thanks bong, they smell very skunky with a slight sweet smell. today my metal halide is not firing, i am thinking of ordering an eye hps conversion bulb for the ballast.hey masta...as for making babies...remember practice makes perfect...the plants look great...the buds look realll sticky and stinky...
hey 40 acres or pappy long lol j/k. glad you checked out my grow. i hope they continue to fill in more til harvest. thanks for the compliment.
thanks nat, i think i might order the hps conversion bulb today. it is only 49$ with an extra 10 for shipping. its a 175w hps conversion for a m57 base which i have. i am just wondering if the bulb or ballast is bad. the ballast is humming but the bulb is not lighting up. if it is the ballast my friend has 2 other 175w ballasts he can loan me. with my luck all 3 ballasts are bad and i will order the bulb lol. i think the hps from what i have seen from everyone, will grow bigger buds. nat i have heard the mh produces smaller more potent buds but who knows lol. nat thanks for your info and advice, it is always much appreciated. also keep growing those kick ass buds.Hey masta hows it going?
I notice that you got a decent light going,good job.
Definitely get the hps if you can as they will produce bigger buds all though i have heard that people think that the mh buds all though smaller are stronger.
I don't know if this is true though.
Best of luck with it,i will pop in when i can
going good bwinn. it is getting hotter here so my room is getting warmer. you guys are convincing me to try this hps for flowering from all your awesome buds and results you all have.
my room is also starting to get hot from the weather. hps is a must faster tight buds what more could you want lol. your grow is going awsome ether way. good jobthanks nat, i think i might order the hps conversion bulb today. it is only 49$ with an extra 10 for shipping. its a 175w hps conversion for a m57 base which i have. i am just wondering if the bulb or ballast is bad. the ballast is humming but the bulb is not lighting up. if it is the ballast my friend has 2 other 175w ballasts he can loan me. with my luck all 3 ballasts are bad and i will order the bulb lol. i think the hps from what i have seen from everyone, will grow bigger buds. nat i have heard the mh produces smaller more potent buds but who knows lol. nat thanks for your info and advice, it is always much appreciated. also keep growing those kick ass buds.

thank you, thank you very much(in a elvis voice). haha i am a corny mufukka
. yeah definately gonna order the eye hortilux conversion bulb. just gotta make sure i have a working ballast somewhere.
thats what i was thinking too. sometimes when it didnt fire i would unplug it and come back an hour later and it would be on. i tried a couple different times today but it wouldnt come on. it was humming like it was running but it didnt come on. maybe tomorrow it might fire when they wake up. if not my friend has extra one that he said is working. i really dont know if i can buy that hps conversion bulb even thought it is 60$. i am barely scraping by on my unemployment. i still think i am gonna order it though lol. fuck paying my cell bill.
I would think as long as it fires its okay. when it was colder it would take 10 minutes for my metal halide to fire. maybe it was going bad. is it still as bright as when you first got it?
thanks for the info dude. glad you like the avatar. ronalds eyes look all gooned out.
thanks for the info too. i was gonna order a hps conversion bulb but just dont have any extra bread atm.
just some crazy pic i found online somewhere. plants are looking decent. they are under just cfl's so i am gonna go pick up another 175w halide from my friend. i do think they are missing the extra light(probably not the heat though).
oh yeah no doubt, hps is the way to go. the reason i am using the mh is cuz they are free from my friend. i went and picked up the halide today and replaced the 175 with another 175(one quit working). here is some funny prank calls from arnold's sound clips. people are fucking idiots, this shit cracks me up.
Nicer buds. Nicer smoke. Better high.
i trust your advice whole heartedly miss lacy.Yo masta .
I grew with cfl's all along until the end of last year.
I would suggest getting a MH light instead. It is much more versatile and you can use a SUNMASTER warm DELUXE bulb and get fantastic results.
The plants still need the blue spectrum while flowering. Although an hps will start up the flowering process quickly at first....it also causes a lot more stretching of the buds. If you use the warm deluxe you get more dense buddage.
You get the picture
i am using a mh along with the cfls too for flowering. my mh bulb went bad so i had to borrow another bulb from my friend. the problem is the new bulb is dropping lumens too because i put my light meter under it. i just ordered a new 175 bulb so that should help in a few days. i appreciate the advice lacy and maybe next grow i should invest in a 400w mh.
