This week we started to experience some issues. Looked like the plants were burning a bit so I raised the light to sit at 36 inches now and increased the power to 400w. The increase in power has raised the heat in the tent so I've been opening more bottom vents to allow more cool air to flow in. Will need to monitor the situation going forward. Also switched out the oscillating fan for my trusty clip fan. One of the girls was blowing so hard she was LSTing herself to stay away from the fan. Knew at this point it was time for a swap. Since these changes the girls have been loving life and I continue to just add water. Going to need to pick up some organic fertilizer for flower though. Will continue to keep this updated. Keep it growing GD!

So I've got a dimmable ballast on this light and am currently set at 400w. When would you recommend to increase the power to 600w?

atm everything looks fine.... you are going to need your extra 200 watts for the Flowering stage. Using it before? i see no big need. Look how she develops and always shows a good internodial distance. I dont know how big your growspace is but 400 watts HID should be enough for a growingspace like 2x3 feet..... so keep your girlin your eye.. if she start to grow to dense with a short internodial distance dimm the power down/ rise the lights. If flowers has appeared around week 2 of flowering stage you can give all your wattage on her, shes strong enough then

Hi @HolySmoke! I like to dim my driver to the max as soon as my plants enter the preflowering stage. If you have only 1 or 2 plants in here, there's no need for more than 400w during the veg stage, but it's all about the quality of your light/spectrum and the way you manage the plant-to-lamp distance. I would keep it in 400w mode until you trigger the flowering stage. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing! ๐Ÿ‘Š

@Stick, Thanks, this is my first grow using MH/HPS and it's extremely difficult to find information like light distance and such. Appreciate your help!
