I topped the third plant today but I'm gonna leave the lower foliage for now to maybe help boost her to catch up a bit.

Did a complete res change out yesterday.
Got this little transfer pump in the mail yesterday from amazon, really made the chore easy!
It takes 2 "D" batteries and works pretty good.
Re-filled with 10 gallons of water and mixed the nutes full strength for 7 gallons.

Well, I took out the Phillips CDM lamp this morning and put the Metal Halide lamp and ballast back on line. (one plug and 2 wire nuts)
These plants are staying too compact.
They need to veg out a little.
Let's see how long it takes to see a difference.

Started to try to bind them down, but it is difficult because the branches are staying so short.
I will leave the weights on for this week & see how everything responds to the MH.
The 3rd plant is just too short to start bending yet.20150221_083212_resized.jpg20150221_083225_resized.jpg

I made the little cover for the pots and put a flap on each slot.
Helps keep the light out of the tray thru the net pots.
I have some real small sized growstone that I need to rinse and pile it in the tops of the pots to fill in the open spots better.
I will probably need to tie the plants directly to the net pots so I won't be able to use that cover much longer.
That way, I can still pull the plant and pot out of the hole if needed, at least till the plants reach a certain size.

Shoot... I don't know how much power???
I know this run should be a little less than the first run.
The new light is 315 watt and the ballast runs on 240 volts.
I am running the pump and a large air pump full time, so maybe it equals out.?
I just blame the higher lite bill on the hot tub ! ;-)

Had some heat issues the past couple days, so I HAD to get the Koolatron wired up yesterday.
It is starting to cool now and I just checked it and the soup is 70* and possibly dropping.
