Hi Everybody
New on the site and to growing.My first grow went fantastic Pineapple Kush, Norhtern Lights,Acapulco Gold.Apollo 13 X Vortex and Royal Haze. This first grow was started and almost finished with a non switchable 1000 MH light bringing the plants out to sun by the pool when possible. Obviously they grew awsome 5 1/2' buds falling over.In the meantime I bought a Progro 400 and a Progro 400W put the 400W in the bloom room and the 400 over the plants in the grow room. 2 weeks before harvest I bought a Plantmax 940W conversion bulb to switch to HPS in the bloom room. Of course the new plants Cherynobl,Critical+ and Power Africa are puny. Moved to the bloom room with the Plantmax bulb there is no stretch at all the plants are blooming but are spindly and 2 1/2' tall. Nutes started out as Dyna Gro grow and bloom but switched to Botanicare. Although I like the results in my grow room (moved the 400W to the grow room) I'm not sure if the stunted growth is from the light or the nutes (don't really think its the nutes). Do you think it is the bulb and I should replace the light with a designated HPS light? Sorry so winded.
