Yes, you can use cfls all the way through. Your yield will be smaller. There are several threads in this forum of all-florescent grows.

Hps can be used for all phases following germination.

Initiate flowering when the plant is ready, which in my experience, is 4-5 weeks from seed.

Yes. Watering schedule would be more frequent under hps. Water as needed.

I don't understand the question. Are you talking about the distance from plant to bulb? If so, the cfls can be placed close to the growing foliage. Hps must be a good deal away from the top.

If you have the option of using a hps, I would definitley do it.
