Im no electrition.
but i think its metal halide that needs the ignitor and the hps that doesnt.
i think its cool to run hps off a metal halide ballast but not the other way arou d
as said no electrition dont take it as gospel

Ok so I managed to find a very affordable dealership that stocked 250W hps bulbs and I've gone and ordered one, supposedly arriving tomorrow, also ordered Bio-Bloom and a new PH tester arriving by the weekend so we're on track and should be flowering soon 
Photo's coming soon

So after waiting around most of the day I got the call at the last minute to come and pick up my newly arrived hps bulb 
I then turned my MH off, let it cool down and took it out to see if the hps fits into the same socket and whether it would actually work on the ballast...
Moment of truth...
BOOMSHAKALAKA!
Going 12/12 from tomorrow

Ok so it's been quiet around here lately, my apologies! Things are well on their way 9 days into the 12/12 schedule, all 3 have turned out female 
stoked! And some are forming some nice looking budding sites. Trying to lend a decent camera so I can take some good pictures, hopefully will have some up by tomorrow.
Other than that, all is good in the hood

Looking a little droopy from a recent watering and still some yellowing but otherwise bud sites are coming along!

Thanks G grower! I was hoping to grow a Sativa at some point but I seem to have gotten lucky out of that bag seed

So a few questions..
Q1: I've clearly still got some deficiencies to deal with, namely nitrogen def by the looks of it. I have been watering with 2.5ml of bio bizz - biobloom(NPK 2-6-3.5) to 1.5l of water with a ph of 6.6. At the moment, watering about 1-2/week, I water based on when my girls start looking a little thirsty. So do I need to feed them more nitrogen?
Q2: My pots are about 2litre, I get runoff after watering with as little as 200ml of mix, and the runoff measures 6.6 ph, I'm concerned because that seems like a rather small amount of water going in to achieve runoff. Worried that my watering mix is almost running straight through my soil and I'm reading the ph of my mix again instead of getting a good idea of the soil ph. But maybe I'm fretting too much, any idea's?
Q3: Is it too late to do a little LST'ing? I want to even out my canopy a little

Looks like your suffering from some root lock my friend. Don't fret. Hit them with a flush. Try to get the water to around 6.0 or 6.2. Do this for the next few waterings and she should snap back. Don't do a bunch of LST to it, not while it's shocked like that. Might not come out of it

Thanks for the feedback 
Do you think it's necessary for me to re pot them into bigger pots? If so, would I first re pot, then flush?

Flush them once or twice. If its nutrient lock you don't want to give them the fresh nutes of fresh soil. See if them look better after 1 flush, if there is any improvement hit her again with fresh water. But you gotta wait until she's completely dry in between waterings. Over watering isn't good for the roots, it drowns them.

Going to flush tomorrow. Would flushing a 2litre pot with 2litres of ph'd water be a sufficient flush?
Should be

So decided to go fishing this morning and after throwing in the towel eventually I came across this little one while walking back. It was growing out from under a concrete drain pipe.
Decided it was meant to be and adopted the little one! Been wanting to put my new found knowledge to use on a second grow but have been struggling to germinate with bag seed, now I can skip that all together
Hopefully it recovers, if it does I'll start a separate journal for it.
