the first thing that you can do to help with heat is flatten out the refector. it should be easy to bend and having it cupped around the plant like that is also cupping heat around the plant. if you cant shift that heat with the fan then itll eventually burn. remember heat always tries to rise... if you bend that reflector back, a little way the opposite to how it was. then it will allow alot more heat to rise above the level of the plant - which is a good thing until you can get some extraction or something going..
will flattening the reflector out help you get the fan hitting the plant too? you really need the air from the fan directly on the plant.
heres the good news..
ive got my 250w about 1 inch from the top of my plants 
with a little tweaking you should definately be able to do the same with 125.
good luck. |

Or could i be underwatering? tho i water every other day about a quater cup at the base of the plant, and the temp is only around 27-28 c with the lights on, im so confused thers so manny things it could be. Ill upload a pic of the new growth damage...
The other pic is what i smoked last night some imature cheese (apparently) thanx for helping me so far people im learning alot  |
It's heat stress and light burn.
Slanesh has a 250w cfl, you have a 250w hps, big difference in heat and light intensity.
YOU'RE FRYING THEM!!
