I would use what you have at the moment but I would plan on getting hps for flowering when you can. The biggest difference is the lumen output from mh to hps. a 400 watt mh puts out around 36,000 lumens and has a life of around 10,000 hours a hps on the other hand puts out around 48,000 lumens and has a life of 20,000 hours so you gain a extra 12,000 lumens while using the same amount of electricity.
