I currently have a cheap apollo 5x5 and am having a good dilemma I'm looking at getting 2 mars 144x3 lights and running my 600 watt hid in the middle I heard that led doesn't do as well during flower so I'm thinking that the 600 watt hid in the middle would help out and since the Mars reflector 144x3 says it'll do 2.2 x 6.5 feet the hid will make sure I have total coverage. And I'll still be drawing the same as my 2 600 watt hid lights that I use in the winter time :) what do you guys think is mixing the hid and led good or bad? Will it help or hurt I was going to pick up a better tent to and was thinking an garilla would be nice 4x4 or 5x5 but I am also thinking maybe a 2x4 for with 144x3 and then in the winter use the hps and it's my space heater as well for the winter :) what do yall think 4 or 5 plants in 5 gallon smart pots in the 4x4 or 5x5 or 2 in the 2x4 with just the 144x3 reflector or a 600 watt hid depending on season I'd like to do the 5x5 and try and do 6 plants in there and still have my fan room and filter stand on the sides like I do now
 
I think a combo is of led and hid is perfect. LOL. That's what I run… Currently have a 4 x 4 tent with a 1,000 hps and right now over my beast fantasmo express i got my backstar 240w over her.. it's a great way to compensate for the sometimes uneven canopy that can occur growing different strains… as far as a grow tent, Ive had a few and imho the best of them so far has been the gro labs tent I got from greeners.

Thanks Yoda do you think that 2 of them 144x3 reflectors and a 600 watt hps will be sufficient? For 6 thick plants? I have never used led before so I guess I'm just not sure what I'd need like I know 400 watt hid for 3x3 600 for 4x4 and 1000 for 5 5 lol pretty straight forward but not sure about leds
