Ever heard of 1100W par pro HPS bulbs? Spectrum question

First post ever,
The question is should i use 2x the par pro at 1100w or one par pro and one hortilux at 1000w (wich have more blue spectrum and less IR) i have attached the spectrum graph of both. So far, the par pro seems to penetrate the canopy noticeably more.

If both brand of light should be used, wich side should i put the hortilux? I have some light loss/blow by on the side of the smaller plant.

They are at day 14 of 12/12
Grow setup
I have a 4x8 tent with one big blue god plant (blueberry x god bud) and one more regular sized critical orange punch. In canada i am limited in plant count to four, the blue god plant was given to me ready to flower when i had just started the CoP, so naturally i let them grow to fill the space.
Grow medium is coco/perlite, drip system waters every hour when the light are on and twice when light are off.
Nutes is Remo’s full line with AN additives (sensizym, bud factor x, bud blood+pirhana+voodoo juice at transition, will use overdrive and nirvana later) with green planet rezin and terpinator. (I have so many left over bottles i wont buy back half of them)

Since im limited in plant count (i have 2 other plants elsewhere, a mother plant multi strained grafted running all year to clone and one in veg) i do SCROG, both plants have had all fan leaves defoliated at day 0 and the thicker canopy one will be defoliated again at day 18-20.

temperature ranges from 72-78 humidity 40-50

Thank you for your time.

I'm not sure how much difference you'll see, but I'd use the Hortilux. I wasn't sure until I saw the 2000K rating on the Par Pro. That's very red, and I doubt you need that much with one of them in there already.

The smaller plant should benefit from the blue in the Hortilux.

Not alot of interest in HPS these days it seems
I can't believe it took since Monday to get a response.
I re read the thread a couple of times but couldn't comment
I had no exp

Heheh, yeah, there were what, 60 views?

I wasn't so sure what the big difference would be, but I decided to come down on the side of the blue range. Red is good, but that's a lot of red.
 
I never had any complaints about growing with Hortilux, great bulb and a awesome spectrum for flower. Never heard of par pro though. I'd stick with the Hortilux.
