May the Lord's light shine upon you all.
The Lord's light? I wonder if that is more HPS or Metal Halide. :rastasmoke:


To rephrase my answer for your edification, it depends on many factors, not the least of which is what you expect out of your yields. Sure, you will get something if you start to flower at the 5th or 6th node but it's going to be a small yield and probably not worth all the time and money spent. It may help for you to tell us how much space you have to work with and what kind of lights you plan to use on what strain.

If you want some ideas with photos and details, look in the grow logs. Your question does not have such a cut and dried answer.
