Hi fellas,
Thank you for your help !!!!!! I have a grow entering its last 4 weeks or so. I have 8 plants in a 2.6m2 tent. I have a 600w hps in a soil grow. I have just bought a 200 watt CFL flower light and I was going to stick it in to give them a boost for the last 4-6 weeks. They are autos so will adding this new light stress them at all? Again, thanks for your help :)

Indoor could always use more light. Only issues would be affect on grow enviornment, heat, but cfl's don't give off a lot.

This was from a week or more ago. They have 4-6 weeks of flowering. I am just nervous about putting an additional light in incase I freak any of them out. I may b over thinking this but I thought I would ask you fellas for some wisdom :)

The dude abides. haha no problem man . IMO lighting is the greatest limiting factor in indoor grows we can't equal the sun, any extra lumns you get in there will be put to good use immediately.

Thanks 3G Labs, I will stick in the 200watts straight away then! Thanks for your time :)

From the view in your picture
Your "hps" light looks like its a bit too far from your canopy...
Moving it closer will get more light to your plants which means increased growth rate.

I would drop that hps about 1 foot maybe even 18 inches...

I was going to mention that earlier. Don't know if you have the light lifted for pics but CannaBeans is right, you could drop that closer, give those ladies all the lumens. Lumens fall by half after a about 1 1/2 feet distance, below and to the side of the bulbs.
