How much stress

Ok let me explain
about a week ago my m/h ballast went out and I had to do something for light. Not having time to get a new ballast right away i went to lowes and got 4 flous ott-lite grow tubes. I have a new ballast on the way now and my questions is. If I put the m/h light back on what kind of stress am I putting on my plants. Should I be worried about herrmies and that kind of thing?

doudtful. as long as you are still in veg and you didnt change the cycle, just the "amount" of light, you should be fine. I dont think it will hurt them. Where you would see problems is if you interrupted the dark period with light. Just my .02 though GL Pe@ce

You'll be fine you just wont have a very fast growth rate!

HERMIES START WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OUT.YOUR CONFUSING THE PLANT THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON AGAIN WHEN THERE REALLY NOT!

As long as you didn't mess up the photo period you should be fine. Oh, and you don't have to post duplicate topics:
