i would do it a bit differently:
run it for all of veg and first 2 weeks of bloom until stretch is over

alot of growers even switch back to MH for the last 2 weeks of bloom to add more trichomes from the UV in MH. maybe try that out too.

Interesting...I would give that a go....and use what when flowering?

FYI I have that same Ushio 600W Opti Blue in my veg now and that is what I will be staying with. The growth is more compact like you would see under a 6500K T5 :hump:

if you have wall to wall plants in the 4x4, a 1000 hps and good air cooled reflector would cover it better. but a 600 would work fine.

right makes sense since I got the equipment...I would consider bumping up to 1000...prolly around $300-$350 added expense for bulb and ballast..if the out come would be noticeably better...then for next grow do straight 1000w...am planning another tent or box soon also so can use the 600 ballast for that....just thinking....thanks for helping I know the questions are a little stupid
