A hortilux bulb will produce both red and blue light. During veg, you do not need red light. Hortilux lights were designed for people who want ONE BULB - ONE GROW convenience.

The added red of the hortilux is ideal is you want higher internodal length....like for growing mother plants. It would work great.

Its the bulb of choice if you are going to take clones from her.

But if not, you should still maintain the "COOL BLUES" of light for vegging that a straight MH, or CFL's, would provide.

Other than allowing for some stretching for the stated reasons, your plants have no need for red waves in the veg stage.
