You could do that... But why? 8 HoT5 bulbs at 54 watts a piece = 432 watts.. with way more hassel... lol.. If anything.. go with a 400HPS on top.. and get a couple HoT5's to run along the bottom on either side... this will help your bottom buds fill in.. Honestly.. don't worry about the different spectrums for veg and flower.. In a small space with proper lighting.. you will only be in veg for 10-14 days at the most.. And honestly.. the plants tend to do much better in flower when they are vegged under HPS.. the thicker stems allow more nutes to flow to the buds (and helps hold the big buds up!).. and the bigger fan leaves allow for more light energy conversion by the plant itself... A more blue spectrum of light will produce more "vegetation" on the plant.. but thats not necessarily a good thing... a bunch of small leaves will produce a bunch of small buds... a few big leaves.. will produce a few MASSIVE buds!
