Mh to Hps

Hi masters. i have 6 autoflowering plants in my 80*80*180 cm tent. Five of them popped up around same times but one of them was runt and i replaced it about 15 days later. First five started to flower but the last one is still 20 days behind. The thing is i use 600 w 6400 k mh for veg and 600 w 2000k hps for flowering. I will have to switch the lamp to hps soon. I only have one tent for growing and drying so i must do all the plants at once . Do you think my 6th plant will still grow under 2000 k hps ? Thanks

@Wattzzup why dont you help instead of laughing man.

That tiny plant looks funny in there with all those bigger plants.

I would keep the seedling as far away (in the corner etc) as possible.

it was in the corner but it streched to the side thats why i put it under the light. Do you think it will keep growing after i switch the lamp to hps . Im nervous because my hps is 2000k.

Bulb colour spec aside. That plant is going to struggle for light under those bigger plants. Probably not produce much. Also won’t be done when your other autos are.

20 days in the life of a auto is a lot.
You could stick it on a bucket to get to to canopy level.

IMHO I would cull the little one and give more space to the nice healthy autos you have. The extra procuction you will see with more space for your existing autos will more then off set what that little guy is ever going to give you.

I'd expect your seedling to stretch considerably under hps, you can get a sylvania growlux that has an ajusted blue spectrum, they're widely used start to finish but imo still not as good as mh for node spacing and in the 1st 3/4 weeks for stretching, let your main crop get over the stretch then swap bulbs.
I'd leave the seedling to it own devices and concentrate on the main crop.

I tossed it and opened more space for the others. Thank you for your helps its probably the best thing to do.

it was a bad idea to change my breeder. Last time i did very well in the same space with 6 plants 290 g dry. This time seeds were old i think . 3/10 never poped in. one of them was runt. what a waste...

Super noob here and have never grown autos, but quick question. How do you know when to switch to hps lights in autos. I assume when you see the first signs of flowering right?

Usually after stretch. So maybe 2 weeks after flowering.
