[ghostbhoy]

Hi folks just a bit of advice need if anyone could give thier opinion, im starting 5 autos using the lights stated in title, will thier be any problems when using both CFL and LEDs together? They are both full/dual spec. I have read bits and pieces but would appreciate any advice from folks who have done this or are more in the know than myself [emoji16] thanks.

If it's a single CFL with reflector, watch your heat, normally CFL can be close to plant but the bigger bulbs get hot. What's your led light draw watts? Usually 600w Chinese lights are about 200w. If it is then I would put that in the middle and a 100w CFL on each side. Might still struggle for good coverage with 5 girls unless you keep them short with lst or topping.
