Led to Hps?

I would be starting seedlings and having clones in there and veg for maybe 3-4 weeks. basically its a 135w led and it would be going to a 600w hps. My guess is that it would be to much of shock for them, I also have a few 150 hps setups. I could always do 1 135 and 1 150 or just 2 150w hps but then I feel that that would be to much for what I would want. Any suggestions on what I should do or how you would go about this with these materials. the tent is a its either a 3x2x5ft tent or a 4x2x5 tent, cant remember havnt set it up yet. and I also have a 2x2 tent.

well I will have it as a perpetual so the light will be at its highest spot where it still is effective to both the most mature and then ones that were just put in there, I just didn't know if that would be to much of a shock for it, but thankyou.

That will work to but just remember that the light can fry your plants if Hung too close and a 600 w inside of a tent or small space must be vented correctly or it will result in dead plants or fire

I go straight from my LED veg tent to a 1000w hps and have never seen any issues. I always just put them at least 3ft away from the light for the first 2 days then they are moved to 15" to 18" from the 1000w light
