Add CFL to HPS

[KorbenDallas]

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

I also add cfls to my hps tent. I currently harvest a grow in a 4x4 that had two 1000watt HIDS at 10inchs hps, 10k mh I also added 1 led panel and 2cfls the grow came out amazing

Sweet, I'll add some and see how it goes.

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.

Thanks for the advice. I got 2 x 65w gonna get them set up today.
