Howdy cmdrhemp,
It's the best feeling ain't it? 2 1/2 ozs ya didn't have to buy! And you're right about the HPS during flower. I'm using one from start to finish on my 2nd grow and so far, so good! Have ya tried 24 hours of light during veg? I started flowering a little early (29 days of veg) with my 430 Son Agro, for 2 reasons...they grew like chubby bonzais at 24/7 with plenty of side growth...and the light was keepin' me up at night! I have to keep my door open while the lites are on 'cause of heat buildup.
Also, from what I've read, tapering down from 12/12 (I presume down to 10-8 hours of light) will decrease yield. They say it's best to wait it out.
Keep up the good work, it's now time to enjoy!
