When you see bud-set, that is the time to switch to HPS. Normally with a non-auto plant, you switch to HPS at some point bewteen week 0 and 3 of flower, depending on whether you are trying to control stretch.

It's actually been about 2 weeks since this picture was taken. So in total, about 35 days between the 2 photos I think. It's just fine, and it's only getting 12 hours of light. But you get the idea of where it was when I switched and where it is now. At the time I never stopped to think about when I should have switched it, it didn't have a whole lot of say, it was the lone auto-flower red-headed step child in my room. I even ran outta water once and fed it with all runoff.
I think they are pretty tuff though is what I was getting at. Good luck with yours, hope it turns out well for you, I know I am pleasantly surprised by mine.:jointsmile:
