Budding an autogrower

my autogrower "Mi5" off the site (dope-seeds.com) is starting to bud and im wondering if i should be using a hps bulb. i have it under a 400watt MH "cold" bulb 7200k with all my other normal plants but i dono how big of a difference it'll make if i put it under my 1000watt hps or my 45 LED grow panel thats 45 watts and 2 red LEDs for every blue LED (compared to a 250watt HPS apparently). now of course its only one and id rather not set up the 1000watt hps but im curious as to how big of a difference it'll make considering ive still never full budded and harvested a plant so i wouldnt know. i do have another autogrower about a week behind this one so the grow panel mayb isnt a bad idea becuz its on 24h n e ways growing hatched seedlings in a tray/dome.

comments? tips? answers? lol thanx in advance.

An auto benefits from energy supplied to it...the more energy, the larger the yeild....but more energy also results in other things like heat.....use what your environment can handle....but a 1000w on 24/0 is a bunch of heat....make sure you have enough ventilation............

ya im thinking i should put it under the grow panel, i wouldnt do a 1000 watt hps unless i had like 15 or 20 of them going. im just worried from going to the brightness of a 400 watt that it will be crippling the yeild by using the grow panel even tho its compared to a 250watt hps at only 45 watts n 45 LEDs. its really my only option at this point for a more red spectrum for budding tho, i do have a 400watt MH warm bulb thats 3200k but i am using both ballasts for veg. with the 7200k spectrum right now and i dont think i want to switch the bulb just for one plant to benefit.
