Any suggestions? Would I benefit if I switched my lights just to bloom at this point. Not all the plants are the same with growth .

I would not recommend it. If you turn off the grow switch, you will lower the wattage output. Less watts, less yield.

Hi @Sider79! I would switch to bloom-only mode when the buds have finished to fatten up, and when the plant is in the process of trichomes maturation. This way you ensure a maximum yield (more watts usually means more grams) and a good spectrum for the last days. Hope this makes sense, let us know what's your choice and what's the result! Happy growing 👊

No I wouldn't I would leave both switches on till harvest. The more power you have behind your light. The more light those plants have to receive and drive those buds to the max. Those switches are mainly to control growth. So if you want shorter more compact plant use the veg switch till week 3 of flowering then turn both switches on till harvest. Now if you need them to stretch I would use both switches from first day of flower.
