Switching from generic HPS to Hortilux Eye mid flower okay?

[aquanaut]

I'm 19 days into flowering and just got a great deal on a Hortilux Eye Super HPS.

Will switching mid flower cause any stress? I know the Hortilux has more blue.. didn't want the plants to think they are re-vegging or such.

:hippy:

watch the new growth, closely...you may need to adjust the height...don't burn or light bleach the tops or anything...:smokin:

better too far than too close...enjoy your grow..:thumbsup:

I light bleached these puppies at 3 weeks 12/12 flowering and they never recovered......the fan leaves all died by 6 weeks; even though the buds were unaffected? ..there was no more growth...go figure? It was a death sentence.

MH and CMH bulbs can do this. HPS not so much. It was a matter of being TOO close!

@dutch - what wattage and how close were your lights? air cooled?

trying to figure out how close I can get away with my 400w cool tube

i mean i can keep my hands pretty much a few inches from the tube but that's awfully close--
