Are HPS lights better to use for veg cycle rather than fluorscent? And if so, how far should I keep a 400 w away from the tops?

If you want a really good flaurecent light for veg do what me and InYourEndo did and buy a floodlight from Home Depot for 30 bucks or so, it puts out 500w but runs at 65w, so you could buy 2, running 1000w but costing you 130w. Check it out, its a blue box that sais "FLOOD LIGHT".

i have taken apic off the box with specs for the differrant 40 watt bulbs but still waiting for it to process will post asap for you maybe imiss understand itYes, but the plants only respond to the actual wattage - which is 130w. The high efficiancy refers to what the human eye can see. I.E. it will seem as bright as a 1000w bulb to a human, but the plants will only "see" 130w or 9000 lumens. (A 1000w HPS puts out 137,000 lumens)
Clear as mud.... LOL
