Hi there!!!

I just started to grow my plants (they are about 2 weeks now) and they are under a small fluorescent light wich is clearly not enough... so i am about to purcharse a 400w Hps wich i'm gonna need in the flowering period anyway. Would it be a wright move to change thr fluor for the hps during the veg cycle?

I am just worried that this would stress the plants somehow...

Thanks a lot!!!
 
yeah, more light be it warm or cool is always better. But, the same amount of cool blue during veg as warm, the cool will make the plant do better...

Get a digital ballast that accepts hps and MH bulbs and use the MH bulb during veg (cool blue) and the HPS bulb during flowering (warm).

Just to add.... I have had a higher female ratio using cool flo's (more blue spectrum) in veg. There is an article on it in one of the sections. Its a sticky and will be at the top of the list.
