I try to avoid blurple lights if I have to use them I get other white led bulbs around them to try and straighten the spectrum out and to answer your question about both light switches yes use both while flowering all red light you will have fluffy stretched out buds with no density to them all blue going to have rock hard popcorn buds both together gets them where they almost need to be but I'm a strong believer in full spectrum because it works best for my grows

In my homemade "rule book" just a note book and file folder full of nothing but grow information .a good light is rule number 1 for indoor growing, they cost the extra money for a good reason you're plants are light thirsty savages that need bright canopy coverage and penetration

Ya I guess if you wanna grow big, you gotta go big. Is there a certain wattage I should look for? My area is 4x4x6 which I usually never have more then 6 plants in

I was wondering if this is female or not? 20th day on 12/12 and not buds yet.

Probably sativa dominant. They usually take a while. Mine showed a single white hair after 19 days. It’s usually a sign it’s going to be a long flowering plant 12+ weeks

With a 200w output, 16" actually seems too high off the plant. My 250W MH HID can sit at about 10" without heat issues. I have my 400w MH at about 14" and everything is fine. Put your hand over the top of the plant. With the top of your hand towards your light source, does it feel warm, hot? If it is not, then find a point where you feel the heat start and then use that as your guide to setting your height.
