I noticed my light maybe isn't as good as it should be. I am going to get a mars hydro ts600 in 2ish weeks. Will I be ok to swtich lights towards the end of flower without any negative effects?

If it is significantly stronger, may want to ease them into it -- if no dmmer, than with height.. works well either way.
I'd find a light with ~70-85 diodes per square foot utilizing samsung lm301b diodes (white) and a few 660nm red diodes mixed in. By doing this you'll have the efficacy and coverage. Unless you start adding CO2, this will be nearly as strong as you'd want.
one other suggestion -- overshoot a bit on diodes per sq. foot. Allows you to offset slow dim over 50-60k hours of use and maintain same exact coverage and intensity as day 1.

Which of the two options do you choose and why:
Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft
Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft.
The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setupWeek 4

Auto and regular plants in one box.I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

600w hpsWouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

Led to hight?Hi everyone.
I'm thinking that the Led Light is to high, its around 70 cm from the plants, should I lower it down up to 50/55 or leave like that until Bloom, and on Bloom put it more close?
Some more help on the grow its always appreciated.
