I believe he was saying the Miracle Gro is your problem. Although, it would be funny if he was talking about Magnesium! Based on the color of the HPS, I would say it does not have an enhanced spectrum. During the vegetative cycle of a plant's growth, it does not use the orang-ish spectrum like it does during flowering. If there is an issue with money, I would suggest going to Home Depot and buying a couple of fluorescents, or envirolights off of the internet. However, if there is no issue with money, a Metal Halide would be best. Save the HPS for flowering.
graph Reviewed by graph on . New Grow SOS!! Morning all~~My plants are 24 days old today, and some are just looking awful. They are under a 400W HPS, temp is around 75 at all times. I did just repot a couple and added more perlite to the soil mixture, as they looked like they may have been overwatered, but they are still looking shabby :( I'm so very new to all this, so any additional help you guys could provide, I (and my hubby) would be appreciative!
