Hello Jake :) What would happen ? ....................... you know I haven't a clue :o

I have had to keep swopping from HPS to MH during flowering on the last grow, inorder to try and combat a droopy leaves problem and all I noticed was looser buds and hermies :o
I'm not sure if the hermies were anything to do with swopping bulbs or not ???

love mand xxx:)

I don't think swapping bulbs would be enough stress to cause the plant to go hermie

From what I know about growing, DONT MESS WITH THE LIGHTING! I've never had nothing but bad luck messing with the lighting, it made my first indoor plant stop growing all together. it was still alive, but grew no more, when i flowered it, it took twice as long as it should have, and the weed sucked! i re-veged the same plant, and it did alot better the second time around, but i learned if you start with one light, switch it off, and switch it again and again, your gonna be pissed at the results.

changing bulbs often isn't going to do anything...neither is 6/6...except cause the plant to start to veg. again or hermie or both...K.
