i was speaking to someone i know who has had a few previous grows... he told me that if i was to use a fan to blow on the plants the stems would get thicker(which is good)... but while it thickens the stems it would put more energy into making ticker stems, so if its not growing thicker stems it would put that wee bit of energy innto making more buds... :) its a small difference but every little helps.. and ive also gotten my temperatures down to25-27degrees...perfect for me and the plant

as for adding co2---i was goint to try this at the start but i think there would be too much airflow to be much use to the plant, i would need a tank of co2 constantly running...i will get more pics of the buds and THC very soon....

i dont wanna distrub my plants so, ill be taking new pics in the morning... i have a few questions to ask...

would this ballast work with metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs.....>>>>>http://www.screwfix.com/prods/64251/Lighting-Lamps/Commercial-Industrial/Retail-Display-Lighting/Robus-HID-Gear-Box-150W#
i was looking at the spec sheet and it says it supports 150w metal halide, CDM and SON lamps.---i mainly want it for HPS

and if that one doesnt do HPS would this one...>>>>>http://www.screwfix.com/prods/88715/Lighting-Lamps/Electronic-Transformers/Electronic-Control-Gear/Osram-Quicktronic-MultiWatt-HID-1-x-150W

if one of the ballasts support HPS could someone suggest one of these bulbs...
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/38749/Lighting-Lamps/Lamps/HID-Lamps/Sylvania-SHP-T-HID-Sodium-SON-150w-Lamp---this lamp has 17000k lumens so i would pick this, but i need advice
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/64170/Lighting-Lamps/Lamps/HID-Lamps/Sylvania-HPS-Elliptical-150W-HID-Sodium-SON
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/64289/Lighting-Lamps/Lamps/HID-Lamps/Sylvania-HPS-Super-Tubular-150W-HID-Sodium-SON

after i finnish my current grow im going to swap to a 150 HPS, but ill need to pick one first... and if i cant get a 150w easily enough, i would probably settle for 2x70w HPS.

if none of these ballasts work, could anyone suggest somewhere that could deliver to the UK... thanks
i really need to know as soon as possible so i can be prepared and ready...
thanks again

can anyone tell me where to get the cheapest 150w hps light, i dont mind if its just a kit or a security light....but it will need to be available in the UK...if i cant get a 150w hps easily enough i was thinking of using...
2 x 70w HPS lights as these are readily available. i think these would give me the best light coverage but 70w hps lights produce 5600lumens, where as a 150w HPS produces 15000...i really want the 150...please help me...please
