    why does red spectrum ligh..

    Hello Mctuffet Well I'm affraid I'm going to be no help whatsoever here

    That's what happened to my present grow as well. About a week after switching to HPS on the 12/12 cycle they just went limp and droopy, I put the MH back in and they picked up.
    Anyway I tried the HPS again and they drooped again so I gave them a while under the MH and they picked up again
    However since being back under the HPS yet again they seem to be ok.

    Although there was quite bad condensation problems at the time in the growroom, I have been unable to say what the actual cause of the problem was ????

    Told you I was going to be no help at all .............. sorry

    Oh, it was thought that it might have been "overwatering" that could be the cause .............. I just don't know



    love mand xxx

    funny, Ive got 2 new seedlings under a warm white cfl, I think this gives out a red light spectrum. they are drooping quite a bit to the point that im worrying, I cnt think what it could be other than the light, They hvnt been overwatered or given ferts yet

    thanx mand for the thought and sharing. i switched to hps and that is causing it to droop as well. it's not over watering. iknow that for a factr becaseu i cnas swtich back and forth between hps and mh and see the change happen.

    Hello Mctuffet , Hello Mobay .................... Well I've never known it before but this grow has been effected by changing the light.
    Infact after putting the MH back in the plants perked up no end after just one day


    I have no idea what the problem was ????, and they are ok now under the HPS

    It's been a real mystery
