I have 4 plants going in a 5x5 tent with a 600 watt hps. I also have a 315 cmh that I used for veg but cant afford a second one right now so I am thinking about using the hps and cmh together.

Has anybody used this combo and what were the results?

I am definitely going to try it but i have a parabolic in there right now so just waiting for my smaller reflector to arrive so I can fit both.

My temps are sitting at 70 with just the 600 so some heat from the 315 shouldn't cause temps to rise too much.

70 seems a little low to me anyways.

Yea i usually like to stay around 75-78 so i figured adding more light is a better idea than turning on the heater.

This is my first time using a 315 cmh so im hoping it will add some frost and hps will add some bulk.

I will use the Phillips 4200k bulb that came with the kit I bought. Ill have another cmh in the next 2 months but ill order the elite agro bulb with that one so i can have mixed spectrums.
