high blue ratio grows plants more compact, tighter nodes

been amending various lamps (MH, HPS, MH+HPS, CFL 6500k & 7200k) with various monochromatic diodes and can say CFL + 660nm/730nm grows way better. Looking more happy, clones root better. Plus how efficient these diodes get in terms of raw light output.

Think these two will work well together?
I am having no issues running a 1000w HPS in a 4x4. So far the plants stretch 3 ft with the light always on max. They stop about a foot from it and wont get closer lol. . . i mean its a 1000w hps in a 4x4. Anyways, im thinking its still not enough light, and I have a tsl 2000 that I could slide in there too. Here are the exact waves for both my lights. Im more less needing input on how these spectrums line up. the heat will be no issue. So its a 250w light also. I think 1250w worth of light should work well. I just know 1000w isnt enough.

You would think lol. . .yet I dont even get leaf burn yet. Buds are 1ft away and the leafs look fine. I gotta go with my gut lol. . MORE MORE MORE. Now im not saying I dont have a few deffeciencies up top, they demand quite alot and i go about 3 days without touching my res. From my perspective, ill never have enough light.
