What are the issues that I should look for when going from 24/0 under 6500k florescent tubes to 12/12 under 600w HPS? Should I go to 18/6 for a week to reduce the stress? Thanks for you input.

When I move from fluro to hps, I start w/HPS lights pretty far away, then lower them daily until I find my good spot. IMO, gives the plants a few days to adjust to the hotter lighting.

I do 24/0 straight to 12/12, no 18/6, personally.
Expect some stretching until budding is established. (1-3 weeks)
