    Default hps keeps frying my leaves

    Hey. My small 150w hps keeps frying leaves on my plant. The plant just showed it was a female the other day so this isn't acceptable to me anymore.

    I keep the plant 1' from the light and the leaves still turn yellow and crispy. I have proper ventilation.

    This only happens when I position the plant under the center of the light. If I keep it to the left or right its fine but seems less lit up compared to me centering it.

    Why?

    Do you have a fan in tthe room? Enought to make the plants wiggle.
    Have a great one. Advice is for folks with a legal grow and worth what you paid for it.

    low wattage hps are less efficient than CFLs. 150 watt is about the limit break, any lower and flourescent tubes do better for less power. down around 70 watts you would do better with a three or four 12 watt cfls and a flashlight

    the back of your hand is more sensitive to heat, use that instead.
