hi

I have a couple of gorilla shorty 3x3' tents. I've run multiple grows and feel like I'm leaving something on the table. in one I have a cmh 315 3100k and in the other a California light works 550 led with a controller so I can adjust spectrum and output. I have been thinking about either combining the two in one tent. or add something else but I don't know what. can anyone recommend a light that I could add to put things over the top. maybe I just add a 150 hps or a ???? these plants just started week 5 of flower today
thanks

150W HPS lights are really really reallllly crappy... They draw way more power than they output.

With those lights, you should be fine on each tent really, and if you were to combine both of them, you'd be WAAAY over the top

any opinion on combining them and dimming the led down to say a low percentage of its output? maybe run the led at 20 to 30% plus the cmh 315 at full output?
