Haha thanks man, i started from a 250w cfl which wasn't that expensive ($150 for the reflector plus a set of 2700/6500 bulbs), so you can do it to.
Then i got a job and the money i make can go into my plants cus their investments, once they are done ill flip 4 ounces and ill have more money than i started with.

:O

I'm loving the new set up man haha that sure is a huge step up from 330 watts to 734! They are going to love you for it.

I just wish I hadn't used the TB that early, cause a small amount really messed with it, but its nearing harvest, just a couple more weeks.

Yo dude follow the chart on the HPS. Do the hand test, keep your hand at plant level when the light is on and if your hand gets uncomfortable after 30 seconds its too close. Do this till you find out how far for sure.

And you need to get that pH issue worked out, I didn't really use a meter till about 25 days into flowering, and they were okay until that point. But then they just went to shit and a whole lot of leaves started turning colors like yours.

Trust me dude, pH is vital. Your plants will love you for it.

PH is probably the most important thing I would think. It naturally rises when vegetating, and naturally decreases when flowering. I know this cause I have a continuous Trimeter in my hydro setup. Higher PH is better for flowering.

To each his own. i have been on both sides of the fence, and i see no big difference whether i check ph or not. But then again i am in soil, you are in hydro, no comparison. hell, rainwater aint ph'd and it isn't 6.5 - 7 either. i cant say i havnt seen ph problems in soil, but that is usually when ph is just way out of whack. most shouldnt have this issue.

Your probably lucky and have your tap water at a good ph. My tap water is at 8.3-8.6. That or your using R/O water?

Yea, I can't wait for my bagseed to grow out. I am sensing that the super sour diesel is going to be a male, Not sure bout the ATF, cause it hasn't popped ground yet. That white widow you had would have loved the hps for sure.
