    as my bro says the more light the better and with your cfl,s you can get into lower places where the hps anit hitting so well (lower canopy )and as you know they can be allmost right up to the plant ect good luck and god bless
    Fact not Fiction

    Add the blue CFL but only if you can get it close enough to the plants but without blocking the light of the HPS. The blue spec will help keep the internodes tight and increase trichome production, but to be of any benefit the CFL has to be very close to the plants, if you can achieve this without blocking the light of the HPS then it's worthwhile doing.
