If I have a window with a good amount of light entering everyday is it sufficient for the plants?

Window light is good for veg, especially if it receives direct sunlight for a good amount of time during the day. However, I don't know if it will suffice for flower.

Grow Light Advice
Helloo growmies! I've got a question.. I need a new light for vegging (only) in a 80x80cm tent. I am thinking of eather the LIGHTWAVE T5HO 60 CM (48W) or MarsHydro TS 600 (100W) Has some one experience with those lights? Is it worth spending double on electricity with the MH?

Lower lighting at switch to 12/12?
Do you typically want to lower your lighting when you switch to 12/12? I'm a little confused about what is meant when they say to have a 12" light distance for flowering and 18" for veg. Does that mean lower to 12" at the switch to 12/12, or just maintain a min 12" distance?

Invert light/dark during a grow
For veg period is better if I start with light on in the day, and off in the night, but for bloom period it will be too cold, can I invert light/dark during a grow? I will have light on in night and light off in the day.. does the plant have any problems if I do that?

Lowering light
Should I lower my lights and decrease the intensity to get better penetration or keep them the same height and increase intensity? (These are auto flowers about 50 days old getting towards the end of flower)

Veg/Bloom switch
My plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout. Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

Is the light far enough away?
Id like to make sure I'm not wrong in positioning the TS600 60cm above the rockwool cubes for germination.

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?
My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!

Time lapse under HID lighting
How do people do time lapse with hid lighting? Do I need to set timers to turn off hid, turn on fluorescent and then take the picture? Is there a filter I could buy that eliminates the horizontal scanning lines?

Trying to get setup right
I know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plant

Too early to turn up the dimmible LED light on my seedling?
Unsure if it's too early to turn my light up just yet or wait till more leaves are growing. Currently at 25% (10,000 lux aprox.) using the dimmer for a 120w LED at 20 inches from seedling. Thanks in advance.
