I started off with seeds and have since transplanted them into their pots with soil. I have a 1000W HPS unit but have it dimmed to 600 to start out. The bulb is around 3 feet from the buds. This is the start of the second week in soil. I have everything in a 5 x 5 tent.
I have been running the lights at 24 hours. I want to try the gas lantern routine. I have programmed my timer for 12 hours on, 5.5 off, 1 hour on and then another 5.5 off. At what point should I switch the ballast to the full 1000W? and how far should the bulb be from the plants at that point?
Thanks!
