Lol every time I think of Hunter S. Thompson, I think of one of my friends. He went through this phase of dressing like Thompson (Circa fear and loathing) lol.
So how was everyone's 420

The 250W system I ordered from HTG had a defective bulb so I am looking to replace with an Agrosun MH bulb that adds some red spectrum, anyone have experience with this bulb? It'a a bit pricey but the Hydro shop clerk said it was top of the line. Here are my Northern Lights and 1 White Dwarf seedling currently supplemented with CFL's while I wait for new bulb

Looking Good,I have used a Agrosun MH conversion before.It worked really well.The 250W system I ordered from HTG had a defective bulb so I am looking to replace with an Agrosun MH bulb that adds some red spectrum, anyone have experience with this bulb?

Are you going to use the MH for flowering too!!!

Yes I will, a friend of mine had a similar setup and he got great yield with MH all the way though. If I get crappy results this time around I will definitely pick up a conversion bulb for my next grow. Definitely an experimental grow for me.

I think you will get better results using a HPS during flowering.But you can use the MH all the way.Keep us posted.
high all,
Im begininng my first grow with a floralux system. I have WAY too many little seedlings, I didn't think so many would take off after sitting around for over a year, currently there is like 15 solo cups in a 2'x2.5' area (not exact) under my light (MH veg HPS flower)....is this too much under the light for now? I can trash some I guess if I have to but I want to wait as long as I can and pick the strongest ones.
Also, how can I know when it is time to transplant out of the solo cups? are 2 gallon pots large enough for my grow or will I need bigger?

Yeah I've read that HPS can be better but since I have a MH ballast I found this Agrosun gold bulb to be intriguing because it [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]has 49% more red spectrum than ordinary halide bulbs. It will definitely be interesting to see how it performs. [/FONT]

Welcome to the club JackHerer
You should be fine with that light,you are going to be a little cramped with that many seedlings.But keep as many as you can and select the strongest ones.You should transplant your seedlings after about 2 weeks in the solos.And 2 gallon will suffice,But 3 gallom will be better.Keep us informed and ask as many questions as needed.You will get pointed in the right direction.

Sp4ce back again. I switched to 12/12 two days ago and I see pistils above the 5th node so i know that they are fem. Can anyone tell me what these yellow spots are on my leaves. It doesnt effect the whole plant but where they appeared created holes on my leaves.

It was very chill and relaxing, even with all the running around lol. Smoked on some White widow and Master kush.
If you contact HTG I'm sure they would be willing to replace it. If not you'll be fine, you're plants are looking good.The 250W system I ordered from HTG had a defective bulb so I am looking to replace with an Agrosun MH bulb that adds some red spectrum, anyone have experience with this bulb? It'a a bit pricey but the Hydro shop clerk said it was top of the line. Here are my Northern Lights and 1 White Dwarf seedling currently supplemented with CFL's while I wait for new bulb
I totally agree with Mind on this one, HPS for nice dense buds, instead of fluffy stringy buds with the MH.I think you will get better results using a HPS during flowering.But you can use the MH all the way.Keep us posted.
Even if you got 49% more red spectrum, you'd still be somewhere in between a HPS and a halogen. A halogen is around the yellow orange-ish area of the spectrum so you'd get more of a yellow orange rather than a red and orange. You might get some red but probably not much. However with that stated I think you'll get more productivity with that MH, rather than a regular one. A HPS even better, but I'd probably throw some bloom spectrum CFL's as supplemental so you get more of that red spectrum (For more desnity in your buds) and watch your heat.
Good luck I'm interested to see the outcome
.Welcome JackHerer
.Way too many for a first grow and that space. If there is nothing else but plants in that area of space, you'll be able to grow out 2-4 fully grown plants. I'd take a couple strong and a couple kind of strong and trash the rest. If you don't know if these are feminized you don't want to risk the healthier plant being male. In my experience males tend to show more strength, rather than females.
Also if you're 2 weeks + into your grow, definitely time to transplant into a 1 or 2 gallon, then 3 gallon for bloom depending how tall you want your plants. If you want them bigger, the rule is for every foot of height add a gallon, so a 1 foot plant/1 gallon, 2 foot/2 gallon etc.
Hope this helps some, if you have any questions ask away
.My best guess would be either heat stress, nute burn or infestation. If it is occurring more to the top of the plant heat stress is more than likely the culprit. If it's all over the plant in random spots then we're looking at infestation or nutrient burn. Maybe a Mag deficiancy, but if it's not happening around the whole plant doubtful.
So basically eliminate the heat (Raise your light an inch or two and keep your heat between 68F-78F), cut all damaged leaves off, cut back on the nutes a little and put some sticky traps down (Yellow and blue) and wait it out.
If it continues it's probably an infestation of some sort, which both blue and yellow sticky traps will help to verify.
If it stops then we know it was either heat, nutrient burn or deficiancy. Pump up the nutrients slowly and see if it happens again, if it does then it was nute burn. If you do everything and everything is still fine it was probably heat.
Hope this helps out some.
Sorry for the novel guys lol.
