smoking and usage

We've had our 4 plants in flowering for the past week and it just occured to me that now is when HPS really shines. So should we turn off our CFL's and flourescents, or keep them on? It's a 250 watt HPS, should that matter.

If you are saying you have a HPS and wonder about running the fluoros with it, the answer is yes -- more light is always better, and the fluoros probably have more blue spectrum in them which combined with the HPS will provide more full spectrum coverage that is very good for the plants. The only downside will be a higher electric bill.
