Only if u plan on frying some marijuana lol. Get urself a 10.00 bathroom light bar and some 14-23watt cfls and make urself a clone light. 600w hps is waaaaaay to intense light for clones unless they have rooted

ye even the duel spec sunmatser bulbs are to intense. they need very little light unlike seedlings, i use a small one tube florescent that that i got from the local hydro shop for 5 quid, does them great till the root and ready to move, but then they dont go under my 600 hundreds, they have a week or so under a t5, they just seem to respond better this way

as long as its not too close and the clones aren't too hot its fine. I put mine in the shade of bigger plants if I'm vegging with HPS
