So I am super excited did a bunch of research built the system and considered every factor I have come across. I am now into Week 3 from when my seeds popped and I am just sick of seeing them small. I don't understand where I am going wrong

Bad idea?
Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

2x viperspectra xs 1500 150watt ? Does the power of 2 lamps add up together?
Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?
Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?

Should I lower my light during flowering?
I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.

Light source change stress?
Can changing light source cause stress to your plant? Yesterday I changed from a CFL to a 150w Mars Hydro LED and this morning she looked a bit "sad". I took the photo straight after watering hence the damp soil.

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?
