Would mixing in one 600 watt MH light with two 1000 watt HPS lights result in better growth?I was thinking about putting the smaller Mh in between the 2 big lights for exxtra lighting.Im thinking this would improve all around growth,but curious to see what everyone else has to say.

Sure it would. It would provide light to a larger area.
Or more blue light in flower for growth.

If you are talking about hitting the right spectrum by mixing the two then the rule of thumb is two HPS to one MH same wattage placed close together

I tried a mix and got good results in my Waterfarm grow.

Yeah, Chase had a thread- importance of mixed light- that explained the difference with adding blue spectrum to flowering plants. Its a good read. Convinced me to add a 4oomh to my 1000hps...

Check out those agromax hps bulbs. They add 30% blue spectrum to the hps. You'll get more even coverage without red or blue hotspots.
