Initiating flower sequence in 5 4 3 2 1.....

The time has finally come! I just received my 600 watt HPS bulb in the mail today and will be switching them to flower. A few questions though (of course ) I run lights off for veg 5 to 11 PM It is currently 2 PM by me. My plan is to run lights off then switch out the bulbs run lights on for 12 hours and then they will be lights off for flower from 11 AM to 11 PM. First question should I start out flower at 50 75 or 100 %? Ill still be keeping room temp at 72, water temp at 70, humidity 45, ph 5.5, and is 600 PPM good for beginning of flower?

As long as you are keeping your temps in range you should be ok with 100%

Okay cool Im running it on 100 percent about 2 feet away from the tops of my plants which are pretty big now. So question about my nutes. I will be adding 12ml per gallon of gro 6ml per gallon of bloom and 3 ml per gallon of micro. I have been told that I should be adding more micro? Also after adding this to my first rez change during flower, what should my ppms look like? about 600 to 800?

i go 5ml of each for last week of veg and continue that till i see them stop stretching. i also use 1-2ml of kool bloom and 10ml liquid karma @5.8 ph. then increase bloom to 7.5ml and drop the grow to 2.5. also discontinue karma and up kool bloom to 5ml. run that till week 5 or 6 and then drop the grow completely and reduce micro to 2.5 keeping bloom the same. then flush.

Is this for soil??? I think the OP is doing hydro.

Seems to me, IMO, that you should be using just as much BLOOM as you do GROW, if not more... I'm not sure what your ppm's will be, but when I was doing hydro, in flower I would usually have ppm's around 1100-1200, pH 5.8-6.2
