heres another picture of the leaf that has bleached the most; i had a problem with underwatering earlier, but i thought it had cleared up, and im pretty sure that this is a problem with the amount of light, and im thinking i should put it farther away from the plants; just looking for another...

Alright, just got my lights and just started them under the lights; i think the plants might be too close to the light or maybe not getting enough water, but the symptoms arent totally there yet. there seems to be a little cupping and part of a dead leaf (though it may have been dead earlier)...

anyone ever tried this? if my hobbies and interests change, i'd like to be able to use my lights for something constructive maybe there's a guide around here or something?

GE is releasing a bunch of new bulbs, wondered what everyone thought of them; heres a link: http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20090706005841&newsLang=en

I know this is good advice, but i cringe whenever someone mentions to cut off the ball sacks

Alright, not to flood this board with posts, but i'm curious exactly how much power a 400 watt HID will draw on my bill each month. i know that its less than peak from my computer; im just curious if anyone has found a chart that compares it to common household appliances...

thanks, looks like i should really invest in a MH bulb. does anyone have experience with lumatek ballasts and what i would need to do to set it up for MH? just plug it in and go? specific bulb? do i need a conversion bulb or can i just use a run of the mill one since i bought the electronic...

Alright, so i have a 400 watt HPS lamp, how much better is Metal Halide at vegetative than HPS? i've seen a million threads that say MH is better, but i havent found anything quantifiable yet about the improvement. i have a lumatek ballast, so i can buy a metal halide bulb if its a huge...

thanks for the help, i wish i had bought that perlite now; im worried about the plants having soggy soil guess thats why i started with bagseed rather than buy myself some killer stuff online live and learn, i guess

also, will it come back from this?

checked in some of the stickies, looks like this is probably from overwatering; i just watered today so that might be the case im still worried about the roundness at the ends of some of the leaves and the weak stem though; could overwatering cause that?

hey, all of my plants but one are growing strong; but this one is really doing badly, falling over without support and has started wilting; heres a picture of it can anyone help? sorry if this is a newb problem, lol

i get obsessed with eating good things after smoking, who thinks about their bong water, i just dont get it

heres a good question, i've been looking at the lumatek ballasts, and i know ebay isnt reputable, but i found this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270406034487&_trksid=p2759.l1259 how can they afford to sell so cheaply, do they have refurbished units or something?

i've seen alot of positive lumatek reviews, how is digital greenhouse? future-brite?

hey everyone, i've been doing a windowsill grow up to this point while i've been desperately searching for a good light system on craigslist, but it looks like i'm not going to find it in time, as my plants are already mature enough that they desperately need the light, so im looking online for...

Well if its more expensive than just buying a conventional kit then im not interested, but with option a did you mean i could just use a standard ballast with the light or that it would be more complex than that?

hey, i have an opportunity to pick up a trio of good metal halide lights for very cheap, but they are integrated with 277 volt ballasts. now, i dont know much about electronics, but is there any way to purchase a ballast for home use and hook the fixtures to that? also, are the 277 volt lights...
