They need very little light while they're rooting - when they have fully rooted you can then whack them under stronger lighting.

or you could try and get youself a metal halide bulb, just for the vegging mind.
then bang your hps back in when ya go 12/12. check ya ballast can take a m/h first tho (dont think ya can just change bulbs in some)
good luck with grow mate

If their well rooted mate their ready to go... I mean grow. You can keep the light slightly further away from them than you normally would for the first day or two to let them settle in. 908

How well are they rooted? Its 2ft away for a 600w mate to grow normally so 3ft for a day or two would seem fine then lower it to 2ft away.If their not FULLY rooted keep that 600 up off them. 908

they have got a root system- they were in tiny sedling pots
i repotted them last nite into 4 inch pots
should i wait till they root these pots out before lowering light
if so should i repot again b4 lowering light

Sounds like they need to root into the 4inches at least mate so yeah if you havent got a smaller light keep it up off em. 908
