They are only under a 150w hps, Temps are 75-83 in closet grow.About 10" from plant as well.

I am rather new myself but I would try to lower the humidity another 10-20%, If not make 100% sure you have really good ventilation. The less chance for bud rot/mold the better. Best of luck to you buddy

I was posting about a week & a half ago about some bad leave cupping I was having. I now have the problem under control except it left my baby N.Lights with some scars perhaps? cupping is literally 90% better the problem was very low humidity, talking 5-10% whit a 6" fan on high blowing on them...

Also how did you train her so well. From my understanding Autos are the most stubborn to Lst & super crop out of anything. I want the even canopy but I never know what to shoot for. Fem,top,Lst or supercrop. I am always arguing with myself about the matter.

I have no experience with auto's as a grower I stick to fem & reg. By the looks of her though she is a very health lady, Also with what bud sites I see so far I would say there is room for about 1-2oz of dried bud. I am by no means an expert just my personal opinion.

Hey guys just wanted to update the grow a little. The cupping problem seems to have fixed itself on the new growth once I took the fan directly off them & quit misting alltogether, Stupid of me I know. Im gonna transplant into some Foxfarm OF tomorrow for the added benefit of some of the nutes...

Nice good read there Stoney. Thanks for it. I just wish I could get to the bottom of my slow growth/cupping problem. Its my Northern Lights strain too, I have to save these babies, I HAVE TO.

Almost not the same exact one though, I have the mini Sunburt. http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Sunburst-HPS-150w-Lamp/dp/B0094J74KW

Thanks for the advice. :)

Dude im a total newbie myself, I have just done little research man. Its turning into a very interesting hobby for me.

150w hps could support 1-2 plants max i'm sure. As its only 15,00 lumens you cannot get a big enough foot print to support 3 plants without sacrificing 3/4 lumens. To your other question you CAN NOT use any bulb with any ballast, Some ballast of a higher rateing do come with dimmers to switch...

You also said up to 18" away from canopy, Are you sure with a 150w thats sounds a bit far for only 15,000 lumens.

Thanks for the reply guys, I also though the same thing Skunkd0k. You think overwatering Rob? Like I said above I was only misting the top layer of soil & leaves daily Not even enough to penetrate the first 3" of soil. I watered the first time untill I seen it run all the way through the soil 3...

What!? Its a 150w hps called Mini Sunburst.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=6913 I gave that a read & it would seem the fan would be causing the majority of the problem. The problem now being one can only look to new growth to see if the problem is fixed, Because if transpiration to the point of closing or (in my case cupping)...

Useing a bag of shultz soil I left open as well. It was left open for about a month but was still fresh & moist as far as I could tell. I plan on transplanting to FFOF this friday as well to see if it helps.

Yes I understand that now lol. I had it directly on them. Could the plant be experiencing transpiration stress from the prolonged wind on them for a constant week from sprout? I also turned off the hps & put 2 cfl's to replace for a bit for the better light spec for veg.

And by misting I was misting the leaves as well with a 6" fan on high setting blowing on the leaves directly making them shake but not break them or anything. I thought i was doing good but im not sure anymore.

1 time every 3-4 days. I was only misting & damping the top layer 2x daily but I just found out like a noob to water through completely until drainage at bottom. I did that 1st time 3 days ago & soil is still wet.

I see thanks for the reply. I keep it about 10" above canopy & I always do the hand trick but it never hot on my hand. Sometimes a little warm but never ever hot for my hand.
