Mand Im having a major prob, hopefully I can ride it out like you did but its

gonna take more major work, I already thought I did enough (guess not) I

think Im going have to install an A/C in my closet. because when I got home

today from work the temp was at 109%F with a 3ft fan. This sucks so bad I

was even thinking of calling it quits, its bad cause I already invested about

$350 like 6 hours of hard labor and Im going to have nothing to show for

Why Me Take a look Mand

Hello B Wel I tried to reply best I could, don't worry just try and get some air in there and cool it down.
To be honest I think that's all you can do .

And B, "DO NOT QUIT".......get that AC running and the temp down and you will be fine .................honest






Well I've not had anymore male flowers yet and I've been messing around with the camera on different settings to try and get a few better pics.
Mind you they still look the same to me, I'm not very good with cameras

I'm thinking about just swoping back onto the HPS bulb again tonight, just to see how the plants react to it .................if they don't like it then I can just put the MH back in

Awesome! mand! those plants look really healthy I must say and by the looks of it probably @ around 5 weeks into flowering or so? correct me if I am wrong,,,,,,your plants look so green! for running that far along in the flowering stage! great looking plants I am entering the 4th week of flowering and everything is looking yellow lol...........wow! Nice Job I must say!

Hello Mellow Man Thankyou very much

I have to check back in the posts to see when flowering was started and yes about 5 weeks .........went on 12/12 cycle on October 20th.

I put the HPS bulb back in last so I'm keeping an eye on them now to see if there ok with it, any signs of drooping and they will have to go back on the MH bulb.
There's been no more male flowers yet, that's the one thing that will make me harvest them early if there starts getting anymore of them
I'm hoping though that things go ok and then harvest around Christmas time.

It won't be a big harvest but they are very sticky now with resin, so with luck the quality should overide the quantity

Mand I know you had some trouble throughout ur grow but thier coming along great.

So I guess what you were trying to say was the the hps bulb was effecting your plants on the negative side of things? why is this? is the hps bulb a old one? or you flowered for most of the weeks under a mh?..............Care to explain your situation! just wanted to see why you believe the hps is doing poorly for your plants rather then the mh......Thanks!

I should also ask are you adding nutes of any kind to the plants because the green looks excellent!

Hello B and thankyou love
I'm pleased to hear that things are going ok now, it can get very frustrating at times "this growing lark ".
Anyway you're not allowed to give up, I'm the only one who can do that I tell you I can get really "mardy" when things don't go according to plan



Hello Mellow Man I'll try and describe the situation
About a week after switching to 12/12, the plants just went all limp and droopy. Anyway I was having some serious problems with condensation in the growroom at the time. So I put the MH bulb back in and they seemed to pick up, I gave them a little while and put the HPS bulb in and they went droopy again.
Now I have honestly no idea what the problem was, the HPS bulb was a new one for my last grow and has only been used for about 8 weeks prior to this grow.
So last night I have put the HPS back in to see what happens, if they start drooping again then I will finish this grow under the MH.
The next crop I will do as normal and if the same happens again then I will have to buy another new bulb and try that.

To be honest this crop has been a proper pain, normally a crop will grow with the minimal amount of attention but this one has actually caused me some stress .
Mind you I think doing a journal of it hasn't helped, I knew from the begining that it was tempting fate for something to go wrong

I've already cut one plant because it was going hermmie on me, but not to worry there will be an harvest and they do seem to be quite nice buds in the respect of the amount of resin they producing


The only thing in the way of nutrients I use is Phostrogen plant food, I just put a pinch of it in the watering can now and again
