Maybe sooner depends how long your clones take to get a health root system and start showing new growth.
yeah i transplanted to early and the 2 bottom leaves from my 2 clones just yellowed and look dead. other than that they pulled thru with light nutes.

Hey i can back up ghost on the hps , i did a grow with cfls a couple months back.. was my first one and im doing one now with a 150watt.. dude i have problems gettion my room warm enough without the cfls :D
Hey man just another word of advice.. if u can go for a 250 hps it would be the bomb i mean ive looked at both 150 and 250 grows and i have to say it has to be worth the etxra couple quid. If ur willing to dish out a bit more u can get a 250 with a cooltube and have monster plants going for ya!!
Good luck on Your grow Fiend!

good to know bro i think im def gonna go hps....now when i get the hps 150watt. should i still do fluro lights for veg and cloning or use hps for all 3....cloning veg and flower? btw thanks for your help bro much appreciated
If u can manage to fit fluoros in without blocking light from the hps then once u get a good root system u can use all ur lights , i dont do this cause its just too clustered in my growroom if i keep adding cfls :D

yeah im really looking into getting maybe a 400w. but there likes 100's of dollars. i think ill go with the 250hps but im gonna look into it . it is a closet grow and the cfls let off enough heat as it is i have a hard time keeping temps below 80

Get some fans up in there. Usually needs an exhaust fan and a isolating fan blowing on your plants.
i got just one intake fan about foot and a half big. cant see it cuz its leaned up against something. but yes your right i will most def get some extra fans

well the difference between a 150 and a 250 usaly is very minor .. over this side anyway.. if u have the money man invest properly as just from my experience you eventually will anyways cause u just want to make it better and better :D

Yes defiantly if I was u I would keep the system u have now till your able to buy a 400watt system. 400 watt is perfect for a lil personal closet grower like most of us on here. Don't keep wasting your money on different watt bulbs. Just go for the 400watt. U can get a ballast hood and bulbs for about $250.

I'll post a couple picks of my grow room set up. It stays ~75F with lights on and ~65F with lights off. My exhaust fan is a box fan. It fit in my cross space hole perfectly. The light looks blue because it's a sunargo bulb which is a MH&HPS bulb in one. Idk if I really like it all that much. I think im'a go with a regular hps bulb next grow. I'll have to go get a hps ballast which sucks, going to cost another $100.

Exactly! And make sure u have one blowing on your plants at all times. Some people think it will hurt there plant when they see the leaves going crazy from the fan but it's a good thing. It recirculates the air giving the plant new co2. So the more fresh air in the room, the better your plant can breath.

I used every light type on the planet for cloning and seedlings, but once I bought a T5 lamp system; I am very happy. It is the safe way to go with small plants. :)
