CMH mixed with UFO LED

I'm getting ready to try my first grow with CMH lighting. I'm wondering if mixing in a UFO LED during flower would be beneficial? What I read says that's the only downside to CMH is there isn't as much red as HPS. I'm trying CMH for heat and utility reasons.

Is there a plant on the outskirts of your light and tent that could benefit from some extra light, if so park your ufo directly above :-)

Would depend on the specific ufo. Most though are not as efficient as your CMH but added light is indeed added light. As said, it may fill out a bit of coverage if you want to use it.

I have under cabinet led strip lights that put out over 100 lumens per watt on the cheap. A few of those would probably even be better. Maybe I’ll get a couple more of them and grow a few herbs for fun.
