Hello.. I am 3 week into bloom on some BBCheese and all is looking great. On Monday, I will recieve a 600w HPS ballast that will replace the 400w one in the cab now that runs in a cool tube. I'm thinking the plants will be happy, no? More lumens. BUt... I also have a Hydrofarms hood (6" air cooled same as CT) but it doesn't fit into the box I'm building.. I think the CT will work in the smaller (new) box. I'd like to switch them. Will the plants care about the redistribution of light with the new hood? This sounds like a stupid question (even to me) but this far in; I'm still new and do not want to overlook anything.. call me stupid but what do you think? Thanks

The cool tube doesn't have the best light distribution but I would think switching to the 600 watt would be a good idea. Its an extra 40,000 lumens! Good luck with your grow!

I made the switch to 600w 56 days into grow 21 days into bloom.. Easily the most productive move I've made , installing water chiller and room AC was good for the girls but 600w has given them a 'hard-on".. but girls don't get the woody. The stretch had stoped.. put 600w and they took off again for another 2 inches. Temps up 3-4 degrees over the 400w.

Here you go... BBCheese at day 30 bloom.. I'm not very good a taking pictures so ya gotta use ure imagination a little.. but they look great... Like I said I had another little 2-3 inch spurt when I put the 600w in and with 21 day veg I'm running out of head room but it will be a bumper crop! Good luck, growell!
