not enough info boss-whats the room size?how many plants?what size of t-5?
ive used t-5 from seed to flower,also ran them together,but the trouble I ran into was ,,the t-5 can hang way closer to the plants,diminishing the hps greatly

got silver haze producing budz on fan leaves its perty cool
that's good your digging the process,, i didn't ask, what bulbs are in the t-5?? what you maybe experiencing is a dual spectrum
they do have a dual arc bulb for your 1000 in flower, i think its 600hps and 400 mh in 1 bulb, have a buddy who is trying one now,, so far he likes it

So I don't have to clog purge forum.
I got a 400 watt hps set up but I want to add some fluorescent bulbs to help out in a corner but I have some questions, can I just buy some warm bulbs and throw them in a unit I have from my garage? Or do I have to buy a ballast to make sure I can power the bulbs?

I have no knowledge around cfl's at all. However there is this cat here, named LightAddict, that does some cool things with them. Check out his grow journal and you'll see great pic's of his set up, usage of space and lighting.

CFL's have the ballast built into the bulb unless they are the tube (T12 T8 T5) type.
