Should I turn my lights up now I just switched over? Or should I turn them up in two weeks when I put the hps in

I was just asking what the best time to increase it is, I'm already increasing it regardless it's 1900 at full strength

If youre running a night light, yes. Come on, give us some other information... if you are running a 1K HPS in a 3x3ft tent then, no. Typically I do not increase wattage... maybe I'm doing it wrong.

1900? watts or PPMs? "full strength" leads me to believe PPMs not watts. You asked about watts. If you are at 1900 watts, sorry for the misinterpretation.

Yes
Yes
Yes 1900 watts. They are dimmable ballasts. By full strength I meant turning the dial to 100% on the ballast

1900ppm! Wokka.
A little starting info helps.
I can only assume you are running a mh conversion to Hps with a mh in place at the moment.
What has more watts/lumens?
Again I can only assume that you are using the MH first few weeks of bloom to reduce stretch.
Am I close?

MH HPS
MH HPS
I'm using metal halide. Switching to hps. I have a 300 watt appolo LED, a 600 watt Apollo mh/hps, 1000 watt quantum II with xtrasun 64 hood.
The metal halide have been dimmed. I turned them up to 75% today maybe I'll leave it there a week or something before going all the way on.
I don't have the HPS bulbs yet I was gunna order some eye hortilux. My caregiver suggested I use MH first two weeks so that's just what I do also

By 2 weeks I would have it at 100% assuming you can control the heat!
