u need to get a fan blowing on them to strengthen the stem, u will prob need a support for them so they dont fall over, like a straw split down the middle. the hps gives off more lumens & heat. try to lower the mh more, & burring them deeper will cause stem rot.

I really like the straw idea.....I'm gonna do it! Small clip-on fan was started yesterday, indirectly. At what rate do you think I should move the light closer....6"/day or so? And what's the 1st sign of heat stress I should be looking for in case I go too quickly for them? I dropped it from 3 1/2 feet to a little under 3 feet and am keeping an eye on them, but I have to work during the day so that time makes me a little nervous. I guess I'd be better off going too slow than too fast, right? Thanks a million dude!!!

hi,
im trying to figure out the best way to light proof my closet set up. im growing in about a 2x3 area with a shelf above that takes up about half the closet space. that means i have 2 sides of my grow without any walls. ive tried cardboard but its very clumsy. i was thinking of duct taping black garbage bags. is there maybe something like velcro canvas...........im trying to stay inexpensive also. thankyou for any help |

clones need to be in a humidity dome, until they root, u could clone outside & dip them in cloning solution, & put them in good dirt & cover them w/ something clear to hold in moisture, but your success rate will prob be low. if u can replicate an indoor clone box setup outside then yes it could work.

When you say the leaves will point up, are you talking about just the cerrated edges? In my "test" grow before this, I remember the leaves kind of reaching for the light....maybe at a 30 degree angle or so, the whole leaf though not just the edges or tips. Is this OK or is that a sign of heat stress?

One more question (I bet you've heard that before), I have an air pump & stones that a got for a DIY cloner & i'm wondering if I should be using it to bubble my water before giving it to the plants? I am just using PH corrected tapwater that has sat out for 24-48 hours, but I thought I read somewhere that people were bubbling their water & that it helps with oxygen.
