Is this gonna be a problem???

i had 20 plants in dixie cups that are almost 4 weeks old that have been growing under 4 t5's. i have been waiting for a 600 watt hps/mh light setup, well the shit came today so i started transplanting into 5 gallon buckets, after the transplant i opened my package to find one broken bulb{mh}. I figured while i wait for a new one ill plug in the hps, so idid and the room light up like a fuking christmas tree, real nice u know? then after about 10 minutes i went back to check and the light was off!~ after waiting 4 it 2 cool off i pulled it out and the bulb looked like a mercury bomb went off inside of it, so now i have no hid bulb at all and the t5 wont cover all the buckets, ican try 2 use the t5, or leave the plants in the dark 4 a while, they need 2 be sexed anyway. whats the worst that can happen? and when ur done laughing ur ass off, maybe you can tell me what u would do

id leave them under the t5 some light is beter then none! and you caint just leave them in the dark to sex! you need equl light hours also! 12/12 so just use what you got untill you get your other bulbs! ( but thats me )

i just set up the lights in a cross pattern, i have another bulb i found at htg supply on the way should be here soon. how long can and should i leave them in the dark to sex? i think its time, so if i can let them alone in the dark for awhile i most def- will do that

o i see that u said CANT- SORRY

USUALLY 3 OR 4 DAYS WILL TRIGGER SEXING oops.
after the first signs u can switch back too veg.
but most plants will show u sum signs even under veg conditions

i would leave em under the t5 for now and maybe rotate them every day to let have equal light. do u have a good hydroo store nearby? bulbs arn't that expensive

hey why did u leave em in cups for so long? maybe thats why they stunted?

i usually transplant after i see the roots hit the bottom.

Peace

i was saying dont leave them in the dark waiting on a new bulb cuz he wouldnt know how long that would be untill his new bulb came!

i was forced to grow in a way most would not even try, but a recent move gave me the extra room and security that i needed to be proper. i wish my luck didn't suck so bad on this bulb deal, but i'll just have to be extra patient. i ordered the 95,000 lumen 600 watt from htg supply, tony said he'll have it here by the 5Th. im just weary about my best friends bieng un-happy in that insufficient light.

i was up all night mixing soil for the 5 gallon containers and getting everything just right, knowing today was light delievery day i put the finishing touches on everything just to get 2 broke ass bulbs and a kick in the balls, o well this fatty is gonna help!

gotta cali call a minute ago, it was the people i ordered the stuff from, the said replacements r on the way! dunno if i should laugh or cry

sorry for your delimma bro! hope it works out for you!
