| |  1000W HPS or 6500K CFL'S for vegging | |
i know HPS is best for flowering and i currently have 270W worth of 6500k CFLs on my babies, would it be better to just use the 1000w HPS to veg is i had it on 18/6?

Why not use all of the lights? The will HPS produce more growth than the CFLs, but using both of them would be best, then when you go to flowering you can just use the 1000w HPS and use the CFLs for vegging some more plants to get a somewhat perpetual harvest going. |

hps in veg means more males. you don't need it, imo, use the cfl's.

lol, no, this applies to seedlings. in my experience, my statement is very true. under hps, i had 60% male. under mh, i had 95%+ fem. go figure...
but... the fact still remains that 6500 kelvin is the ideal spectrum for veggetative growth. using cfl's will save you electricity too.
hmmm, yep, i still think i'd go with the cfl's, saving my pretty powerful 1000w for flower.

I would use the 1000w for you plants and use the cfl's for other purposes like other clones.
