you would think but even at 3 foot a 1k bulb to a fresh clone still pretty intense id still put it under a smaller light if he does Id almost bet it will respond and recover a lot faster from that transplant shock

I can understand what your saying, i am thinking its a shock from transplant and a little dry, the pic looked almost like the sahara to me. Ive have put many many of my plants from cloner under a 1k hps at 2.5'-3' up....but every plant and strain and such has some diffrent genetics.

From eye hortilux FAQ

Is it okay to use a 1000w hps bulb with a 1000w ballast dimmed to a 750w or 600 setting?

We do not recommend dimming HID lamps. HID lamps will operate when dimmed but the spectral quality of the lamp will change in a negative way.

HID lamps are designed to operate at a specific wattage. When you flip the switch, or turn the wattage dial, you are reducing the operating wattage of your lamp. This reduces the temperature inside the lamp and causes some of the chemical reactions inside the lamp to stop. This has a dramatic and negative impact on the quality of the light being produced by your lamp.

If you want to reduce the power of your system we recommend using a lower wattage lamp and operating it at its proper wattage. This way you can reduce power without sacrificing the quality of your spectrum and ultimately the quality of your plants.

Is Running your 1000watts super hps on 750watts bad For the bulb. Does the spectrum Change.what about running at 500watts

We do not recommend running any wattage lamp at a lower or higher wattage setting.

By reducing the wattage to the lamp you will affect the quality of the spectrum which in turn will affect the quality of plant growth.

By increasing the wattage to the lamp you will shorten the life of the lamp significantly.

Always operate your HID grow lamps at their rated wattage for reliable performance.
