you can technically grow start to finish on hps...or even mh...or even cfls....
they say a full spectrum of lighting is best.
So since you have a 250watt hps...why not run a some 6500K cfls in addition to the hps.
it would be more productive in my opinion.
do this even in flowering.
use the 6500k bulbs as supplemental lighting...like in the dark spaces or sides of your plants...

well the light change shouldnt stretch the plants, thats more based on where and how far the light(s) is. should definately help the plant vegg alot more, try "lst" (low stress training) if the plants stretch up or even if they dont.. it'll definately do you good. search "super cropping" on youtube or low stress training on this site..

I'm currently vegging 7 plants under 250w hps 
Oh and there's no stretch, just keep the bulb 9-14 inches above the foliage.

Hps all the way my friend, or you could even grab a Mh bulb for the veg.

You might get 25-50% more bud with hps but the quality of the bud will be a lot better for sure.
