When to put under HPS/MH 400Watt

Right now I'm using a common household CFL:




I'm using it for THESE plants, I took these pictures just a minute ago:



This picture almost look as if the 2 large leaves are hanging down on one side but thats just the angle I took it at. They are slightly tilted but that's just because of the light, that should be ok right?


Anyway the question is, is when is it ok to switch to the HPS and MH 400 Watt lights?

We don't have the money right now but will in about 2 weeks, will that be too long? Or will the lights we have now due untill then?

Thanks guys

No your plant should do fine under cfl just keep the plant right under the cfl about two or three inches away.

You can switch it now but 2 weeks will work also. Just dont make the same mistake alot of others do.....The MH or HPS is very intense and hot compared to cfl's. Make sure its the proper distance away from the plant or you will fry it.
