Does this seem right to you guys?
I can put my hand directly on the glass of my hood (600hps bulb). Its warm/semi hot. but i can leave my hand directly on the glass without it burning at all. I bought a fan to keep it all cool . but haven't even needed to instal it cuz its really not hot at all.....
I think this ipower unit maybe just has a shitty or defective bulbs? If the bulb was good it should it not be too hot to touch without a fan suckin the hot air?
I just ordered a new bulb. i hope thats what the problem is..... and not the whole ballast
The plants are doing good under it tho so far (24/0)

Nah you're good. 600w fixtures don't get super hot. I'm sure you'll need to vent it further into spring though.

if it doesn't get that hot, how close can i lower it to my plants?
if its not burning my hand on the glass can i lower it super close to the girls? like would 6inches be to too close ?
keep in mind this is in a big cool basement. So its not heating up the space much at all

Are you in veg or flower?
In veg i keep the lights 20-24" above tbe canopy. I'm not sure how close you could get them in flower. I've seen grows w/ plants 10-12" from the canopy late in flower and they were doing great. It made me wish i had thought of using 600w fixtures when i designed my flower room.
I would lower the light a little each day and see how the plants tolerate it. Some strains are going to be more sensitive than others. How close is your light anyway?

I tried the 6 inch thing but found that the plants grew to fast and would sometimes get burned.
I keep mine at 12 to 16 inches. You could keep them a 8 inches as long as you ck your growth daily .
I'm using a 1000 watt light. Don't remember what size light your using.

So i watered today with a 6.5 ph water (low low ppm) ... and checked the run off .... it was like 4.5-5 ph. So the walmart soil i grabbed (expensive stuff) was acidic im guessing.
What can I do to now? should i flush it with high ph water will that fix anything? is there anything i can do?

what brand of soil was it? Also you probably could use Ph up to bring up the ph it should be in the aquarium section of your walmart most likely next to the are air pumps or algee pellets.

i've used promix in the past ,but didn't have a Ph problem. i would use it to bring up the water to 7.5 and water over time to bring it up slowly so you don't shock the plant with a rapid ph change. (at least thats what i would try)

I flushed it good tonight.... hope it helps
I may have to take cuttings and use better soil for them. I can tell the acidy soil is hurting at least 1 of my girls, so once i get some cutts i can use a better soil

Great idea. I don't know of any good soils at Walmart.
Fox Farms / Ocean Forest has been great for me.

Shouldn't be anything wrong with Promix. The key is to test before you plant and adjust accordingly. No organic material is going to be totally consistent in characteristic.

I'm using an ultra sun 1000W HPS and MH set myself. It seems pretty decent but I haven't had experience with any other lights. 
Plants seem to dig it.
