You can use it, but I would only use it for a little bit while i'm out buying an HPS bulb from my local grow shop.

the mh will be a hell of a lot better than nothing, even if it does stress them out it would be better to deal with stress than to put them in the dark. or you can harvest now

i just got a microscope too so im excited because by the looks o things im nearing harvest anyway, and it sucks cuz i cant get any good hps bulbs around here except the standard ones( not full spectrum) so id have to order one. either way, i think it'll work out. thanks a lot guys.

I have used MH thru the whole grow so many times i cant count them. You will be fine. You might get some extra uv too. BUT you have 20,000 less lumens. Home depot sells HPS 400w for $20
