Does a Red CFL or two help for budding?

I have a 150w HPS going 12/12. I was just wondering if it would make a difference at all to add a red cfl to hang by the plants? Just a curious question. Thanks all...

sure, every little bit helps, i'd use blue spectrum though, mixed spectrums produce much better results than just using one or the other imo.

blue is best for veg and red for flowering, it stimulates flowering growth apparently
