bro i wish i could help you with all your question but unfortunatly im a newb only my second grow and the first one i fu**** up lol but i do know that 400w hps is great for floweringyou may want to bring in some vegging lights to help in that area as far as the yeild for your grow we would need to know a lot more about your set up space conditions type of nutes etc. as for your soil check your bag to see the nutrient content and be sure its not time release or anything funny like that if your soil is fine then yes you will use it from stat to finish..i hope that helps a lil peace pot prosperity

May I suggest a magnetic HPS ballast - then you can veg and flower using the Philips Ceramic metal halide "master color retro white" bulb, or switch to HPS in flower if you want.

The spectrum has more red than HPS, and as much blue as hortilux blue, but it's only a $55 bulb.

See my grow for the results. :bigjoint:

:joint:Hey its been a while fellows but im back and ready to roll sorry my friends but i had to get rid of the 400watter i know i know but whats a guy to do that heat was just unmanageable for me..so this is what i did i ordered a 250watt hps and ill be using cfls 2700/6500 to handle most of all my seedlings and vegative stages ive done some long studying and there are some very impressive grows under the right cfl setup alone so i fugure with the combination of both in the flowering stages i cant lose? lol and most importantly i can control the darn heat..i built myself a very cool little grow box from all things a grand wardrobe box from u-haul its 2'x2'x5' i'll get some pics up soon.. so there you have it i'll be germing today 2x papaya 2x white rhino and with all the homework ive done i hope it goes well but i hope it smokes better...peace pot prosperity...:peace::joint::mrgreen:

i do have a grow journal dude! its in my sig magic blue mystic.. how did you miss that and about the hps mh and the rest i just got rid of the hps and mh 400 that i had becouse i could not deal with the heat issues in my place of residence at the time and my grow area im regulated to..just a simple 4 plant grow not trying to be a provider just a producer of some good bud brother..peace pot prosperity..
