Hello i recently purchased a hps grow system and wasnt sure if i could vegg under hps because i usually use cfl or t5 to vegg.

Im thinking HPS lighting is only good for Flowering anybody that could help i would appreciate it. You can but they will stretch more. I have read some old heads don't purchase mh because its simply not necessary. While it is possible, The plant Prefers Blue light while in the vegatative state Which is provided by those CFLs or T5's and the HPS gives them lots of red that helps bump up there yields with red light.

These are both the case due to natural sun light. More blue light in spring, More Red in Fall. Thanks chobble i was sure about the plants prefering the blue color but when i got the equipmen the guy told me he got a qp of his setup wich was 2 plants under watts hps i gues the question i should ask is whIch light would produce a biger yield In the end.
