Veggin under CFLs....when to introduce to HPS

[thewhitelotus]

quick rundown: i have 2 4 week old ladies under (7) 26w 5000k CFLs in 1 gal pots. Ive FIM'd each one once getting 4 shoots on one and 3 on the other and these things are becoming insanely bushy at around 8 or 9 nodes. I am planning on putting them into their large 5 gal pots in the next day or so..

I was curious if i should continue to veg under the CFLs solely or introduce them to the 250wHPS and use the both the CFLs and HPS to veg for a few weeks before flippin to 12/12.

Any input is appreciated!

I would add in the HPS and let them get used to it/veg for a bit and when they get to be ~1/2 the size you want them to finish, flip them to 12/12. Have you ran the HPS to see if the grow environment stays within safe specs (temp/humidity)?

yeah, the space will be larger when moving them to the HPS and also exhaust and intake rates increase. also have another osc. fan ill be using

You should move them over to the HPS they will get bigger faster under the HPS.Just use a some extra distance the first few days so they can adjust. If I had an HPS and I wasen't flowering anything under it I would veg with it It goes much quicker in my experiance.
