They will be fine with those light sittuations.
Keep up the good work and think about getting some Cal Mag so you don't run into any more defs.

You want HPS running both through veg and flower anyway, just no MH during flowering.

Razzkazz... you can veg. with hps no problem. that is what i would say 75% of growers veg with when using HID lights. If you have one switchable balast I can let you barrow a MH 1000w bulb that is still in prime condition. i would only put them in veg for about a week or two after you transplant. contact me if you want to work something out.

Well, I have one switchable that currently has a MH bulb in it, and as it turns out I think the other ballast is switch-able as well. To be honest with you I never even opened the thing prior to last night. When I saw HPS written on the top I assumed it was only HPS, but then I see a switch at the bottom. So, I think I am okay. With reguards to ventlation I only have a closed circuit set up, that is pulling cool air from outside, through the lights and pushing it into the attic. I hope to buy a carbon filter real shortly and set up the ventilation for the room itself. But in the meantime if I was going to start flowering in the next few days, I could always just make it an open circuit that will bring fresh air into the room. This way I could close off the entire room, so they get complete darkness when the dark cycle is on. For now we keep the door open during the day to get fresh air in there, obviously that won't work during flowering. Then the hoods would not be air cooled (only for a few days until I can afford other things I need) so they would need to be a little higher than they are now. Do you guys think this is my best option? I plan to veg for a few days once they get transplanted, but unfortunately I won't be able to afford the carbon filter *j8st* yet. So this was my idea for a possible solution that can buy me a little time.

P.S Cruz, I sent you an email. Don't plan to veg for even another full week after the transplant, they are getting big real quick, I don't want monsters on my hands for my first time! Adios!

If I don't borrow a MH from a buddy, its okay to have half the plants under HPS and half under MH? It will only be for a few days until I start flowering. Just don't want to flower when they are in stress from transplant.

[santacruz_organic]

Some growers actually preffer half MH and half HPS. it gives you a wider spectrum of light even though each side of the spectrum is the best for each part of the grow. i emailed you back 2.

After a rather stressful night last night (blew a circuit about three times before figuring out theres absolutely no way to run both lamps off the outlets in the grow room) the plants have been transplanted into three gallon pots.

To add to the stress, apparently something was in my ventilation line, and when the fan went off when the fuse blew, it got into one of the lamps, and then proceeded to melt when the lamp got turned back on. I freaked out and called a buddy, turned out it was wax, and both of us are quite confused about where it came from.

So, for now I have a cord coming from the bathroom under the door of the grow room (real stealth, I know...) I will have to look into other options soon. As for the plants though, alot of them appear quite droopy.

The transplant was done less than 12 hours ago, so I am really really hopeful that most of them bounce back. I immediately gave them water upon transplant and also put some b1 (thrive alive) in the water to help them root. It said on the bottle to soak the roots in b1 and water, but I thought you are never supposed to leave roots exposed to light or anything? I played it safe and just put the reccomended dose in the water prior to watering the plants in their new homes. I will post pictures later, but will this droopy-ness most likely go away? They look super thirsty almost, but I know they can't be, I gave em alot of water.

I did not water to the point of 15% run off (which I was recently reccomended by a friend) but I do know they received enough water to get them through the next few days at least.

What ya guys think? Pictures coming later, hopefully their health improves quickly like it did when I first put them from the cup I received the clones in, into the small starter pots. Anyhow, thanks cannabis.com

Wanted to add, some look alot better than others, so I know it's not a question of them being thirsty... it's the shock they are going through. Let me go ahead and say that I will never start clones out in anything smaller than 3 gallon pots again. I was reccomended by several friends to just start em out in big pots, but the guys at the hydro store talked me out of it. Next time I stick with my original plan and never need to transplant.

Sorry to hear you're having problems, I've transplanted 2 times during my grow and so far have not had any problems. As far as a solution to your problem, I would recommend letting them grow for a couple days and hopefully they will recover, however make sure that when you watered you covered all the pot with water, not just around the plant because that is sometimes a common misconception and it could lead to droopy leaves.
