  1. Well my friend that got me the light is being an asshole cuz he broke up with his girl and ive been hangin out with her, so he took his HPS light back, I wont have money to get ANY type of light untill Thursday the 10th, I was wondering how long my plants can go with no light...... and how bad it will fuck them up.. they are 1 and a half feet tall, 3 days of flowing, hydro..grown in rockwool.... they look VERY healthy right now but who knows if they will in like 6 days =\
     
  2. If they are in flowering, I'd say you are quite screwed. It fcks with a plant alot tochange its lighting schedule during flowering.
     
  3. Yea thats probably gonna fuck em up, might make them hermy.. best bet is to get to a store (walmart/home depot) and at least get a couple 42watt CFLs (they're cheap, like $9 a piece) and keep those on the plant till you get your HPS light back...
     
  4. ok well I have a cfl light n it right now, dunno how many wats or anything but You guys think If i just use that 1 and keep the lights on the same schedule it would at least help ?
     
  5. The more wattage you can get, the more it's going to help... I mean if you're running 1 15W CFL on a plant thats been under 400w of HPS, i'm not sure how thats gonna work, you should at least pick up a couple 42watters, they're under $10!
     
  6. I cant tho thats the thing this 1 will have to work for now... I spent my last 10 bucks on 2 packs of smokes to last me the weekend... -_-
