I've only ever veged under HPS, I use CF's for seedlings and clone then straight to HPS for veg and flower. This is sensi skunk vegged LST under HPS. The sensi site says that sensi skunk is a lanky indica. I didn't find it that way.

as far as im aware veggin under a hps will give you thinner blades and slightly longer nodes, but the difference isnt that great...

Conventional thinking for a long time was MH is best for vegging and HPS is best for flower. However over the past couple of years there seems to be a shift in this thinking with a lot of growers noticing that HPS is just as good if not better in veg. The reality is plants will grow best with a combination of MH and HPS light but for small personal setups this is impracticle. A horticultural lamp like the Phillips Son T Agro is the best bet as the spectrums emitted are mostly HPS with some MH and they are specifically designed for optimum plant growth.

 

If you had a spare MH light lying around you would use it, but really HPS all the way is the go in my opinion.

i saw a $70 conversion bulb in the hydro shop today, the guy behind the counter said its basically a MH that works with HPS ballasts...if that works, it could be very well worth looking into
