Should I get a third grow light?

Hi again,
I have $300 to spend on my grow and I already have a few lights, I have a $180 600w LED (276w draw) and 4 4ft cfl t5 lights. Do you think it'd be beneficial to get a 250w hid light to get a fuller spectrum? if not what are some things I could buy to help my grows
 
I use t5 in veg, The led light will do fine for the bloom the hid will help but I suggest getting through a couple of grows and see how the led performs( how big and hard your buds get with leds}good luck and enjoy those nugs.
 
Is there some kind of light that has the spectrums I lack with a 600w viparspectra led and 2x t5 6500k 2x t5 3000k? I'm trying to find a method or light that will help me grow really good bud in a 3'x3' tent.
 
Your light sounds great . I am just saying do a couple of grows before you spend your money on something you may not need.I use a 1000 w hps and added leds to give the girls a total light spectrum.I have also noticed that you will get different yields from different strains.
 
Your LED should provide all the light spectrum you need. Personally, I feel the T5's are not needed in bloom and won't penetrate deep enough anyway. If you're set on another light now (I understand. Time to go to the toy store - yipeee!!) I would get another LED. However, this depends on how many plants you're growing at a time. If it's just one, or two plants, save the money for now. MTC
