AF Easy Ryder questions

Hello everyone! I recently got some easy ryder seeds and wondering if I can start them under a 125 watt flouro then move them to an 400 watt HPS without having any issues? How long should they be under the flouro before moving them? I am using a BC Bloombox. For those not familiar with the bloombox it was originally a drip system but I have changed it to be just a bubbler with 6 4" round air stones on a hydrofarm air pump in the rez. I was planning on starting them in rapid rooters in 3" net pots under the flouro then moving them to the flowering chamber in the same net pots.

Any information is much appreciated since this is my first go with autoflowers.

I start with fluoros for 1 week...then 600watt HPS three and one half ft. from plants..bringing a little closer each day. Use back of hand trick to test for heat..1/4 strength nutes after 10 days...Hearty plants!!! One girl was exceptionally nice... 80 grams dried w/5 main colas...A beautiful sight!!! No topping just lucky!!! Been averaging 1 1/2 to 2oz per plant

wow thats a good yield...I only have a 400 watt HPS. I also use a ceramic metal halide in that ballast. I thought of starting them on the flouro for a couple weeks then switch to the CMH for a few weeks then finish them under the HPS. How tall did yours get? The light in the bloombox is at a fixed height and heat has not been a problem.
