I went on vacation for 4 days. When I came back they were wilted a bit. I watered them and gave them a little of the recipe for success, they perked up then the next day they look a bit wilted. Any Ideas of what is the problem if any...

Well all I can tell you is that the plants quit wilting and are bouncing back very nice. The light was a shock. Could be due to the fact that it was only one 2 foot flor 20w they were under, but the meter would only reg. 300 when the sensor was held on the flor itself. the HPS holding the meter...

I was told by another grower that if you have your plants under a low level light, and then strait into a HPS or High output. It can shock the plant. If the plants were doing well under the 300 meter reading They should be ok under the 500 it is receiveing now. I will see how they do in a week...

My plant seems to be coming back. For those that said HPS light after using flro would not hurt the plant were wrong. I raised the light to five feet above the plant and they are coming back. I read in another site where someone had the same exact problem. And after he raised the light his...

I may have found another problem that I was doing wrong. I had bought a used timer. It works fine, I just did not understand how to use it. It has a ring of buttons to pull up and I thought that you would pull up one button for the time you wanted off and one for the time on. I did not realize...

Well I have done some research, and others have had the same problem. Plants that are not used to HPS and have been under FLOR. can wilt. Just as they can wilt if grown inside and then taken out side. I hope they recover. I also raised the light about 4 feet above the plants. The meter now shows...

There was a catch tray and I would empty it out after the drainage was done. The temp runs about 72 to 78. One thing that has changed is the light. I put a light meter under the 20w floresence and it regested 300 to 400. I put the meter under the new HPS light at the plant level and it regesters...

Yes there was one seed that did not look like it was going to do well and they both came in. I can not seperate them now. Unless I cut it and try to clone the whole plant.

I have been told that I am over watering and they are wilting. I bought a moisture tester today. I put the sensor in the soil to the bottom and middle and top. all readings are dry dry dry. The plants are wilting more. Here is what has changed since they were recovering from Nute burn. I took...

Does any one have any guidence on useing a moisture meter when decidiing when to water?

I also moved the light so it is about a foot above the plants, put in a small fan, and moved the plants to the bulb end of the light instead of the balast. I did not pay attention to which end the bulb was on. I drained all the extra water in the catch dish and will let it dry for 3 days.

I will move the light closer, but I just watered again. I doug my finger 3 inches and it was as dry as could be. Not one pc. of soil would stick to my finger. It was as clean as when I put it in. The soil is not that great. It was cheap soil with no nutes or pete. It does not hold the water so...

here are a couple of photos one before the wilting and one after. The wilt does not seem to be continuing. Is it from over watering? I do not have a fan on them, but the temp stays between 75 and 81.

I received the seeds from a friend when visiting a while back. So I don't know what varity it is. I'm hoping a good one. LOLI bought the recipe for success kit and mixed the veg. state recipe and put 1/8th cup on the two plants. Nothing on the seedlings. they are in premixed potting soil. I was...

Thanks to all those who help. I do appreciate it as a newbie to the hobby. My plants were doing nicely, but they were under a 20w 2' flor. light. I took them out in the sun every day for several hours. The only thing I changed is I installed the new 150w HPS light 2' from the top of the...

I just set up my new 150w HPS it is about two feet from the top plant. The temp is 78 give or take. I do not have a fan but the temp is not to hot. I can put my hand on the top of the top leavesand hold it there and not feel very hot at all. Why woul d the plant leaves wilt? I had a 2 foot 20w...

I just picked up the recipe for success starter kit. Has anyone ever used it? If so and its not to much trouble could someone direct me to a place or tell me a general guide to using the kit? Thanks for any info and help.

I was useing a Flor. 2 foot. I just put in a 150 HPS today. This will give ten times the Lums. I hope this will take care of the problem. BTW How much does it cost to run one of these HPS 18 hours a day? Appx. I don't need an exact.

I have a couple of seedlings that are growing tall fast. I had a couple break a while bak. Should I stake them? If one breaks can I use cloning hormone and replant?

I have a couple of photos of my plants day over day. I noticed that a couple of the leaves started to look like they were getting a ting of yellow again. The only thing I did was water them around the outside of the pot instead of near the stem. I may have pushed some of the plant food down that...
