    Add CFL to HPS

    Hey all,

    I was was wondering if there would be any benefit to adding some CFL lights to a grow tent measuring 60x60x150cm that has a 250w HPS lamp.

    I was thinking any additional light can't be a bad thing but not quite sure if there are any dow sides.

    regards

          Keep them close.

        Yes just like flockshot said keep them very close. Cfls don't produce much heat keep em about 2inchs away. Put ur fingers between the plant and the bulb and put the bulb were there isn't much heat usualy 2-4 inchs is perfect I use a 65w cfl and I keep it at 2inchs.
