I used nothing but HPS light for the longest time, and suffered few ill effects from using it during veg. With a MH, or sufficient blue spectrum light from fluorescents, the branches won't stretch quite as much...giving you shorter, stockier plants. Especially if you're growing a plant that's predominantly indica. But you can easily train or top most varieties to keep the stature squat and manageable.
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . HPS For Veg Im ify on this and was wondering other opinons. I got a couple CFLs im using for veg, but this grow i think i sprouted more plants then the CFLs can handle so my question is instead of goin out to buy more CFLs and sockets, could i just use the HPS light for the rest of veg trhough flower?....i mean if the yeild difference isnt that much i was just gunna do that cuz im kinda broke......whaddaya think?
