I'm running a 24/0 Veg cycle for 8 babies under 2 2' 24w T5's and I have room amongst my flowering plants under the 1000w hps for the seedlings at the moment...

I'm wondering if 12 hours under 1 spectrum and 12 hours under a weaker/different spectrum would have a bad effect on my plants?

I'm just tryna turn the T5's off for the half of the day that the HPS is running, plus the HPS would give them a nice growth boost

Yeah, it won't be ideal, for sure. They are two drastically different spectrums, and will stress the plants, to some degree. If it's only short term(a weeks or so), I wouldn't worry about it, but I wouldn't do it for an entire grow.
