New lights I think...

I'm using 6 flouros..3 cool white and 3 warm white as I've said already. Would it be to my advantage to go buy a 400w MH or can I just stick with the flouros. I think that may be why my shit isn't growing, but I have no experience, so I have no clue.

You've got to work on getting the ph down a bit.7+ ph is a little high.Could most definitely be reason for lack of growth.Yes a 400w MH would increse growth.The flours are fine though for veg,just don't expect the growth you would with a metal halde...IMHO..PEACE..

well, You are going to harvest MUCH more with a 400watter (doesnt have to be a halide).. I would never grow with floros.. The bud sizes are supersmall which means yeild is superlow... And for the amount of time it takes, i dont feel it would be worth it. www.alternativegarden.com has a complete 400watt setup for 159.99 .. You can go to www.thcbc.com and get one for cheaper but you have to buy a reflector seperate and build a ballast (box with the lights components in it). GL!

Hold off on the MH or HPS tillt hey hit veg. Give them about another 2 weeks under fluro's then slowly introduce them to a MH if thats what you choose to do.
I used HPS and Fluro's from the conception. I started the HID 3 ft above and did not start lowering it until a week ago or so. I noticed drastic curling up of the leaves a sign of too much light too fast.. but they adjusted in time.
