I changed the pots and my plants doing much better now and i think its recovering. I was using compact fluorescent bulbs before even though i had a high pressure sodium bulb because i didnt have a power surge to plug it into and i didnt have a fan. Now that i have those i want to make the change, but im not sure how stressful it would be on the plant. If i just make a sudden change in the lights would that be bad? Here are some other questions i had..
- How far away should the plant be from the hps(im thinking 18 inches?)? i think it may be a 400 watt but it might be 250 or somthing, i was wondering if anyone could maybe tell from the pictures so i took some comparison pictures of it next to a battery.
- What about the fixure around the light? My friend gave me the light and how you see it is how i got it. its made of carboard and tinfoil and its wood where the light screws in The person who did it did a good job, its not shitty looking and its sturdy, but is it safe to use or should i get somthing better?
