I've used HPS for vegging before. Decent result, though they did stretch a bit.

My preference is still for MH. I like to keep my plants as compact as possible.

I have vegged with both and i deff had better thicker stonger plants you can check out my thread prodigy's big bushes i have monsters with 40 50 tops in 7 and 10 gal coco smart pots all vegged with either a 600 watt lumatek hps or a 1000 watt lumatek hps the groth rate with hps is by far the fastest and stongets but if you like veginng with hps both will do a good job i would just rather have thirty to fifty thousand more lumens per watt per square in.

Dam you just wont shut up .... those were just some sample ideas. aint showing off anything. get over yourself. I don't understand why your stuck on this. I didn't say that hps is better than cfls or t5. or not to use hps or any of that shit.

I don't want to argue this. can we agree to disagree.

have some pie

Yes I will agree to disagree, this conversation is finally over :D

This thread is quite hilarious. :D

As others have said, it's possible, but not preferable. If it's all you have though, it's worthwhile doing.

Yes CFLs and Fluoros are better than no garden at all any day of the week! Something we can all agree on!

I would grow with a fucking wind-up emergency flashlight and a lit candle if I had to.
I got your dual-arc right here.

I use a 600w hps for both veg and flower. Keep the canopy even and the light at the right distance and you will be okay.

I am looking to add a 400w nh to my room though.
