No it will not

 

[Ky420123]

Thank you as im getting ready to flip them today and was very concerned that i might burn them with the increase in light

No it won't, just harden off the plants first as they will have more IR over them.

What do you mean by harden off? Is that the dark peroid before flower? Ive had them sitting for almost 24 hrs in dark getting them ready for there flip

Make sure they're legit and not little bitch ass bitches that will fall over at the first sign of stress. Or literally harden them up with silica.

so long as you don`t burn them with the hps they`ll be fine

I would start it high and move it lower in a week or 2

Harden off meaning start with the light high so your plants have a bit of time to adjust. Same thing going from cfl to hps or hps to the sun...

Can you move the sun a bit closer ? I have some c99`s outside that need a bit more heat, lol

Lol yes you can actually, never thought of that... Where im from its not-uncommon for certain indica doms to bleach under our sun regardless of how many weeks you keep them in the "half shade/shade" a UV index of 7-9 is considered low here 10-11 avg and 11-13 summer

most sativas do really really good out here where most indicas would do better away from the equator.

Mmm , cindy 99..... Great smoke

Tell me about it got 1000 of them from female seeds like 2 years ago paid like 50 euro cents a bean so like £4 a 10 pack

There were ment to be "bgrade" 60% germination, ha 9 to 10 out of 10 pop every time and they all smell and bud the same

Only problem is some people seem to hate the smell and taste, like its too fruity for them or something I kinda want to slap them but means more for me

just be very careful of your temps, HPS are a lot hotter than LED's generally. Keep the light farther away than you think they need until you see how the plants react then bring light closer.
