I've been growing for about 6 months and its going pretty well I have a few questions.
1. I have a 600watt interlux bulb ballistic set at 300w in a 2x2 tent is that to much?
2. Does anyone know how long Buddha Passion flowers for and Atomic northern lights to flower? My Buddha is two weeks into flowering and Buddha is 3.

dimming ur ballasts shorten there life is what ive read but I have my 600 at 75% power. ive chopped girls on day 56 from the day I go 12/12 and some have gone 74 days. just check trychs

What is super lumens on the ballistic used for?

How are your temps? If your plants have been fine at that intensity for this long, I'm sure they'll be just fine. The only time I'd really be concerned with blasting them would be in the very early stages of development.

Temps daytime around 85-90 night around 60-65.so what you are saying is you wouldn't refer using it in early stages?

I usually shoot for 76 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and a decrease of no more than around 10-12 degrees or so during lights out (most indoor grow temps are fine during lights off). Although those temps may be optimal for most situations, they aren't always easily achievable without sacrificing light output. I've ridden through a few grows with the same temps you currently run and have been fine.
The main difference in lighting intensity in the early stage of life is distance from bulb(s).

Much needed advice Casper9 they should be fine then? Reason I have at these temps is because I heard higher light output and temp can cause buds to grow faster and become denser? Was I mislead?
