Hi, don't you have the indication from your manufacturer? My Marshydro TS1000 is 150 W and for plants very similar to yours, it's about 55-60cm from canopy and looks good. I wont go to 20 cm. Also, the LED lights are not comparable from power consumption. The key factor to compare is the quantity of light (PPF) and how the light is 'spreaded' at a certain height (PPFD). Full ripe plants can withstand as much as 900 umol/m^2/s, but I guess that's too much for a seedling as your.
Maybe you can try there if your model is cited https://420expertguide.com/grow-light/cannabis-grow-light-height/.
As for the second question, probably you would have to hang the HPS lamp way higher than the LED lamp, especially for a seedling. However I think that during late veg/flowering it could be beneficial, I don't see any conflict if the height is appropriate
Good growing!

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojasEstas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?
