as in i should just take them down, or it wont hurt but could help?
No the CFLs will help, just probably not that much. Something you could try is setting the lights on two different timers so that the CFLs are on steady for however many hours you are using, 18 or whatever, but the LEDs get an hour break in the middle of the photoperiod or after every 6 hours or so. That would be similar to how in nature sometimes it's clear and sometimes clouds go by. It may counter the midday depression effect. I've done it before, but with a 150 HPS in the middle of a 3'x1.5' cab and a 23 w CFL at each upper side. I had a hunch that weak light during the break would be preferable to full darkness because it wouldn't actually be changing the photoperiod, just the light level during part of it. The plants grew well enough but I didn't have a side by side comparison or anything so I can't say for sure if it's better than full dark or than no break at all. The CFLs will also supply a small amount of UV light, which may be beneficial.
