Mixing LED and HPS light

[Zonked]

I need to upgrade the lighting in my 5x5 tent. I currently have a 1000w & 600w LED. I'm looking at adding another light for about $200 cad. This gives me two options than I can see. Vivosun 600 HPS kit or the Philzon 1500W LED. Any recommendations? And after this light would you consider that sufficient to optimize yield from 4 plants as far as lighting is concerned? Thanks

Why mix HPS and led, just curious of yer thoughts

In a 5x5 I'd say based on those lights you would need at least 4 to get full coverage

I thought now that I have more room to work with and heat isn't an issue I may get more real watts out of the HPS for the same cost. I dont want to replace my current LEDs only add more lighting.

HPS is a good option, I think better than led or blurple lights

Have u looked into Quantum Boards at all, that's all I use now and I started with HPS

I added a 315wCMH to 200w COB in a 4x4...plants loving it. Def within your budget.

Your in the same boat I am my room is 5x6 (yeah we was high when reading the tape) trying to find the right footprint is a nitemare I was looking at the philzon 1500 to but the footprint is only 3x3 for flower so even with 2 of them I still have a 2 foot dark spot now for your budget look at the 1500w light that starts with a y on the big a site they (claim) it will flower a 5x5 and coverage is more than that in veg for 150 bucks think I'm gonna gamble on it now I absolutely love my 315 CMH and think QBs are the future but there still expensive but I'd love to try some hint hint sponsors welcome haha
