how many watts is your mh lamp and hps? i would start with the fluorescent for a week or two with them an inch away or so. the veg under the mh till there at the height you want or your room will let you remember they do grow in flowering to. height also depends on how many watts you have you could always lst, top, or scrog them to get a large yield no matter amount of mh or hps. hope this helps.

pmsl, but i dont no how old the bulbs are, i dont really wanna go out and spend more money on bulbs tho, some time next week i was going to leave the lights on and see how hot the room gets and try and regulate the temp before i even start messing with the seeds. i turned one of the lights on and looked right at it after it had warmed up fuk me i was nearly blind pmsl.

most cannabis plants(except for auto flowers.. thats a different ballgame) will veg for 3 weeks no matter what light cycle you have them on. after that point, its up to you how long you want them to veg for. the longer you let them veg, the bigger they will get and the more the yield will increase. growing indoors, a good rule of thumb to observe is to plan that each plant will at least double in size when you switch to 12/12 lighting, and different strains will stretch at different rates, so be carefull not to veg for too long, or else when they go to flower, they will be getting burnt by the lights ;)
