Is it to late to switch to a HPS light to fatten up my buds? Any other comments or questions are welcomed.

newbie71047 · Mar 29, 2011

they are all bag seed. they had a hard start do to overwatering and lack of lights.

that looks cool,my type of cereal,oh nvm thats not a cereal bowl your using.lol jp,but more light pot size should maximize your yield.

looks great, what kind of light are you currently using? i think you could probably switch it no problem.

i am running some cfls if you check my sig it links to my albums that shows my grow box and some of the progress up to now.

i think as long as you have proper ventilation/cooling system, they would prosper. a lot of the light from thoses cfls is traveling straight up, subtracting from your lumens. a good hps with reflector will make plants very happy, as long as you have the space.

i have a 400 watt coming in tomorrow i just wasn't sure if it was to late to utilize it on this grow. I have some height issues but i lst'ed them pretty good so i think i will be fine as far as space goes. i figure that they are about 1.5+ foot tall if i was to uncoil them.

Did you crop circle of bud that plant?

lobsterxmanx · Mar 29, 2011

how tall is your space? youll need a couple feet in between your light and plants. that lst is prett nice by the way

anyone would think your a stoner lol............got a thread called.......the 12-12 from seed thread..........check it out

Your plants will love it if you add more light! You should start off with the 400w hanging 3 feet over your plants, and lower to 18 inches over the next week, and your buds will fatten up nicely.

from what i can tell i will have about a little over a foot between them when i get the light hung up. so if i started on 50% power do you think that would be equivalent to starting them off at 3ft?

del66666 · Mar 29, 2011

shouldnt need 3 ft mate...........be to far to do any good.

sso · Mar 29, 2011

i start them a foot away from a 600w hps.

its not the intensity of the light. (unless you got something ridiculous going)

its the heat. (and to a lesser extent, lack of humidity.)
