Shock from switching HPS to LED.

Got new LEDs coming this way with some ladies already vegging.. would the switch shock them too much? Or just wait until new clone cycle to use the LEDs?

Run your room 5*f hotter under the LEDs at least to minimize transition shock.
The lack of radiant heat is where the shock/change really comes from.

Thank you.

Anytime you change light source you should acclimate the plants to the new type of light gradually

i run 1000hps lights was wondering if it would be any help to run a 650 hlg led light with my hps light, sorry it's more of a question than an answer lol

If it were the olden days and you were switching from MH to HPS you wouldn't give it a second thought.

Switch them when available.

Par is par

I agree, most I might do is start a foot higher for the first day then drop the light. I take my veg plants and introduce them to flower with light cranked all the way up. I just don't drop the light I let them reach for it and get acclimated that way.

My last grow I switched from a cmh 315 to an hlg 350r. I didn’t know much about using it at the time, so I ran it full power, and started to get foxtailing, so be aware of that.
