Flowering for 2 weeks with veg lights then switch to HPS? Too much stress?

Alright, I didn't wanna ask, but I can't find the info i'm looking for.

I get my HPS in about 2 weeks, but I need to start flowering, so I can harvest in time. Would it overstress the plants to begin flower under my veg setup (17 26W CFL @ about 27K Lumens 6500K spectrum), and then put them under an HPS after about 2 weeks? I know the spectrum is wrong, but I need to start flower, and I don't want to over stress them.

Any thoughts?

Didn't figure it would be overly stressful...i'd just hoped for an informed answer. Thanks for posting guys! Good grows to you.

I've also found, the 6500k for the first couple of weeks helps reduce stretch along with a not abrupt switch to the high P nutes.

Thank you, but I actually ran across that already once before and copied it. But I appreciate that you thought enough of it to come back and post a pic to help. Thanks man.
