The answer was the downside to using HPS for vegitative was the shortage of BLUE! That was why color WAS part of the question.

Sorry Twitch, I just tried to help and explain WHY, not just throw out a generic answer. I got carried away after I was attacked and told my answer was bullshit and had no basis in fact. I did not mean to "mess up your thread and would never post a reply to a "grow log". This was posted to a regular thread, asking why HM was said to be better for Vegitative growth (BLUE). However NOT a grow log.

ITS WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN TO 12/12 LIGHT THAT TRIGGERS THE FLOWERING!!
thats why u can do a (seed to bud) and get product in under 3 months
^^^lets not start an augment about that either guys
Sorry you didn't read it. It had some good stuff about how BLUE grows thicker more productive plants. Plus how RED is used to produce higher flowering hormones. I will be putting all of this information into my grows and only posted it to try and help(and prove I'm not just a windbag spewing bullshit). I never argued about 12/12. Just pointed out that RED does have a role. AND Blue was better to grow thicker healthier plants (as the question asked).

Cool, I'm watch and never post if that is what you want. As I said, I only tried to help until I was attacked for posting informative facts based on science.
