Wait until it shows sex then give her all the light you can imo if you use 600 now it's just wasting light and power. Just make sure to pull light away when you turn it up. I run at super lumens 1250 watts and have them 14'' away but that's because I have very good air flow through the hoods. Just hold the back of your hand at the top of the plant and if it feels hot after a few seconds then move it up a little more. at 600watts your should be good at 12-18 inches.

Thanks for the info TD, you're fuckin awesome! Our light is a 1000 watt so well probably just turn it straight up to 1000 after it shows sex.
