Yes, you can us it for both however a metal halide light would serve you better as it has a better color spectrum of light for the vegetative state and then use the HPS for flowering cycle. I use flourescents for veg and that has been working well for me. The growth is a little slower but the results have been great.

Intresting..
Also, the replacement bulb I bought said this:
Does that mean they are made for both stages?

These Grolux lamps are for plant growth.
The most well known dual spectrum lamp on the market is made by Sylvania
They are basically a standard sodium with a small amount of blue light included in the spectrum to make the spectrum more suitable for plant growth.

Whats the difference between hps and metal halide??? Do they both run off the same ballast??? are they just a matter of switching globes or is it a completely different set up?
I been using my Hps for veg and flowering for years now and never really gave it much thought... Maybe i could increase my results!? What effect would it have on the final product?

well i have no experience with mh but from what ive learned and read, vegging with HPS AND MH is awesome. i dont know if u need a new ballast for a mh but MH alone is also awesome for veg. it would increase ur yield if u went MH for veg whether u added it to ur HPS or replaced ur hps with it. but like i said not speaking from experience
