What spectrum T5 bulbs would be best to supplement a 150watt HPS as side lighting? I have a 150HPS and plan on getting a tent + single T5s to mount in corners for supplemental side lighting. Would the bloom bulbs or veg bulbs be best to run alongside the HPS at the same time? Would I get more benefit from the blue spec on the grows or better off going red all the way and adding bloom T5s?

I've used the same set up over two grows.
I've vegged with the T5, then used it as side lighting, keeping it's blue spectrum bulbs.
My plants have all been healthy, with nice dense buds, yielding around 6 dry ounces each grow.
The mixed spectrum has been good for me

Thanks, HermDawg!! I have a 2'4bulb T5 HO with two bloom bulbs and two grow that I'm veging under and it works great. Was wondering if I should kinda do the same thing with the HPS, getting the grow ones for a mixed spectrum in my bloom area as well. The 4'1bulb T5 HOs will only be used for flowering, alongside the 150HPS, so I want to get whatever will help it the most.
