woke up this morning.. everything seems to be okay. didnt get time to check ph or anything but i get a break around 11 and 1 so i will go by and check on one of those trips.

put cardboard over the net cups but still looks like light is getting in res. could it just be since the light is lighting up everything around the set up it is looking like the light is getting in?? any other suggestions??

You should keep it about 12-18 inches away. Put your hand at the top of the plants and if it feels too warm on your hand then it probably will be for the plants too.

aight thanks. i have la diva which is an autoflower and lavender beans also and i think i might run one of those in soil or just in a 5gal bucket sog under the 150w. what would yeild the most and which strain should i use to get most production??

checked on other ladies lookin good just not getting tall starting to get alot of leaves but stay low to the top of the system. maybe the new light will change that.

also thinking about getting a grow tent. good or bad idea??

Grow tents are great IMO. Check out my grow (link in my sig) and you can see it is working for me. Also, it is good that your plants are short and bushy. That's exactly what you want and it means they are getting adequate light. If you want to have a second grow going, I would definitely recommend hydro. In fact, you could use the 150 watt for the flowering stage and the 400 watt in a grow tent for flowering. This way you could have a perpetual harvest going, and get fresh buds about every 2 weeks. Just an option.

that is a very good idea.. i would love to do that just dont know when i would sprout up others to get ready to throw in tent after harvest of ones already in tent.

lol.. i want a tent for light reasons but i also need to find a way to light proof the res.. since its a blue and the light shines around it 18 hours of the day the res seems to be lit up so i need to find something to wrap around that.
