switching back and forth from t5 HO to halide....

So I have kinda of a staggered growing setup. I t5 HO until they are about 16" and then put them into flower in a tent with a halide for a month or so then I flower. Occassionally, the schedule is such where I have nothing goin on in the tent. Is it damaging or stressful to plants to say, put have them under a t5 for a month...maybe then put it under the halide for a couple weeks...then maybe back under the t5 while I flower other plants? Thx in advance.
 
im confused to what you are sayin but if i was you ihd just start them under the t5s for around two weeks then throw them under the metal halide to finish them up
 
They will live for sure. Will they be getting max light penetration? Probably not, especially if you have a bunch of them shoved in there.
 
I switch back from different lights - I advise against it. Looks like the plant gets confused and goes in/out of flowing. At least it seems this way by the mutated leaves. I was going from HPS to fluorescent lighting.

Also, in previous grows, I tried as well and plants went hermie. Cant say it from lighting but maybe :/
