Specs:
10th week of flowering (bagseed)
CO2: Yeast fermentation
Lights: 1 42W CFL, 1 23W CFL, 2 150W HPS
1 Fan
Nurtients: MiracleGro

I flushed the plant (about 2 gallons of water) last week due to a nutrient burn and it seemed to get better but now it looks like it is dieing again. A lot of the leaves are turning yellow and crispy and curling up. Any ideas?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

stop giving it mg....use flowering nutes...honestly i dont know why it looks like that but i know your light set up is not for growing...those 150watt hps lights are not for growing..invest 150 bucks into a 400 watt hps at least is my best advice.

How are these 150W HPS different than a 150W HPS "grow" light? They both produce the same lumens and they both have reflectors in them....

the spectrum.......google it....why do you think they are sold the way they are? dont you think maybe if they were so effective you would see them at hydro stores or grow shops or web sites? its because the bulbs put out less lumens and the spectrum is not balanced between yellow and red like with 250, 400, 600, and 100 watt bulbs that are made to emit red and yellow spectrum.

The spectrum is correct. You are wrong. They are made the way they are so they can be easily installed as a flood light. There is no difference in spectra between these and other HPS light bulbs. Face it, you are wrong. Move along and if you can't offer any advice, don't respond.

Ha, you provide a basic spectrum guide to prove what? That there is a wavelength spectrum?
The link you provided furthers my case:
The only difference with commercial lights from Home Depot is the reflector, HPS is HPS, no difference in light spectrum. The grow shop fixtures isolate the ballast for lighter weight in the bulb reflector part of the light. The reflector in commercial lights focuses the light into a beam so that you can light up a parking lot like a flood light. Grow lights use a reflector that spreads out the light (diffuses the light) so a larger circle is formed not a tight beam. If you have common sense, you can build a reflector from sheet metal and spray the lit side with flat white heat paint for engines etc. One big difference is that you don't have to order it from a grow shop that is probably run by the police or the owners sell your info to the cops for a little extra profit
