hey all i just bought a 600w hps system and im 6 weeks into flower...would i benefit anything by switching from my 400 to my 600 at this stage?
 
U can do a test and see if it will make a difference ,or wait till next grow I'd still use that 400w for vegative growth with a few cfls to get maximum light

What strain are you running? If it's a 9-10 week finisher i'd switch to the 600. It will help to bulk up those colas.

thanks for the replies im running 6 different strains but there all around a 9 week finishing but i like to leave them an extra week.. il just have to watch the temps with the 600 until my cooltube comes...il be mounting the cooltube to my adjustawing reflector for max light coverage with little heat..

it was a nice smoke.. started as a euphoric high that continued until i was 2 stoned to move lol... ifound if i was drawing or building model cars it would make me more creative...really nice smoke... only negative thing to say about it is that theres a phenotype that is very leafy with very little bud or thc.. this is a pic of tha pheno at 9 weeks flowering

my tent is 1.6m l x 0.6m w x 1.6m h ... i fink if i had my 400 and the 600 the heat would be too much..is 1000w overkill for my grow area?
