HP-yeah thanks for swinging in...i think your right for sure on the promix-bx...it can get a little soggy if you are not careful..i will mix it in next time i make up some pots..and see what happens...the yellowing leaf...that was from the initial pot i put that BB in..the soil was crapola..almost killed my whole crew...i cut them lower suckers off...all of them came back now and are almost back to normal..
whats the problem with the lights?...i started off with cfls only because i do NOT paty the light bill here...my boss does...i figured i could run my 1000w mh for 12 hours a day and use the 6500 cfl's for the other 12hrs..i am actually using a combo of 2500k and 6500k lamps..is that going to make everything herm out? if so i will cut them cfls off and bump my 1000w up to 16-18 hrs...
i have been hearing mixed reviews on the cfls and got worried that i was not going to do any good with the cfls...i sure like them though...i just hate all that high power action of the hid's going on...it escaltes the risk if you will...noise, fire, heat, elect, etc. etc..
if i am f-ing up somebody needs to set me on the right path here...have i already f'd these up?
i am glad you came by HP...dont be a stranger now ya hear?

Hey crawdad, I am so happy that things are going well!
Not sure why you are switching from the HID to the cfls but that will mess up the plants with differing light intensities....keep them on the same consist light strength and pattern. Don't stress about electricity....just pay your bills on time. The 600 uses the same power as my computer here, and half as much power as a small electric portable heater.
Nice score on the BB! I thought they only smoked meth in Wasilla? :wink: If that is the large plant in your pix, watch for nitrogen deficiency. It appears that the bottom leaves may be yellowing (if not a trick of the camera/lights). If so, increase your N some.
I would also suggest adding more perlite to your mix. I would add at least 30% extra to the promix. This will help drainage and aeration. It is possible that the N def is a result of waterlogged roots/poor drainage, but I don't think that is the case here, they don't look waterlogged. Still add the extra perlite next transplant. Make sure those pots are almost dry (just at the point of slight wilt) and that they are very light in weight when you lift them, before watering again.
BTW, you are in the right forum. Seems this place is a little slow these days, or maybe everyone is all freaked out by the new look!
Good luck with your girls!
