Little help please...

Its been from June 7th that my white widow has developed leaves. Does it appear that it has stunted in growth? Ive seen other peoples pictures where it is twice as large in the same amount of time... Im using Canna nutrients...ml per 2.5 gal...im also using a the small T-5 lights the 24 inch. 2 bulb....should I upgrade the light now to maybe a 250mh? Any advise I would appreciate.

upgrading from t-5's to HID is always a good thing

Is that why I havent seen fast growth?

i agree hid is way better, do you have hps for flowering..

I dont yet, but that white widow is going to be my mother plant....I found a 250watt light for sale...it says it has a argosun gold bulb...i emailed him and he said the bulb has bothhps and hd spectrums. do you know anything about that?

More importantly......what is your soil condition? Edit: oops, I see you are using canna nuts, so i assume you are in coco. How's the Ph of your water? Are you using tap or bottled etc. There's a list here in the infirmary that has questions you can fill out, to help us better help you. It's in the sticky Common Sense Use of the Infirmary I believe. Top of the Infirmary forum^^^.

As for the light, there are bulbs out there that offer both spectrums.. i am willing to bet that the lack of hid light my be one reason your plants are not taking off like you hoped.. 250w is a great start

I see, thanks for being stright forward. I decided to buy a new light other than buying used. My question is...would a 175 hid light be sufficient enought for keeping a mother plant? Or is it overkill?
