Best time to increase wattage for flower?

[MedicalMike420]

I just switched over should I turn the lights up now? Or in two weeks when I put the hps bulbs in? Thanks

Hell yeah crank it up, of coarse I don't know how big your plants are or the wattage of the bulb or temps but its not important.

So I should do it now? I have a stuffed room. I just wasn't sure when the best time to increase was

Some people leave it turned down for a week or 2 at the beginning of flower, I go one week at 75% then 100 until a week before harvest when I go to 75 again in an effort to preserve trichomes. I don't know that the late dimming helps or not, but I don't think it could hurt. Also, as far as I know the bulb swap generally happens at the same time as the swith to 12-12.
