Mixing hps and led for flower

Howdy I'm flowering out some hso b.d, blue lemon thai, and hso chocolate mint og. About a 9 week veg in a 8x4 tent. Ok so the plan was to flower under 2 mars II 1200 watters but money became an issue so I had to buy a 600 watt hps for the other side. Still have the 1 mars 1200. I'm worried the spectrums might clash I dunno any thoughts? Maybe someone that has done this before?

Shouldn't be any problem as far as "clashing" is concerned. It will be interesting to see which side will do better. One thing for sure you will see differences on each end where the light from the other source is indirect.

Yea? I guess I'm worried a bit if I rotate the spectrums might shock the plants and make them hermie or some shit. Would be a huge loss

Yea a lot more penetration on the hps side I'm betting

The only way it would go hermie would be if it got a light leak on it in the dark period. As long as they are getting enough light they won't freak out.

The more spectrums of light the better.

Sweet. That's what I was thinking I'm just being extra careful being I realised I had my timer on 11on 13 off for the first 2 weeks. Just switched them to 12/12 no prob so far no naners

I would keep it at 11/13. Doc. Who recommended it to me and others. I'm going to switch to 11/13 in a week and my plants are in week 4. You should finish with 11/13 then take some of the same strains and do those 12/12 and see if you notice a difference in yield, quality and flowering time.

Also on my new room I want to use hps and CMH mix of lighting to hopefully achieve better yields, flowering times, terpene & cannabinoid levels and overall better growth. Not sure if I'll get all those but I'm doing a lot of research on the subject currently.

I'm not familiar with CMH lighting?

CMH= Ceramic Metal Halide. It's said it outperforms watt for watt any other lighting to date. That's just others opinion though. In the future I plan to try em out in conjunction with DE or LEP (Light Emitting Plasma). The spectrum on the CMH are awesome.
