    So what happens to plants under HPS light without proper ventilation?

    Open attic. I enclosed a 12x6 area last winter with heavy plastic and reflective insulation on top of the plastic. Opened it up a little, enough to pull some cooler air in with a reg fan. What are the 4" CAN fans and where'd you get them?

    So what happens to plants under HPS light without proper ventilation?

    I don't have anything to move the heat from the light.It's 400 wts. I didn't understand the importance of this when i bought my set up. I got my plants 2 weeks now under 12/12. I've had to move the light almost three feet above them because they were drying out too fast. As a result right now...

    Will HPS light cause all growth to fall off half way down stalk?

    Wow. I was spraying with fertilizer. I only did it 3 times about a week ago. After that I ended up refilling the sprayer with just water. So can anyone tell me, what is the difference between keeping a 400 watt hps light say,16 inches away verses 3ft? And is 50 a good humidity temp?

    Will HPS light cause all growth to fall off half way down stalk?

    400 watts and 2 to 3 ft from plants. I don't have a air flow hooked up to it. Sometimes it gets 90 up there in the attic. I got a fan in the grow area and 12/12 lights on at night and off during day to keep temps down when light is on.

    How far to have HPS light from plants in flowering stage?

    I know when in veg stage we keep the metal halide light about 2 to 3 feet from them. Is it the same with the hps bulb for flowering stage? Or do I need to pull it closer? Been using cfl's for the past year, just got my set up a while back. Got them ready for flowering stage.

    Is there much difference in the heat temps when you switch from metal halide to hps?

    I was using cfl's for a while. I switched about a month ago to HPS lighting. What a difference. They seem to grow so much faster.They also get dry easier. The heat from the metal halide bulb would dry the edges of some of the leaves and they would curl up and die. I've been watering every 2 days...

    Is it ok to to switch lights to on at night and off during our day light?

    It gets too hot during the day with the lights on. The temp is just right with them on at night. Right now they are in the veg stage. I'm not sure about mixing their days and nights up like that though during flowering stage. I had some in flowering stage back along with the lights like that and...

    Can anyone tell me the difference between an HID hps bulb verses hortilux hps bulb?

    I found HID hps 400 watt bulbs at Lowes. It's double cost at hypodronic stores. They have both the HID and hortilux. Is the hortilux so much better and why?

    Yellow jacket power cords...

    I've been using cfl's the past year. I just bought an HPS switchable set up. It gives you the option of using 120v or 240v. I have a yellow jacket power cord i got from lowes. Are these type cords 240v? I threw the plastic paper away that was connected to it back along. So i have know idea.
