, i ran out ! im sticking to flora series, not ready to jump ship to floranova lol in time..in timeeee
From the sounds of it i would wait another week or two until you stop seeing new pistil growth then chop her and be done with those beans and get yourself diffrent ones maybe a 8 week indica or something along those lines now that you have starting from seed down.
