Yeah 18/6 if the Veg cycle, mine would go on at 6am, and off at 12pm, and now there on at 6am, off at 6pm, but whatever works for you, i liked mine at 6 because with the cups, you have to water alot, so i usually wake up around 8-9, and i dont go to bed till like 12 anyways, so it worked great for me

yea thats what i just set mine for The lights useually don't wake me up the heat does i need to cut some holes in my homemade fixture to let some of the hot air out but would i lose light if i done this?

That would probably work, i just went bac and looked at the set up, your walls are white, and your light fixture has reflective material, so you shouldnt lose that much if anything, i would also try pointing that fan up, towards the lights to keep things cool, and circulate the air in there, then that way with those hole you would make, it would help it seep out of the fixture if that makes sense

[QUOTE="SICC";3803644]oh ok, how long have they been droopy? do they perc bac up when you water them?[/QUOTE]

No they don't they have been droopy ever since i moved the lights down but i think i've fixed the problem ima wait and see if the new sets of leaves are droopy 2 i moved my lights up to see if heat was the problem which im almost 100% sure of it because it's been almost 90 like if i sleep in and the door is shut for more then an hour it gets toasty in there as soon as so i've been leaveing the door about 1 foot open and do light leaks matter during veg? because i mean plants have the moon and its just light from my Tv
or if i gotta turn my lamp on to pack a bowl or sumthin

And it's weird how here where i live it's been like 90+ for more then a week and my girls where as healthy as good be i just watered extra funny how indoors and outdoors is diffrent it's like they love the hot weather when theres no clouds to be seen and they all point twords the sun it's awsome im gonna have some good pics this year now that i have a camera so be ready =)

P.S sorry i don't use commas i know it's hard to read im just not very good with grammar/spelling i prety much was givin all my highschool english classes and i took alot of Forestry / Horticultur / Agricultur classes see i got busted with 1 joint it was in my cig pack during a search so they sent me to a Vocational school and i took credit recovery for 1 year and i had all my credits so all i could do was take classes that they offered sorry im stoned jabbering along lol

lol its all good man, i never even graduated, fucc a high school diploma :mrgreen:

But it does sound like a heat issue, moveing the light up should help, you still got that going right?
And light leaks dont matter in veg so you should be good for now
