Need a light recommendation for re-veg

Hi guys I got a 400w HPS with some blueberry growing in a dwc in a closet..
I'm close to harvest and I want to re-veg but the 400w HPS is extremely hot and much too red spectrum for good veg growth... so I am wondering what the best option for vegetative light on a budget would be.. keep in mind that 4 foot fluorescents are too long... but i'm open to suggestions.. thanks in advance. :)

Fluoros are best for reveg. needs to be kept on 24hours. Some strains reveg better than others, it's good to keep a few little basal branches with leaves to collect the light.
If you could rig up a little cluster of compact fluorescent lamps, cool white or even daylight is generally the best as it has a bit of blue in it, and not as much red.

Yes, a branch or two off the main stalk as close to the bottom as possible, and it works best if it still has a leaf or some leaves on it. It's hard to say exactly without seeing the bush, but you should be able to tell by looking at it. :) The plant is kind of in a state of shock about having been just harvested, but she'll come around, although it may take several weeks before you have something that you can take a cutting from.
