Ok, so I've heard if you can only get one light get metal halide. I've also heard if you can only get one get Hps. Which one should I get? I would get better buds with hps but what about during the veggie stage?

all your bud production is in flowering. that being said it woud probably be best going with a light that helps this process out the most. you can always veg a little longer to get your plants bigger. or you could even just use cfls for the veg if you are that worried about your girls

so definitey hps.

another thought is to get a conversion ballast that can support both an mh and hps. i have a simple little 250 watter and it does great in my closet

I bought a 400 watt hps ballast off of ebay used for like 70 bucks with a reflector and all. You can get mh conversion bulbs that will work in an hps ballast for around 50 bucks
