I have never done any of those. Same bulb, same height, same intensity. I have never seen any proof that would support more trichrome production by changing those factors.
Anybody do any testing on these factors?

I also heard the plants enjoy the more blue spectrum the last couple/few weeks.
AND... it seems to me that sometimes I get frostier buds in the lower growth that has a little shade.
Thanks!
I got a 600 watt MH bulb
Should i throw it in right now?
If i throw that MH bulb in and see more frost i am going to shit my pants because my ladies are ridonculously frosty right now. I finally dialed in my Sour Amnesia's. There looking frosty as all hell and i am super stoked

ive heard you gain frost but lose weight,also from what i have read if u turn down your digi ballast u have to use a bulb of the same wattage for ex: if u dim to 600 u need to buy a 600 watt bulb
The digilux mh is so goddamn bright that I don't think you would miss any weight at all. And I have personally used my 1k hps and mh digiluxes at every power setting that the lumatek has. So 600, 750, 1000, super lumens (1130 watts or so). As it is dimmed, it will produce less lumens per watt. But you do not have to buy a 600 watt lamp if you dim it down to the 600 watt power setting.
A 1k dimmable ballast set at 600 watts uses 600 watts.
A 600 watt lamp on a 600 watt lumatek ballast, on super lumens, uses 660 watts and will produce more light and a slightly shifted color output than a 1k ballast set at 600 watts that is powering a 600 watt lamp.
i was reading that when dimming down a 1k to lets say 400 or 600 it will also change the spectrum.I have dimmed the 1k down myself but will be looking into this further.

How about using a LED in the last couple weeks? Think this will have the same effect?
