Ok so I'm going to be doing a dished scrog I'll have a 1000w hps and I wanted to also put in a 400w hps in for about 6 hours in the middle of the light cycle, how much added benefit will there be from doing it this way, does anyone else have experience using this for growing?

why not just keep it on for the entire cycle?

because I'm trying to manipulate resin production by trying to make it more like mid-day lighting giving the plant more time to adjust, giving it a clear peak time, then a cool down before lights out.

I alowayse wondered if this would be a good or bad idea but neverthought of asking

and apparently no one thought of really answering

Use a 400 mh instead of hps to mimic the blue'r light of the mid-day sun. Seems like it would be more natural that way.

the hps's I have have the added blue spectrum

YES!!! finally someone has come out with this idea also.. I Had a 10x15 foot room about 2 years ago i got 2 light movers for it and had the light moving acrross room... i had 1000w hps ON 12/12 and I addED a 1000w mh, I turn on mh 4 hours into the day and 4 hourse before end of day.. it worked absolutly BEUTIFULL!!!! i couldnt tell you if thc level were higher considering i have no way to test, but the buds were absolutly bigger!!!!

if your gonna experiment, try experimenting with the lighting regimen, like 11 hours of dark and 13 on, or something. i started an experiment like this but got shut down by my ol lady. had family comin.

Haha but I don't want to, I want to experiment with adding light. during a 12/12. When I figure that out, then I'll start doing other experiments with the lights. One at a time.
