I'm growing some tomato plants under a 400 watt metal halide lamp. They

now I have them under 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness.

Should I continue to keep them under the MH lamp or should I switch over
to my high pressure sodium lamp? Also, should I change the light schedule
at all?

Tomatoes = long day, since they bear fruit during summer.
I'd switch to HPS anyway, since it costs less to run per
usable lumen.

My tomatoes first flower around the summer solstice. After that they set
fruit and flower some more as the days begin to shorten.
