Only do what is best for you sock. It is good to know all your options though.

Peace.

Interesting thoughts. I have not seen this in the plants I now have in flower, nothing beyond the usual couple of days where they kind of have that "What the Hell happened?" look to them... Then they get their booties in gear pronto (at least I hope they do..LOL)

I liked vegging under the 600 conversion, but the heat this time of year is a biatch to manage in there, and the T-5's are getting it done and saving me some $$ in the process.

light movers are tricky jangel, as they way too often break down or come crashing down - rather have 2 400-600W lights for the same money and be better off with those. you know, what moves will break and what can break will do so

You are right green. Thanks for that. I just don't know about the 2 lights. My flowering room is only 7.8 h X 4 w X 5.5 ft deep. Can't fit 2 lights in there. But one 600 HPS would work well I think. Next year.
