Vegging

[ramones05]

Ok, this is my first grow, is it alright to use a 400W HPS light to veg my plants, im thinkin about growin 4 - 5 so that im hopefully left with 2-3 females.
Or should i use CFls, if so how many CFL lights will i need, would say 5, 20W cool white CFLs be fine for vegging?
As well when should i switch to my HPS light
Cheers

The HPS with a growlux bulb can veg & flower your plants. Just upgrade your bulb and have fun.

A growlux you say?

I've got a Growlux 400 w hps.. can a veg with that to? I already planed on doing that, but if you guys think it's good, I'll definatly do it!

wouldnt it be even better to just get the MH convertion bulb for veg? its about 40bucks ----Zandor

I think 400w conversion bulbs are more money then that. If you can afford one sure but the hortilux enhanced spectrum are designed for a all in one grow bulb vegetation and flower from one bulb.
