I have noticed a little bit of tip burn but really not enough to even worry about. It's my 1st grow started at the end of Oct 2012 and now into the dead of winter with nothing more than a 10 gal round lawn cart on wheels resembling a bucket, Miracle Grow and a fairly cheap LED and space heater. I got about a nickle+ from one Betty Boo. Not by weight but just by eyeing it up. That's all bud, no sugar leaf. I can't complain since this was never really thought through and the seeds were started in my AeroGarden. Once it became obvious I had to transplant or be caught by my wife and kids, MG in a bucket sounded pretty good.

Maybe the next time I'll do it under better conditions with the right soil, pH, lighting, temps, nutes, etc. For the grower in a pinch...Miracle Grow will git r done! As far as bulbs...I've read the only thing that will bring the infra-red heat seekers to you is telling people you're growing. Don't tell anyone. Once word gets out it spreads until it reaches the wrong ear and then you're in trouble.
