Ag first grow. help is appreciated

forget it i just went for it and it worked so no worries. Plants looking good just waiting things out a little. im gonna be at 2 weeks on sunday so im thinking of switching to the 400 w mh light bulb. is that going to be shisty on an electric bill???

never used a HPS but it shouldn't be too much, i think online they have a chart which shows the average cost, google that shit haha

yea not to worried about the cost, my utilites are included with my apartment. hopefully the up in electricity wont draw any suspicion. anyways heres some mofuckin pictures

Lookin good man, off to a great start

Just remember, the electric company doesn't care how much electricity you're using. As long as you pay your bill, they will pay you no mind.

yea in my appartments the utilites are included. so hopefully the landlord does do ne thing

you'll be good man, dont sweat it

Usually, leaves curling down indicates excess heat. But, we'll just have to wait for pics until we can make a proper diagnosis.

yea thats kinda what i was reading a little bit but im not to sure how that is because im just using the ag lights that it came with. if its too light now hows it gonna be we i switch to my 400 w mh bulb in a couple days?

It wouldn't be due to excess light. They could be trying to pull away from the light if it's too close.

Also, nute burn will cause the tips to turn down when they completely dry out.

ok. ill put up a pic o monday. its just a couple of spots here on 2 leaves. i dont think it would be nute burn cause ive only added a 1/4 of an ag nute unless that can do it.how close should my lights be to the plant. and is it the same when i switch to mh bulb.

not too sure on how close, never used HPS. but i think the rule is if you put your hand over the plants, and it feel hot, its too close

she huge!!! shes looking dam good so far only those two leave had brown spots. today i changed the resivour. adding mild growth nutes from general hydroponics. I put in my MH bulb and its bright as fuck. Ill put pics up as soon as my camera is done charging

Looking forward to seeing your girl dude.

same here

alright so in the past 24 hours shit has kinda hit the fan, maybe u guys can help. The roll mylar thing fell on my plant bending the stem a little bit so now im using part of a plastic fork to stabilze that bitch. the stems looking a lot better today but still a little weak. as far as the plant goes, im starting to get more of those brown spots on the leaves. I just changed my nutes not sure if thats the problem. Any help will be great. heres some pics. crossing my fingers.

decided im gonna give it a couple more days under the ag light before i switch to the mh bulb
