CFL Lighting Help!

[Autofacade]

So my plant is in the process of budding. Currently running a 300w mars hydroLED but to give the buds a bit more light I have rigged up a 200w cfl dual light that was lying around. One side the elements are a blue white the other half a red hue. I have all the red side facing her. I've not really ever played with them properly. I have the light around 4" away from the plant.

At the moment the tent temp is at 28°c and holding thanks Christ! It has increased the tent temp by 5°c.

My question is. Have I got the light close enough or 2 far. Am I right by facing the red side to the plant for budding? What's the highest tempt I can have my tent cos this mofo is kicking out some heat!

Why do you have the LED lights so high and the CFL so low?

LED is suppose to be 12"-18" for flowering apparently according to mars hydro. And the CFL I thought had to be until you feel the warmth on the back of your hand that's how close it should be.

I have no experience with CFL, but I wouldn't want to add radiated heat to my plants unless it was below 65F/18C. As far as LED's, I would drop to 12" unless/until the plant starts to negatively react. Leaf burn is a good indicator for learning the efficacy range of your light (and not a fatal growing issue) When/if you see leaf burn just raise the light....
