ok heres my dilema...my plants are now at 12" or better , i was gonna start flowering last night , before i put the hps conversion bulb in i decided to try it to make sure it worked , which im glad i did , cuz the daffy thing isnt workin... so my dilema is , i have ordered a new hps system , but it wont get here for 3 weeks so my dilema is the height i have to grow in over all is like 6' 7" , after the light and height of the 5 gallon buckets and height of the plant it leaves me about 4 - 5 ft , my plants have been growing from 1/2 inch to 1 " per day , any way i can slow it down or curb the growth a bit till my hps gets here? any ideas would be greatly appreciated........ the conversion bulb that isnt working , gets hot at the base of the mogul socket , but never lights up..... i think i have a feelin im up the creek without a paddle also , anyone know where i can get activated carbon?
maybe u could clip the tops so that u get bushyier plants. but i think that u could get it started with the MH.
ohh they are bushy , they are better than 1 ft tall , and probably about the same in width from the center stalk , well anyway i started the 12/12 last night , so well see what happens , hey guys answer me one more question , i just bought a 400 watt hps system with ballast , chrome reflector,and light bulbs for it , came with both sodium bulb and mhalide conversion bulb, got it for $135.00 american...... that sound like a good deal?
