Hey whats up guys. been growing this thing for awhile just using cfl's. Its been in flower since 4/20. I just ordered a 150w hps last night and expect it in the next week. what effect do you think it will have since it started with cfl's and there isnt much time left . Im hoping for a boost of growth and density but i dont know. Let me know what you guys think ill keep pictures updated

the hps will give it a nice growth boost, but since you've already got the cfl's in place you should keep using them too. the more light the more yield.

ok got the 150w hps today wired it up and tested it out. I have it set about 12 inches from my plants. The lights are off now and I have to go to work I hope the place doesnt burn down when they come on... I left 3 of the 6 cfl's on for now I plan on putting another one on when I can see. PICTURES LATER

Yeah I would say too much heat, I think a foot and a half to two feet, especially since you are just adding it to them. Move it far away then work it in maybe, they don't look that f-ed up, imagine if you got home to extra tasty crispy!

it is most definitely heat. i would say 2-3 feet because those look pretty rough compared to the other pictures.

yeah I had the door closed on them i wont be doing that again I would bet it got around 90+ in there but after moving the light up from 12 inches to 18 and moving my fan upwards the temp at the tops its 82.5 and holding and about 79 around the edges of the plant . There isnt much else I can do other than that you's think it will be ok........On another note the buds remained unharmed no dried pistils nothing and they are looking nice and fat after the molasses and nutes I gave it.
