So i ordered what i thought was a High pressure sodium light from ebay and it arrived today. To my dismay it is a Metal halide will this work for flowering for the time being?

halides are usually in the blue spectrum right? well what if i got like a few red spectrum CFLs or fluorescents? that might do the trick

well thats the thing... i really would(which is why i tried to buy one in the first place) except after buying all my initial stuff iwhich is everything i need to grow i am a little broke for a couple weeks so i gotta wait and if i can achieve the same thing by not dropping another hundo on a light i would be happy

Use it, it will flower plants. I've seen turn-key units come with ONLY MH lights. Add some Red spectrun LED to compensate. I use 600w HPS for flowering suplemented with full spectrum CFL's for flowering. For Veging, all I need is MH it's way brighter. I would still get what the HPS.

i have honestly seen cfl grows that looked aswome a little lighter but good at any rate. led is a joke,cfl is even better than led.
