I started with 2 fluoros that were 20w each. My plants leaves started to turn brown and yellow, so I decided to get a new light. it's a mH light and I just wanna be sure that they'll survive. Please give me you advice

Should be fine. Watch the temperature you will see a big difference with your MH bulb. Shouldn't get over 85 degrees in your grow room.

They'll be mucho happy with the new light! Mebbe it's just me, but the top of your soil in the last pic looks kinda powdery - watering time?

Good call Lothar. You are right about the soil.

well I just transplanted them from cups to pots, the roots were all the way to the bottom with the rocks. I put rocks in the pots as well, to help the drainage. So I only put a little water on them until next watering time. Also that bulb is only 175w, so do you think I'll be ok? They were under 2 20w fluoros.

no it's not a regular socket, but it doesn't need a ballast either. I just wired it to a regular wall plug in, and once it's plugged in, boom, this light is bright as hell to me
