What size are your pots/how tall are your plants? Also, if your not getting run-off that could mean your soil is to dense and your not getting enough air to your roots.
Actually more of the smaller ones are better then a few big ones. The high watt ones get kinda hot. And with more smaller ones you can spread the light around more.
I'm not a fan of eBay. And i'v heard that they store peoples info(like address) when they buy suspicious items. Not saying a Ph meter is a suspicious item but if you buy that, plus lights, reflectors ext... They might start to get what's going on.
Just what i'v heard,
You can use a MH bulb for the whole grow. Although MH bulbs are more blue spectrum they still have red in there I dont know if it will "seriously" hurt your yeild but it will most likely bring in down some.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure that side lighting us "USELESS". If that were true we wouldn't coat are grow spaces with shinny stuff to reflect light tward the sided of our plants.
Just my thinking, could be wrong.
Here is that same Milwaukee meter for way less then $120.

Here's the same model just as a TDS meter

I have never ordered anything from this site but it's got the best prices I gave seen.
Hope...
Not true. Look at the first pic. Zoom in and you can see WHITE trics on the leaves. If he ajusted the HUE of white then they would also be pink.
Very nice plant. Again you should clone that babys baby, breed it and FedX me some Beene.
