1day of of MH light and plant is curving upward?

i did the hand test where u see if the light is too hot on your hand, to know how far to have them away from the plant. but..

How many watts is ur mh?? How close is it?

Looks fine to me. I grow outdoors and thats how they look under the sun on a clear warm day.

its 400w, and about 10 - 12 inchs away. thanks haloman! but now i have a few browning leaves. they r the bottom two. leavs were all fine seems till i turned on mh light.. any ideas wud help thanx

10-12 inches above might be a little close for as small as that plant is....try raising the light a few more inches maybe.

raised the light everything seems to be fine now. man for a second there i thought i killed my plants one of them was drying up so bad a few leaves turned white.. now if i could jus figure out how to get rid of these little flies..

Neem oil worked for me.

i use a 400 watt mh, i keep it about 20-24" away from my plants. neem oil and yellow fly tape work great for flys.

do u have a pet possum??????

thats precious

If you wanna get rid of those bugs you can soak a paper towel with vinegar or put garlic by your fan. I used to have little spiders that lived in soil but they left as soon as i left some garlic out, and mosquitos left right as soon as i put in some vinegar. But keep your MH about 16-20 inches away, HID light burn them fast.

Is your air flow good?
i use a 400 mh to veg and my plants love it.I keep it at 8-10 inches.but i do use a air cooled reflector
