Just remember, the electric company doesn't care how much electricity you're using. As long as you pay your bill, they will pay you no mind.

Usually, leaves curling down indicates excess heat. But, we'll just have to wait for pics until we can make a proper diagnosis.

It wouldn't be due to excess light. They could be trying to pull away from the light if it's too close.

Also, nute burn will cause the tips to turn down when they completely dry out.

ok. ill put up a pic o monday. its just a couple of spots here on 2 leaves. i dont think it would be nute burn cause ive only added a 1/4 of an ag nute unless that can do it.how close should my lights be to the plant. and is it the same when i switch to mh bulb.

not too sure on how close, never used HPS. but i think the rule is if you put your hand over the plants, and it feel hot, its too close

alright so in the past 24 hours shit has kinda hit the fan, maybe u guys can help. The roll mylar thing fell on my plant bending the stem a little bit so now im using part of a plastic fork to stabilze that bitch. the stems looking a lot better today but still a little weak. as far as the plant goes, im starting to get more of those brown spots on the leaves. I just changed my nutes not sure if thats the problem. Any help will be great. heres some pics. crossing my fingers.

decided im gonna give it a couple more days under the ag light before i switch to the mh bulb
