What's up RIU...I'm here from another board where the experienced growers have seemed to flee, and the noobs have seemed to flock....not to mention the damned "Server is too busy" messages...anyone who know's what I'm talking about speak up!!!
Anyway, let me preface my question with some background on my set up, and circumstances. I'm growing in my closet, using one corner of it, that encompasses about 8 sq ft of floor space, and about 7" of headroom. Mylar surrounds the entire area, and the closet is very well ventilated, heat is never an issue. I've got two 250/w HPS set-ups, and have a HPS->MH conversion bulb for one of them. I'm growing using bagseeds, and I'm using Gardener's Gold Organic Potting, and the Neptune's Harvest line of nutes. I've been very succesful with previous grows using these provisions. So I know that lumens are KING, and I know that MH is best for veg, and HPS is for flower. My previous indoor grow started with this single conversion bulb, and when flower was initiated, I used two of the HPS. So this time around, I was thinking about vegging under the conversion and the HPS. Are the additional lumen's going to make that much of a difference, even considering that the HPS spectrum is less than ideal for Veg?

Thanks!!
