HPS provides the more reddish/orange spectrum. (fall months)
For propagating clones I would recommend a few flos. as during the rooting process not much light is needed, and heat is a killer on sensitive clones.
For Veg. Metal Halide is best. but an HPS will do just fine. As will Florous.
For Flower HPS all the way. IMHO

Just wondering if u need 2 different lights for prop and the flowering stage. Heard theres a blue for prop and orange for flowering stage. Does the HPS light have both on them??
Thanks
lol they are just lil' seedlings jason, they will mature and then you will recognize that lovely leaf pattern (unless you accidently mixed them up with something else on your wifes potting bench!). You really need to do ALOT of reading around (check out pretty much all of the stickies). With that said, you can veg with a HPS, Flouro strips, CFL, MH.. whatever. There is a slight increase in growth when using dominant blue spectrum lighting (ie. Metal Halide, 6000k range Flourescents). So it sounds like your vegging with flouros, so when you switch to 12/12 and start flowering, that is the time you should switch out to a stronger, HPS bulb. Also check out the resources tab - http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9396 - Should prove to be VERY helpful to you. :bong: Good luck!jasonscruff said:hi all new here .at wot point do i change from flourescent bulb to sodium bulb.i am growing from seeds and they now are about 3 inches tall with an average amount of about 10 leaves . and also the leaves dont look to much like cannabis leaves .although i know they are proper seeds. please could some one give some feed back . many thnks
