MH bulbs are more for the vegetative state, while HPS bulbs are helpful in the 12-12 budding stage. So I would keep the MH bulb on as long as you're in the vegetative state, but once you switch to 12-12, switch your MH with the HPS. It'll help the buds develope.

It would help by a broader spectrum and more light.

Now ask a different question instead of beating this one to death.

plus the MH gives off UV rays which forces the buds to produce more resin to protect itself from the rays.

And what Dirtboy said more light equals more bud
