Sorry no one has answered your question before now. Please tell us a bit more about your grow. How old, what's your light set up now, what nutes are you using, what's your basic grow set up? A pic would be nice. Sounds to me like you might not have enough light. If they're old enough, put them under the 400W HPS, just start it out at 18-24 inches, and slowly lower it as close as you can. Do you have enough ventilation to handel a 400 watter?

Wat Kind Of Set Up Do Yu Recomend.im Not Planning On Putting The Light On Until,im Fully Prepared

 

[Spliff Twister]

More light is not going to hurt them so please turn on your 400 and over the next 2 days lower it till its where its optimal for the lights

 

[Spliff Twister]

Do you have vent fans? Any fans what kind of furts are you using? Soil? How old is the plant? how tall how far into veg or flower?

[Spliff Twister]

MH is best for vegging HPS is for flowering

Hmm fox farm & worm casting thats what I have used and never had a problem. How often are you watering?

[tat2gee]

If Yu Want To Know If I Have Any Squirel Fans,cage Can,ect.no I Dont .i Have To Small6 Inch Turbo Fans..one Is Hangin From The Ceiling Towards The Plants And The Other Is At The Bottom Left Hancorner Of My Grow Area.i Made A Frame With Wood Then I Covered The Walls With Black Industrial Bags.dont Get Me Wrong Its Done Very Neat I Got Dat Hook Up From Mr. Grren.looks Pretty Hot ..

 

[Spliff Twister]

You need to get some type of fan to vent hot air off that 400.

Wait did you just say the inside is black?

 

[Spliff Twister]

is there anyway you can get pictures it would help a great deal

 

[vintner]

Are you doing anything to bring fresh air into the room? Sounds to me like you've got enough lights to veg a couple of plants, but if your not venting the air out of the room, they start to run out of CO2. That 400 watter is going to force you to vent though. And, Spliff is right. The inside of your walls should be white, and I'd question how well that plastic is going to hold up to the heat of your HPS too.
