    Interrupting Light During Lights On Period.

    Hi, I was wondering if turning off the 600 HPS during lights on would effect growth negatively, or as negatively, as during the dark period. Reason here is, it would be better stealth wise for me to just turn off the grow light and work on the plants with normal house lighting. Maybe up to 30...
