hi there,
im using a 300 watt dual spectrum cfl for vegging and flowering,
the thing is i can only use my hps for short periods of time (1/2 hours)
would it be beneficial to give my plants 2 hours a day under the hps and the rest of the light cycle under the cfl's?

for example my cfl's turn on at 8am i could switch to the hps around 12 midday untill 2pm then back to the cfl, kind of like the midday sun


heres a couple of pics, one of each of my cupboards, (cfl & hps)


by the way the temp in the hps cupboard does say 94 in that pic but i have since added a larger fan and am able to get the temp to stay at 79/81

thanks in advance for any help!!

the cfl cupboard is 300watt dual spectrum box size roughly 24 inches wide 24 inches high 12 inches deep
