Things to Know About Lighting

if you are asking about the plant you posted two pictures of, it appears nothing is wrong with them...they are green and healthy.

Droopy leaves is usually caused by overwatering....I believe...someone with a bit more experience than my 1 year of growing can confirm or deny this however.
Leaves will also droop when it is nearing time to be watered. The pics posted show healthy plants, I agree, so the OP was doing something right. Wrong place for a discussion on watering, though.

Do you know if those 0.6 bulbs nvm. I need to get a place to grow
Im thinking colorado but I dont know.
I dont even got a computer to use, this one isnt mine. Thats why I cant really get my grow set up. My parents found the grow I had set up in a hallowed out dresser. Thats because they got a key to my room because the fuck head cops gave her my keys. They where supposed to just give her the key to the car. O well, cant cry over spilt milk, I never would have made much money with it the way it was. Full of nasty ass dirt that well had pretty much every possible thing in it except what should have been in it. So I got all that cleaned out now but still cannot grow there because I have no motivation to grow there anymore. Im now thinking about growing outdoors on a near by indian reservation. Ive already driven threw it a few times and got a pretty good feeling about where I can get some water. The grow area is going to be super high tech camoflagued so that I only have to worry about traps. Traps will be things like electric fence and shit. Ive been thinking about rigging explosives to some of the ones that I got hanging on trees in my mind. Its just an idea forming in my mind for if I discover that there is a lackey in the area. Unfortunately for one thing is that I do live in ND. If only I could live somewhere like columbia, and just have my own farm. Even buy an island like Hawii, and just grow my crops there and ship it out to where evers esyest. Shit I dont know how to spell. Got to learn how to live with it I guess, not like Ill be living much longer. I treat my health so bad that I got to pop. drink pop. god I dont know what my mind is doing here, Im supposed to be talking about how I am saving up money to buy an Ipad2 so that I can have my own computer so that I dont have to worry about the shit that Im s
I can't believe no one replied to this post yet! Maybe because everyone figured it was a joke? Certainly a sad statement about the future if this is how kids nowadays actually think. Couldn't let it go without a reply. Sorry for the off-topic comment.

Droopy leaves can also happen if the soil is compact and not airy enough. Peat has a tendency to do this if not properly broken up with perlite, coco, or other good stuff.

I have read that you can switch out 1000w MH bulb with 1000w HPS bulb without having to switch HPS ballast, however, I purchased the dimmable HPS light and ballast and would like to use MH bulb dimmed to 600 while in veg, and switch back to 1000w HPS bulb for flower, without different ballasts.

Anyone know if this will work without a hitch?
Any help on this is appreciated.
Sorry if this was already asked and answered.

Here is the light I purchased.

Most Pet stores carry CFLs that provide UVB spectrum light. Seems Iquanas (sp?)..the lizard from arid zones. HAVE to have exposure to their skin or they will die. Try a high end pet stores that sells lizards. They should have them...GL bro!
How about UVB rays spectrum lights? It is proved UVB increase THC quality and quantity. Neither CFL, MH or HPS are no UVB rays.`

Yup yup...I'm a general contractor...they are in fact all over large construction sites.

HOWEVER I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE STEALING FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES...IT'S DARK, THERE'S NO ONE AROUND...THEIVES THAT ARE CAUGHT ARE GENERALLY DEALT WITH SEVERLY WHEN CAUGHT IN DARK PLACES WITH NO WITNESSES.

BESIDES IT'S JUST FAWKING WRONG TO STEAL AND ALMOST AS WRONG TO CONDONE OR SUGGEST IT. BAD FORM MY FRIEND, BAD FORM!!!!!!

and on a more personal note...thanks, it's people like you that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year replacing crap I find stolen, you know we can't work when you steal our stuff?!!?!?! Oh and those lights, that's called EGRESS LIGHTING, it's sole purpose is so we don't trip and kill ourselves at 5am when the fawking sun isn't even up yet. And when it's not in place OSHA comes and shuts down our job site because we are then in violation of federally mandated construction safety laws!!! Makes me sick when I have to be woken up by my Foreman because someone stole from our job site!!!!

YOU WANNA GROW POT FINE...DON'T STEAL FROM HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SECOND THIS! GET A F**king job.... if you cant buy your own shit to grow, then dont do it..... and people wonder why americans are hated EVERYWHERE.. its shit like this, you tell man..

Yeah never fucking suggest stealing to support anything. We are suppose to be growing pot and be friendly and informative people. Besides with the deals on Amazon on APOLLO horticulture hoods and ballasts that are under 100$ no need to steal. Get a job!

Happy Growing
