Hey,

Right now I am using 4 x 58w fluorescent tube lights.

I have a 600w HPS light that I haven't been able to put up yet.

Would it be worth switching to it when I have about a month of flowering left?

Would my yield overall be better than if I just used the tube lights?

-Thanks

You will certainly benefit from more resin production. You should see the buds fatten up some.

Your buds will mature in the last month so I say do it.

I have fallen in love with the 600 watt systems. I started with a 400 watt for 2 plants with great results. Now that I have seen the results of 600, well it is like night and day. You should be happy with the results.

One thing to consider with the HPS is heat. The bulbs get hot so plan out how you will ventilate. My tent with open reflector and 600 watts cools fine with about 300 cfm vented to attic..
