Light is light. HPS would have been more ideal, but MH will work too. I've seen people using the same Fluro's to grow from start to finish. If you are able to spend $15 more dollars I would consider buying some 2700K CFL's to add to your light spectrum so they do get some of the light they prefer for flowering. Walmart sells 42W 2700K, 2700 Lumen each for $8. I would buy 1-2 of those and put them on either side. If you want to save money on the bulb and electricity, then maybe buy smaller 2700K with less lumen. But I really believe that 2 of those plus your MH would be an awesome combo for ya.

Good luck!
