Hello Stoner Nation! I have a 3x3x5 tent with 2 autos.....they are in flower I need to start a couple more now but if I throw them in the tent they will be under hps pretty much start to finish...will they veg alright under hps the only thing I've heard is the hps tents to make plants stretch during veg. Any info greatly appreciated.

What's the wattage and if you keep the light semi close then I don't see why they would stretch

Plenty of people run hps start to finish,there is more red in that spectrum vs a metal halide or something which most people consider superior for vegging.The additional reds could induce stretching.during flower but thats good and normal.The bad kind of stretching is when its looking for intensity,you dont want that.In your case woth a 600 I dont see you having that issue,unless plants are on the edge of the light footprint.

I'm running a 600w in a 3x3x5 tent so looking for intensity shouldn't be an issue then right. And I'll be good to veg with hps.....I'm gunna be running autos to so they don't have much of a veg time anyhow......soon as all these auto seeds are gone I'm going straight back to photos because I miss topping and Super cropping and shit ya know
