OK so currently i am running 300w led (150 real watts pulled) and a real 90w ufo led and i have been looking at adding another grow light. I am currently torn between a 150 watt hps and a 275w (150 true watt) led ufo. The reason for the smaller hps is i have run a 400w hps but had alot of issues in the warmer months with heat. Now with the current set up i am able to maintain a temp of 70-80 deg with a single desk fan and would love to know if yall think the room could handle the heat output of the 150w hps or if i should simply add another led.
Any info or tips will be great and thx in advance guys.

Tha'ts a tough question to answer. It really depends on if you needed to, do you have the ability to cool the tent from an outside air source? If you don't, then it might be tough to add additional lighting.

imo, either stick with the smaller hps lamp (maybe a 250?) or go to COB LED's, I'd definitely skip any of the blurple LED's for flowering. I use those for vegging but gave up on them for flowering a couple of years ago. They just don't cut it compared to hps, CMH, or COBs.

the 150 watt hps will be a total joke. there will be hardly any light . even if you set the bulbs directly on top of the plants pointless. go for the led . I would never go smaller then a 400 watt hps. my opinion .
