Hi all
This is my first time using a 400w HP's. I have my tent in my bedroom because that is the only place I can fit it, but the noise from the fan drives me crazy, I am growing sweet tooth auto under 24/0 (has always been OK before), so what I have been doing is having my HP's on until I go to sleep, switching to CFLs and back to the HP's when I wake up, would this method cause any stress to my mj? I know yields might be effected a bit. But my only concern is keeping her stress free. Thanks for reading.

The girls should deal with the switch in light type just fine.
Have you considered giving them a dark period? Plants need rest too!

Thanks for the reply a guys, for a auto 24/0 is fine, all of my autos have been grown under that schedule with no problems.big was just worried a major change in light intencity would cause stress. And just a quick F.Y.I in case you are giving anyone else a hand, Barney's farm have a really bad batch of sweet tooth autos ATM, I brought a pack of 10 and not one split. So I went to another source and brought another pack and only 2 made it, one is in my tent now and the other sprouted but the first little leafs didn't unfold,so iI pulled it. Now left with one plant for the price of 20 (not a happy bunny). Thanks again for the replys

Next time you get a seed shell stuck mist it with water so it can soften up and the cotys can push it off. I made that same mistake that's why in telling you this.

Thanks for the replays. I guess I just must of had my weekly dose of bad luck. Lol. I know my yeild is going to be sliced. But every night when I switch to CFLs I am bringing out all I got. I have in total 32 cfls
