I currently am in week 4 of flowering. I have read many times that running both MH and HPS at the same time is optimal for plant growth through the plant's entire cycle. I have a 400W HPS bulb running to emit the red spectrum right now that I was considering swapping out with my other metal hailide bulb that I started with during veg. My question is: would switching back to a metal hailide bulb at week 4 in flowering do more harm than good or could it possibly make the buds more compact? - something I have also read.

Thanks for your input.
