Hey, I just got a couple clones from a friend I put them in my tent under a 400w hps and after about 15 minutes they start to wilt. I think it's a venting problem, but I have a fan, and a hole in the top about 3 square inches anyone help with this?
Put them under t5 or cfl lamps for a few days. Let the clones adjust. The heat from HPS is too much for them to handle.
May have been wrong to call them clones, Cuz I think they might be from seed actually, they are well rooted and looks like grown from the bottom, they have very thin stems, and about 4 leaves about 4 inches though.
HPS is for the flowering stage. Get some cfls to veg them under. If they are small enough to put back into a dome, they will probably bounce back throghout the night. Good Luck!
The bounced back in 10 mins in a normal room, I don't have any cfls, it's a dual spectrum hps, I thought it could be used for both?
of course it can. I like to preserve my flowering bulb by using a separate light for vegging. The hps are only really bright for the first few months, after wards they get slightly duller. Having the light on 18/6 instead of 12/12 will dull out faster. I use pulse start 3k lamp because it stays brighter for longer.
