Ok, So I had 3 plants growing under 3 42w halogen tube bulbs-self ballasted.
after about 12 inches of growth after 2 1/2 months the leaves started to shrivvle..
I bought a proper H.I.D ballast from a friend that runs 1000w, bought the bulb i said above.. and pretty much what i want to know is if im going to have any problems with the bulb? my freind told me there used to be a 1000w bulb in it b4 but, this bulb was all i could find.. ill post pics asap, also note i started using ferterlizer steroids or watever u wanna call them about 2 weeks b4 i put this light in. and i have 10 more seeds to start fresh with this new light. and help or tips would be muchly apreciated :D
