Putting my babies under my HPS

I have three little sprouts under a 40W CFL that I know isnt even close to enough light so I was wondering if I could put them under my 1000W HPS grow light? I know people use these for flowering but I dont see why I couldnt put my babies under it as long as there at a safe distance.

Because you'll cook them if not careful.. use the CFL's till they're bigger.. some things can't be forced w/out potential grimness..IMO.... Luck.

If they are tiny sprouts it might be overkill. All that light for a 6" square area, you know what i mean? Plus the extra hydro and using bulb hours for such small plants that aren't really gonna use it.
In the end it's up to you. I would just spend $40 and get a bigger CFL.
