Both will work fine.. but the hps requires more finess to keep your seedlings happy..

LED lighting produces light fluffy buds..this is not what we're after!
Go with the HPS light, keep it as close as possible to your plants.
Happy growing.

I would use the led for the first 2 or 3 weeks to get them started. Then switch to the HPS.

Putting a HPS as close as you can to a seedling/young plant? Simply bad advice.

I would go with the HPS, my friend. You want vigorous growth during veg and any HID will help you reach that goal better than an LED right now IMO. LED technology just isn't there yet.
Good Luck!

And exactly why would the led stretch them? The distance you would need to keep a HPS from the seedlings would probaly stretch them more than the LED.
