I Wonder what the Lumen and Kelvin readings on that monster are?

This is what i can find about lumens - -"12000 lumen output directly above plants."

Which was taken from this blurb-

"2700K red for flowering stage.
Envirolites are becoming a more and more popular alternative to HID lighting. They are effective, energy saving, reliable and come in blue and red spectrum giving excellent results and lower operating costs for all indoor growers.
Plants need light between 400 & 700 nana wave and Envirolites produce high output, 100% PAR light in this exact spectrum!
-Envirolites give 100% PAR (photosynthetic ally Active Radiation) High output lights are used successfully for all stages of plant growth.
-Envirolites do not generate excessive heat and can be used directly above the plants (3-4cm).
-Self ballasted lamps are simple to install.
-Uses a standard E40 socket.
-Lower running costs than HID lighting.
-12000 lumen output directly above plants.
*All Envirolites Compact Fluorescent Lamp’s are self ballasted lamps. This means that you don't need anything special to make them work. All you need to do is screw them in to a CFL lead and plug them in to the wall. We recommend these CFL leads for growers who wish to add extra light to their grow room by hanging CFL’s vertically in-between the plants. If you are using CFL’s over your plants then it is best to use them in a reflector. "

12000 is a lot (its over the 10000 specified in the grow faq)
Not like a 55000 HPS, but a lot none the less for a bunch less operating costs.
And should solve your heat problem!
You gonna use them to flower?
I am interested in how they do.

Yeah going to use them to flower. Well im thinking of purchasing the one (For financial reasons, particularly the fact i bought a HPS which im not even going to use anymore...) So obviously i'll be using a reflector, and have some side lighting with smaller regular CFLs hanging down.

Well this is what my aims to do, what my outcome is may be completely different. . .

Day 35:

First proper update in a while as a hell of alot has happened lol. You most likely know all the stress i've had and the plants have had due to nute burn/ temp due to my light. This didnt seem to be getting any better so i am swapping my lamp to a Envirolite 200W Red spectrum designed for flowering. Until i order this they may have to go back in with the HPS.

My grow is a stealth grow, but the reason for which is stealth has subsided for a couple of days so i took them straight out of the grow room and put them in with the rest of my plants under the same Fluro's they were under up until the HPS. Its been a whole day now since they were under the HPS and they do look better already.

All the yellowish brown parts of the leaves which were completely crisp before are starting to become more leaf like now. I thought those parts were dead. The color hasnt improved vastly but feeling the leaves alone is enough to tell me these girls will be ok in the long run. Obviously its been set back a couple of weeks. Especially as i may not be able to order my Envirolite for another week or so (They'l have to go back under HPS on Sat... ).

Apart from that, here are the photos, obviously they're not doing as well as they could do but its the best theyve looked for a couple of days...

Right this where they are at the moment.. bit of a joke really...


Jane... Has seen better days but compare them both to previous pictures and they are improving i swear lol

Mary new growth still doing well lots of new branches being formed.


Right is this a stupid question but are those two growths in the center new stems or early pistils :S


Thanks for stopping by, hopefully in a week this whole grow will be back on full speed!

Theyre just new growth

Looking good apart from the burning, I'm sure they'll recover tho x

Dang, I said they are weeds and you can't kill em even if you try, lol.
Listen I just hope that with all these have been through it makes them so strong
that when time comes for you to fool them into thinking they are dying
that they fight back just as hard, making some of the stickiest, dankest buds ever!

i agree with alto, once you're past the seedling state, it's pretty hard to kill them. Your heatstress is going away and the new development is very nice. Though the heatburn probably won't go away, the rest of your plant is going to look beautiful! I'll be in touch bro!!
