Is it too early for HPS?

Hey sorry for the late reply, I can't post pics cause I removed the HPS again, I couldn't control the temp in my cabinet so I'll have to install some cooling fans first.

The thing is that my plants aren't even two weeks old so I'm thinking it might be too early or something for such a strong light. So do you guys think I should put the crappy cfl tube back in for a while until they're a bit bigger or just leave the HPS? Thanks Rating: 5

i hear good things about plants that use both all the way through...15w isnt nearly enough though...the 400w hps is probally plenty ucould prob grow 5 plants under that thing...

usually people use cfls during veg and hps/mh during flower

just keep in mind thats tempuatre control is very important and a 400w hps in a small cabinet will need good ventilation, stick a fan in there or soemthing and u should be fine

Thanks, I'll be working on that fan asap so I can use both lamps.
