im currently in day 44 of veging and my plants are looking good, im using a 125cfl for now but ive got a 250hps on the way. Am i ok to put them on 12/12 now and start flowering and replace the bulb when i get it or should i just stop being impatient and just wait for the 250?

Wats up DT, I don't see why not. As long as the schedule is right the light wont make to much of a difference. They may jus stretch a bit more. do u plan to keep the cfl in the room with the hps? Lets see some pics and give us some details DT open up man. Happy Growing!!!

nah theres no deadline guys, my hps was ment to arrive today but some doosh from a hydro shop decided to add an Extra £12 to delivery because of where i live, and he only decided to tell me today! youd think theyd hook a brother up! so... told him where to ram it. anyway, i think they could do with a bit more streatching still looking a bit on the small side. Wont be keeping the cfl on, will just be switching it to the hps dont have another socket thingy for it. Cheers for the input dudes!
heres some pics.

I would kick it into 12/12 while still under the blue light. That helps control the stretch some.

Cant really go go wrong with lst, u literally jus tie some twine or string around the 2nd or 3nd top node and tie it towards the edge of the pot. That's it, and that little bit of stress will send her into a frenzy.
