Oh yeah is an HPS better for veg then a T5?? the HPS is 400W with a flowering bulb in it. the T5 has Veg bulbs in it and Im not POSITIVE the wattage but its the 4 bulb 2 foot one. Should I have a few of my healthier "mother candidate" plants under the HPS for veg???

hps lighting is best used for flowering b/c of the color temp, the hps will put off more light than the t5 (also have 1, its 96w @ 8000lumens), but the t5 has the right color temp. try useing both if you can. some people use hps from start to finish, some use mh from start to finish. thats why there are 2 different grow lights, veg & flower. as for rewireing the ballast, i cant tell you whats the worst that can happen, ive never done this, but my guess is it would just blow the bulb.
