I know that the plant will grow faster under MH or HPS. My question is, Will the plant mature slower or dose the plant not get similar sized buds in the end, if I would you use T5 or WHO.

1000 watt HPS, cooled properly with adequate circulation kept less than 10 inches or closer to the canopy makes the BIGGEST, heaviest, densist, BEST BUDS... no DOUBT

With maybe a rare exception of teaming up 600watt HPS bulbs on a SOG..

400 watt hps is not even in the same LEAGUE as 1000watt.. NOT even close..

It's like comparing my KAK to YOURS...
you can decide who is the 400 and who is the 1000

I love you


AND NOW YOU KNOW!!

Have a question if you don't mind me adding on to yours.....what is the real harm in using general house lights. I mean can you get a few plants growing with them and produce good buds (not the best but good)?? or os it that you need these lights to grow them faster and produce more?

My question is not how good MH or HPS are. My question is, can you get similar result usin WHO or T5 even if it takes longer time.

House lights will NEVER EVER grow a single plant, or seedling, or anything. The plant needs a certain spectrum to grow, and a certain number of lumens.

House lights do not have any lumens or the right spectrum. All they do is make plants strech towards them and then the seedling will fall over and die.

THe cheapest way to actually grow is using CFL's which can be bought from basically any hardware store. Otherwise invest in a HPS and MH lighting system. If you wanna grow serious bud thats the way to go.
