I'm due east in Knoxville

I have a bachelors' & masters from UT so it's a no brainier for Pepper to wear a little orange! She is my service dog. She has been to a couple of games. She really got into barking at Smokey!

Well I'm out of the hospital. Been there for nine months, this time. Now It's time to get your girls planted outside. I'm located in TN. So adjust your plantings accordingly. Remembering the girls don't like it below sixty degrees. Below fifty degrees and you can pretty much kiss them good bye...

Were I am from, the electric company and police have started to monitor the amount of wattage used over a number of hours. HPS lights use a lot of watts. I switched over to t5 lighting. I liked HPS lighting much better but the t5 do work, & sure beats jail. Grampa 1949

OK, it's not a bug, but don't know what it is. I an old man 66, we called them Turtle's. If you look at them on there back, they look like a miniature turtle shell.

I have the same set up, I keep my T-5's about 4" to 6" above the tallest plant. Good luck but keep the lights down!!

My puppy loves pot, she just bites the leaves. Just like what I see on your plant. Was she there? Little humor here. Cause being your first outside plant your going to need some humor! Don't worry you'll do fine.

How old is she? I've put plants into flower(HPS) as early as 2 weeks. But I started from seed. Meaning my root system is started and deeper. Before you put your clone under hps you want to make sure her roots are started into the soil good. Or you could put the hps in but have it really high up...
