T5 with led.. Help

[Abn420]

So im doing some light mixing 600 watt leds with the t5 ho 8 bolbs. They have been under the leds with the veg and bloom on.. Just put the t5 in between them should i run the leds on veg and flower with the t5 or just on veg with white and blue?. My plants are in veg about a month and a half old?

I’m mixing two 400 wat mh with one led (400w) going by the fact it’s brighter than the mh. And my led in full spectrum. So no switching. And my plants have responded favorably. Don’t know if this helps. But it’s my first time trying to mix them as well. But I would think it will be fine if you leave em running full spectrum. I’ll post a couple pics of my young one tomorrow n post it.

Would possibly try different ideas like a separate T5 area to the LEDs. T5's need to go closer for me it would be hard to mix efficiently without blocking the LEDs.

Ive got them at the same level. How close are the t5s suppose to be?

The lights

Six inch to ten inch if you got a lot of them in reflectors.

Without reflectors they loose half the light easy.

There all in reflectors

Seems good, those LEDs look like blurples so maybe they can all get the same height, might put the other led so both are on one side of the T5, that t shape isn't tent shape much.

Wouldnt the leds make up the difference being the same level?

Im about to get 2 more an have 2 on both sides.

So I cut my two lonely girls today, and they look great now all I gotta do is reload the room with the veg plants n start over. These are the young ones that are going in. ( ya I’m gonna veg for another 10-14 days) they’re 20in tall now n I’m looking for 2-1/2 feet then switch to flower.

The led’s I’m using are marshydro tsl2000 and I’ve gotten very nice results.

Results of t5 and viperspectrum leds

Curious. Would the spectrum of the t5s play a roll? 6500, vs. 5500, vs. 2700.
