my 400w metal halide conversion bulb just blew(expecting refund since it only lasted a few weeks). anyhow, i put the 400w HPS bulb i have in until I recieve the new conversion bulb i just ordered in a few days. the plants stand only about half a foot tall but very bushy. i have the light about 12" over the plants(6 pots) in a hydroponic/aeroponic setup. also have fans lightly cooling the area and shaking the plants slightly to help them grow a little more sturdy. I just added lines of string to help support some of the branches. but my main concern is using the HPS bulb until the MH comes in. even if it does cause it to start the flowering stage what will happen when i switch back to MH? or should i just leave it in the dark for the next 48hours til the lights in? this is my first grow and i'd appreciate any opinions or interests from you guys. also, ill try to take some pictures of my plants once i figure out a good way considering i dont have a very good camera. anyhow, please leave input. thanks.
