well i think you have too put em under that 400w as soon as you start flower....your in a unique situation cause you just put them under floros after starting with the 400....if u have aheat issue fix that....and then put it under the hps....it doesnt really matter when you put the 400 on them(in your case)..... my thing is its not good to put seedling under them....there already getting pretty big.....it looks like you could wait another week before going back....once the light isnt touching the plant....under the t5....then put it back in..... or u could wait till there 1 ft tall...lets see what bonz thinks....

you know mabee because the light is less now the plant needs less nutes because the lack of light means lack of growth. back of on the nutes
760 ppm is kind of at my high end of veg for ppm, but i`m in soil

I am flushing them right now...maybe I am flooding to often? I am going to flower in a couple of days with the 430 HPS..then I will start my next veg under the fluoros and for 24 hrs. a day...and flood 4 times in the same period. Thanks for the info you two...

Ok..here they are at 3 days into flower..Ive been keeping the ph at around 5.8-5.9...started the ppms at 860 and have dropped them due to rising ppms and using water...they are now at 730ppms.I believe my setup does a little better not running high ppms and just keeping a medium nute count..here are the pics..they are a foot tall..and of course the one is soil is my snow white mum..:weed:

give it a couple weeks then it will be into the agressive flower stage and will handle higher ppm`s.
this waiting stage here i call my transitional phase, still using veg nute also.
