Me too bro . I also have 2 new sprouts that are 2 days old but they are stretching real bad cause i raised my lights for my big girl im sure thatll go away once my hps gets here :)
Can't you sit them on something to raise them closer to the light since you can't lower the light ?

yea i prolly can ive been eyeing my roll of duct tape to use as a riser lol but i use it alot so ill find something else . It shouldnt be a problem i added about 1/2 a inch of soil to the top to keep em sturdy so they dont fall over from stretching .

I was gonna say 10" or 12" above it but if 8" works..hey that's even better !

Bro you have no idea how excited i am lol i cant wait to see the difference . I kept 2 Y splitters with 24watt cfls in there for some side light i figured it couldnt hurt as long as temp wasnt a problem and that my can reflectors werent obscuring the hps light .

They sure can't hurt as long the temps stay in range...I wanna see it in a week to see the difference in growth. Throw a couple "blue" CFL's in the mix.

I'm interested to see how much a difference this hps is gonna make, you might just sell me on making the switch too.

Me too bro really the only reason i switched was because it was only 60$ Including shipping so it wasnt really a choice for me at that point lol

Wow yea that's not too bad at all. I guess if you figure after buying all the bulbs for CFls, fixture(s), and y-splitters it comes out to about the same and from what I've heard its much better.
