CFL for veg, HPS for flowering? Autoflowers

[qtap]

Hi all, still learning here. I am growing autoflowerers. I have two different tents..I wonder if I can get away with using CFLs for either the veg, or the flowering stage. I have 150 HPS. Which tent would it be better to use the HPS in, the flowering, or the vegetative?

Thanks much!!

Without question, flowering. Budding plants need more red spectrum light and that's what the HPS does best. That 150W isn't all that much, though. I hope you're not planning on growing more than a couple of plants.

what size grow room are you using? what is your set up? how many plants are you going to grow? cfl will work good for veg. just make sure they are 6500K. you might want to get a bigger hps if your doing more then 2-3 plants.
