Flowering with HPS...can I add red T5's for side light?

Used a nice T5 for vegging and got great results. (Also used CFL's with it).
Replaced all that with HPS for flowering and since it's a little crowded, the light doesn't penetrate all the way to the bottom leaves. Wondering if it's worth it to bring back my T5 unit but with red tubes and hang sideways to light the lower leaves?
I'm almost into my 4th week of flowering.

yes 2700k temp would be better for flowering but having a 5000k temp floro in the mix will still be beneficial.
