I'm confused, because you say you are getting a blooming spectrum, but then you ask if you should also buy an HPS. An HPS is the red spectrum, which is for flowering or *blooming*. MH (Metal Halide) is the blue spectrum that is optimal for vegetation. Technically, you could do a whole grow under each, but not advised.

Hey Jay, 1st thing U have to do is ask the correct question.....its not clear as to what your asking, might be why U havent gotten an answer.

Do you think those lights would be sufficient enough for 4 plants or should I include the hps so it gets enough lights.

Hea bro a HPS is a blooming bulb that running off a ballast and hood, best for growing. T5s also have bloom bulbs ok for growing. Not sure what your running no pics but if you can upgrade to a HPS you'll pull a bigger yield. Hope this helps keep it green!
