I have about 350w of flourescent light right now... somewhere around 65000 lumens- 30 plants. Theyre all little, and im not keeping all of them. But Im considering getting a 400w hps to flower with. Should I keep the CFL's in there too, and use both while flowering?

I use the 4' T5 for veg, it allows me to keep it an inch from the tops at a very even dispersment of light. but i am kind of mixed on the 1 inch thing. cause i keep reading that you need to lift the light b/w 6 and 8'' to avoid burning them. My light is very cool though so i leave it slammed on them,lol

HPS will be 2-4 feet from the plant tops. Flows will be 6-12 inches from the plant tops. You cannot use both light systems together.

Why not? Have the HPS above the plants, and the cfl's around all the sides, bringing light to the lower branches?

Side light is always an option, but that is not what you ask about. I personally use top light and place CFLs on a 2X4, which lays on top of my plant buckets. One CFL is then in the middle of four plants.

I dont think youre understanding what im asking. Is it okay to use both HPS and flurescent light while flowering? Would I be better off using solely the HPS, or should I run the cfl's, since I already have them all?
