I just put my blueberry x lowrdyer in the the dirt a few days ago. I was wondering how far should I keep my 400W hps light away from them? Thanks.

alright thanks. I think they are about 17-18 inches away from the light. I also have a big fan blowing in cool air. My temps stay very low. 70-75 degrees. The only fluros I have right now about the shop lights with the 4 ft tubes. only 40W each. so that would be 80W of fluro for 4 plants.

Hey I was also wondering if I treat my seedlings with neem oil before I even get spder mites if this is ok. They all poked through the soil last night. About .5-1 in. tall. Can I ask you all to pray for me this time because all the plants I grew last time were MALE.

Lowryder strains were also designed to be able to handle 24 hrs of hps light from seed I believe.

Ace, yea I live in the US. I got the seeds from Soul Seeds. Soulseeds F1s

I was really surprised by how fast the shipping was.

And omega ur buds look fuckin great. There is no way I can put the fluros onboth sides because I need lighting for my cellar so I can do laundry and work out.
