Just a quick question.... i have been growing on cfls for about 2 months now....

i am ready to flower, but i dont have the hps yet....

can i get away with using the same cfls as i did for veg and switch to hps later on when i get the bulb...

just by changing the light cycle, can i begin the flowering process using the same cfls?

thanks

No problem at all with what you're proposing. Some people will even tell you that you don't need the HPS at all, though I'm not one of them.

yer if you give your plants 48 out hours of dark before you switch to 12/12 its like giving your plants a big slap in to the flowering stage, and just letting them know its time to flower!!!!
