Using LED, hps & mh for flower in a 4x8 tent

[KushKrusher]

I'm considering doing led&hps lights in my tent for flower. I have a spider farmer 4000 led now that draws about 400 watts at the wall in a 4x8 tent. I think I'm going to put that in the middle up as high as possible and I want to put a 600 or 1000 watt hps on each side. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

Hi KushKrusher - and welcome to ICMag

With 2 x 1000W hps, the LED´s will not make a big difference, I guess.
Maybe 2 x 600W hps will do it


Best luck - keep us informed

I think it's a useful idea. As long as your plants can take all the light. I like the idea of different spectrums being covered...like getting the best of all.

I run a 600 hps, a 450 actual draw blurple and 4 auto cobs (55 or 65w, I'm not even sure)

i use quantum boards mixed in with 1k hps's. They definitely made a difference.

Are you running your 1k's in a 4x4 with that extra led?

No way man. Big room 11x17 with multiple 1ks and qb boards in between each hps

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the input. I ended up buying 2 horticulture 1000 watt super hps lights. I have decided to flower my 4x8 using only the 2) 1000 watt hps Lights, I have them turned down to 750 right now. I am going to flower the same stains in a 4x4 with my spider farmer 4000 led and do a side by side. I’m using LC soil mix 2 and the guano tea feed. So far it’s going great plants are happy and everyone is complimenting.

you will be happy with the 2 1000w lights for flower, that and the teas you are off to great start.
