From what I read it should increase trich production and force her to start using up sugar/starch reserves in her leaves before harvest

I do not agree with this method. They need lots of nutrient for big frosty flowers.
Do not starve a plant when they most need it.
Look at pics below.... still green fan leaves.

She has plenty of nutrients, in her reserves. This way she should use em up rather than them breaking down during drying and curing.
Because she cant take up water she 'should' use this energy to try protect herself from drying out by producing more trichs.

Bulbs are strange.
What i have noticed is some like to be matched with the ballast. Cheap ballast cheap bulb.
Lumantec ballast would flicker with cheap bulbs so i now use only thier 600W dual spec.
They last forever and run them at any volage no probs.
Dont bother with MH as dual specs are very good now.
Grolux was great for the cheap ballast.
