dude try to get flouros

Im broke...i do have a 48in fixture..I could exchange the new 250w bulb for two 48in flouros..But would it even be enough two 48in bulbs??

No. I doubt it anyway. I would let them sit in the dark for 3-5 days and chop. They should just try to finish themselves really fast with no light. At least this will let it ripen up a little before you pull them. sorry about your ballast. Was it digital?

just get them under any grow lighting you can. its hard when your shit go,s down on your grow especially when your flowering. but i myself would get those two fluros and carry on. it cant do any harm (not like you will lose bud) something is better than nothing and if you are low on cash then you dont have much choice. hope it works out for you.

Your ballast just may need a part. They can fix them.

Get them under a grow light...there is no proof that darkness before harvest does anything.Just try to keep them on the same schedule of 12/12 and finish them out.Maybe get some cfl's for supplemental until you can get a new ballast and HID light.Are you still under warranty, by any chance?
