The main thing we have seen is vegging with HPS really slows the vegprocess.....well let me clarify.
HPS seems to excellerate root growth alot more then top veg growth.
The stalk size is twice that of vegging with MH. The rootmass is far thicker also. Along with this is the super short internodal growth.
For me, if I am in a hurry to Veg, I would use MH, as the plant will reach "flippin'" height faster then HPS. If I am in no hurry, I would veg with HPS, escpecially if I wanted shorter, bushier plants.
We have not finished our run with the HPS vegged plants, we just flipped them a week ago,so we will see how the yield will be effected.
Just my observations from the last couple of months.
You have no idea how much you have enlightened me. Started vegging with HPS a few rounds ago, and couldn't figure out why my plants weren't at their usual 1-2inches a day of growth. Now I can quit worrying about that.NorCalHal said:We have been doing ALOT of work experimenting side by side with vegging with MH and HPS.

I'm using a Ushio enhanced spectrum bulb and have experienced the same thing NCH is describing. That's why the next bulb will be standard.stevetberry said:NCH are you all using regular HPS bulbs or the ehanced HPS bulbs with more blue light? Do you have to veg longer with the HPS to get the same amount of nodes?
