Have 6 clones which were sitting in a humidity dome for 2 weeks. Took them from under florou's & took the lid off the dome & put them under the HPS.
Now they're not standing at attention but drooped over looking like shit...
Did I kill'em?
Think I should put them back under the gentle lights?
Anyone have this happen to them before?

man i did the very same thing bro.it might not be to late for you but i killed my gifted NL/Shivas.you need to ease them under the big lights bro or its too much to quick.Id suggest vegging a week or so under more potent flo's or raiseing the big lights pretty high to keep from anillateing them.

so you went from a humidity dome with flouro's to no dome and HPS. Sounds like you needed to take the dome off under the flouro's then move to the HPS.
Kinda like hardening plants before moving them outside.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking... I still don't know if the roots popped as I didn't want to uproot them. However, I put them back under the lid & under the flouro's just to see if they'll come back... 3 don't look too bad but the others, well I'm suprised they're still upright.
make sure there rooted first bro ;)
hope they all pull thru
grow on
yea bad idea putting them under hps. hps is too hot for them. Clones like the blue spectrum/flourescent lights, and high humidity. I like to leave em under the flourescent for a week with a humidity dome over them (just a plastic bag). i take the dome off for a couple hours every day, and only water the rockwool once every day or two. after they have shown roots for a couple days, then I transfer to the hps. if they are leaning over, its definately due to heat and possible over-watering. when they begin to wilt is a good sign that they are healthy and ready for more water. i use 400ppm bloom nutrient at 6pH. They like to be under the light 24hrs a day too. This method worked for me so I thought I would share.
