? about supplimenting w/ 630/660nm light in the form of leds to aid hps for flower
"everything stated in this thread is of a hypothetical nature"

in a room space that roughly 10x8 ft, home to 10 ladies, and containing 2 - 600w hortilux enhanced HPS lights.....what is someone wanted to suppliment those lights with some LED lights.

ive done a decent amount of research, but havent found much on combining the 2, which seems stupid when its become apparent that LED lights in the 630nm or 660nm have some amazing abilities to increase resin production, and HPS is best for growing monsters.

i guess my reason for this thread is, if your going to add 630/660 nm red to you hps lights to increase quality, how much light should be used? should multiple lights be bought so that they can get dropped lower and closer to the canopy? what type/distributor of led light is best used for utilizing the 630 or 660 spectrum?

Honestly I was in the same boat you were before I decided to go with CFL's. LED lights still have bugs in the system, mainly since they're still fairly new in the industry. I had one and it didn't do anything, so I use it as a side foliage light in conjunction with my CFL's which has been doing well (or an HPS in your case). The decent panels are like $300+ unfortunately. I've found some cheaper priced UFO lights on ebay for 125w with red, blue, and white spectrum all around $100-$150 for the whole unit. Ebay, in my opinion, is your best bet man.
