    Default Answered: I need help with tips on what to do since switching from 120w CFL to a 400w HPS

    Six hours ago i switched from using 120w cfl to using a 400w hps with hood. Also it is only two little plants about 20 days into flower. Their about 2 feet tall 1 1/2 feet wide id say. I just want tips on what to expect from the change and what if anything i will need to do or change. And also wandering if i could or should add the other 120w cfls for side penetration or if i should just add another 400w hps or a 400w MH i also have that i could add. Lemme know what you guys think your advice is much appreciated

  2. "yeaa bin off the cfl now an bang mh in there, i prefer using mh then swapping to hps flower bulb

    i find mh will give you lusher greener growth with tighter nodes, plus running it during the 1st two week of flipping to 12,12 will help reduce stretch

    since your already 20 days in to flower then i probs would be using the hps flower bulb, little pic would help decide though "

    Op my experience with adding cfl's is this - dont bother....if you a clumsy ass stoner like me then you may forget about the cfl and we all know how easy they break. no point imo, 400 will grow those 2 no drama
