i am seriously bumbed out. first my ballast burnt out the other day. i lost only 2 hours light time. thought i was using 1000w HPS and was worried because the other light & ballast i have is 600w HPS. turns out i had a 430W and went up to 600w (much Hotter).
i'm growing biggie/little strain from navara. 7 out of 10 are ladies. 25 days into flowering and i already raised the roof to 5 foot from 3.10". my light sits up even with the top of the box 3.5 d, x 4 w, x 5 h. hood out of the box. since i put the 600w hps bulb in these babies shot up 12-15 inches in less than a week. last night i check on the grow and low and behold 3 ladies have burnt dried out tops. "taste was ok, and the buzz shocked me it was that good".
i cut them nicely but i think i should remove them, i'll have 4 left with room to tie down and work on'em when needed. i try tieing them now but without much room in there the fan leaves are breaking, shoots bending and breaking etc.
i'll know better next time about space and not start as many. after seeing BBP's journal pics of one lady and one fine lady at that (grats dude) i'm ok if i have 2 or 3 ladies at a time. or one for that matter.
any insight would be very welcome. positive or negative please let me know what you would do or not do with this situation. 7 ladies, 3 burnt tops, 4 healthy.
