Hi Ocitown, thanks, I certainly have done my share of reading and still feel like I know nothing. The vacuum affect is pretty amazing on the box, if I close the doors not latching either of them lots of light comes out the top and bottom, but when the fan turns on the doors close up and light is gone.

Why would I want to go with a smaller light? That confuses me. I was a bit worried with the amount of light I have now. After all my reading I kinda wish I went with a 250w HID air cooled.

I'm having trouble keeping my humidity high, any ideas how I can get it up without a humidifier? Normally its around 25%, never been over 37%. As we speak my meter says LO for humidity, not good. I have a bowl with water in there and a rag hanging above it with one end in the water but not doing anything. I'm able to lock my temp to anything I want, currently 76 degrees.

My baby doesn't look right today, could be several things, any clues? This started to happen yesterday and seems to be getting worse, this is what changed, all at the same time.

I moved the plant closer to the light, about 6", I also just watered it until water came out the bottom holes, it was dry and needed it. The only other thing is one my other plant that is barely growing I did a PH test on the run off water and it was around 4.5. Good chance this one has the same level, both done the same way. Because I just watered it yesterday I'm gonna see what happens when it dries out and my next watering flush it some with 7.5ph water. I'm thinking I might do more harm by watering it again so soon. I adjusted my water to 6.5ph or so before watering, I'm now thinking it might be this auto feeding soil my local hydro sold me that's dropping my PH level, and he claimed to know what he was talking about.

Any help would be appreciated!!
