Clones can typically grow faster than seedlings for obvious reasons. It didn't matter what kind of light you had, clones can and will grow about a foot a week once roots are established. Unlike a seedling that has to go through the "seedling" stage before it veg's, hence why clones are more popular. Your not the only person to do "little experiments". They market and sell these types of lights for these specific purposes for reasons ya know.

No offense, there are just too many variables in your experiment for you to be saying that HPS is better for veg when it actually isn't.
erm point out where i said HPS is better for veg????? cant see it, i dont see it either i said i once tried using a HPS for veg (as an experiment) and did NOT say it was best. read what people write 'before' you criticise them. of course other people have tried experimenting you wouldnt be the first either. from what you wrote about my post you seem to be on a high horse strait away with no reason, i suggest not smoking too much before reading posts because you obviously dont read them right
sirruler Reviewed by sirruler on . This makes no sense ........... I have had 5 plants under a 400w MH bulb for almost 2 weeks now and they are green as hell and have nice big, fat leaves but they dont seem to be getting taller. A few grows ago when all I had was an HPS bulb I didnt seem to notice this type of behavior so I guess my question would be does an MH bulb slow down vertical growth??? At the rate they are going I'll be retired before I can clone them lol (but really crying :( ) Rating: 5
