hi there, I need a new light asap (like in a couple of days time so i can use my only florescent tube for newly germinated seeds).
These 2 plants have been under a florescent tube for about 4 weeks, when i potted them and started using a 400w metal halide i found out it was too powerful for my grow area. I put the florescent up for now because the 400w is far too hot but its going to be needed in a day or 2 for some seeds i have germinating. do you think if i got a 250w ballast & metal halide it would still be too hot or would it be ok?
really need to sort this asap!!!! any advice would be great
heres some pics.
