yeah you can def use that 250 watt hps to veg your plants but make sure to keep the light at least 12-16inches away from your plants. And BTW 250watt hps is not nearly enough light, ESPECIALLY for 13 plants. I suggest going on Amazon an looking into 3-piece cool tube packages of 400 or better yet 600 watt HPS grow lights. In fact I THINK you should def get the 600 watt for 13 plants. even if only half end up being female, you are still going to want at least 600 watts.

Ya I agree a 250W would be gr8 for veg but once those bad girls start gettin horny a 400 watt or 600 watt HPS would be best. Keep in mind cooling requirements tho, maybe 2 400 watters would work out better.
