MJ,

The Dona plant had a good root system when planted on Dec 15. Unfortunately, most of the other plants did not, or were actually cuttings from my outdoor plants made on that same day and just stuck in to Grow Media. You can see a N.A.R.X plant right behind the Dona, and that one has grown about 8 inches since planting. It had a modest root ball.

I am running the 400W HPS at just 250W currently, as this mode seems to be giving off an intense amount of light (well, at least for my inexperienced eyes). So you are recommending keeping the light low to the tops of the plants? The radiation angle now is "clipping" the top of the Dona whereby the upper 6 inches is outside the illumination pattern. That is why I was about to raise the light 4 inches.
