Ok I have 4 plants in Flower stage and have been grown 2 months under T5 18/6 and then changed to 12/12 for 2 weeks under the T5. They started budding great. Well 5 days ago change to a 600 watt HPS and built a 4'x4' area and it seems like they stopped doing anything. They look health just no change. Are they just confused and will start growing again?
 
When plants are first put into 12/12 they spend about 2 weeks adjusting to the 12 hour light and do their stretch during this period. After that, they start working on the buds. It may seem that they haven't done much in the past few days, but they are probably just going in the budding stage.

If the temps are in line, I wouldn't be worried. I am sure they are loving the 600W HPS.
 
Yes the temp are the same with the hps as it was with the T5 which is 81deg. Yes the all have small buds all over them and one is starting to get crystals on the leaves that the buds are growing around.

If everything looks healthy and you have a 100% 12 hr, dark peroid..Then you should be fine.. get ready to watch the fun.... :D
 
Yes these are on a true black out 12/12. These are just bag seeds I did out of 10 4 were females. So not really sure on what these buds should even really look like or how big they will even get. I will take a few pictures in the morning.
 
With going from t 5 to hps you will see a huge diff with your bud size and growth.. Good luck
