I have a HPS right now, and my cab is only 16"x12". I'd like to get something else for vegging just for a couple weeks. I found this LED panel that would fit perfectly. I think the MH would be slightly better but the LED panel would be much more convenient. Thoughts?

I'm keeping my HPS but I'd like more of a blue spectrum for veg growth for a couple weeks. The HPS does fine, but I'm sure something with a cooler spectrum grows them faster.

No it wont grow them faster it would make them grow short and bushy with close node spacing..T5s would be fine to use they are supposed to be good to veg with and energy saving..

I don't have room for T5s though, I wish I did. I only have a 16" x 12" foot space. But you just think screw it just run the HPS for vegging?

Yeah you can add a couple of blue spectrum cfls to mix up the spectrum some..
