I Have a grow going currently that is an LED Grow w an Advanced Platinum P300 LED Panel......I also bought a Floralux 150 watt HPS to put down low underneathe the canopy to improve underlighting......i checked tracking on the hps light a few mins ago and its out for delivery now so ill have it when i get home this eve from work.........im gonna place it low in my tent bc my AP P300 is overhead and i also have a mars reflector 150 led panel as well that is being repaired at the moment and should be back any day and it will be used as side lighting.........im hoping this amount of HPS will make a slight diff in yield,size, and quality all together as i have the best of both worlds or so ive read.......
I have a pretty well established thread of my current grows now so when i add this light it should be noticeable from pics ive posted w only led panels and cfls.......
So well see........
If anyone else has any expierience using HID and LED together in one tent please post pics and tell me your likes and dislikes or your setup and if u dod it all over again would u do it the same......
Basically did it make a big enough diff that u could tell ud used more than just LED or more than just HPS HID.......
Thanks everyone........HAPPY GROWING........
WHO DEY!!!!!
 
I recieved my Floralux 150 yesterday as expected and plugged her in last night for the first time......
I hope she makes a diff......

YOU SHOULD BE GOOD THE MORE WATTS THE BETTER....THE LEDS HELP FOR SURE ....I LOVE THE HPS AND MH IM JUST OLD SCHOOL........
I HAVE A LIL OLD MARS 300W AND I ADDED LAST TIME TO MY 400W HPS.....IT DOES HELP .....BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO READ THE SPECS THE DISTANCE FROM THE TOP OF THE CANOPY IS CRUCIAL YOU WANNA BE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT BLEACHING.... SO IF YOUR PLANTS IN FLOWER YOU WANNA BE LIKE 10 INCHS BUT IN SEEDLING LIKE 24 AND VEG LIKE 20 THIS IS LED FOR A SMALL 300W ACUTALLY 180W ..... NOW THE OTHER LIGHT 150W HPS I CANT TELL IF IT HAD GLASS ON IT BUT MINE DOES AND IT GETS A LIL WARM SO THAT HELPS WITH HEAT IF YOUR USING AN ATTIC OR......HEAT IS CRUCIAL IN THE WINTER......THESE LIGHT DONT GET TO HOT I USE THE HAND TEST YOU CAN BE ALMOST TOUCHING THE PLANT ...YOUR FAN NEEDS TO BE ON THE PLANTS TO MAKE THEM SHAKE A LIL THIS HELPS BUILD NICE STRONG STEMS AND CIRCULATE THE TENT WITH NICE FRESH 02........
MAKE SURE YOUR TENT IS ABOVE 70 DEGREES THE PLANTS LOSE THERE ABILITY TO ABSORB NUTRIENTS AS THIS TEMP DROPS....
I USE TO PLAY WITH PH PENS AND EC METERS BUT NOW IM ALL PH PERFECT NUTES LIFE IS WAY EASIER PEACE......
