it will start just fine . but your ( MURDERING )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! electricity ! why do you want to kill money . why not use a small light bulb a 25 watt or so and if you need to keep it warm buy a heating pad it uses 10 or 20 watts.
I don't use my 400 to veg at all, it's way too inefficient compared to cfl's for me. The cfl's are cooler and you can run them any schedule you want with no worries. I cant tell a difference in my electricity bill with the cfl's on 24/7. The MH fuck that, 100.00 minimum a month more.
Shit yeah. I'm not looking forward to 12/12 this summer it's going to be nut's.Electric must be outrage priced where your from. A 400mh ran 24/7 would cost me $23 a month.
I like to start under a 600mh digilux. I stick them in the shadow of a 5 gallon plant until they sprout. Light is about 4 feet away. I slowly everyday move them into the light and within a week there usually placed up on a shelf about foot tall and absorbing the 600 fine.
