Is it a bad idea to use LEDs and Full Spectrum (Pink) at the same time?
I figure the more light the better....

I don’t see that it would be harmful.
I’m with you on the more light the better.

I think that is fine just kkep in mind that blue light is mostly for plant growth and red light for flowering.

I have t5ho a four light canopy.
I think it will work ok because I bought a house so my trees are now in the basement.
I used to have a double wide south facing window that gave me great natural light and I used t5 and led for supplemental lighting.
Now there’s no windows so I have to have a better light rig.

My LEDs didn’t really do too much for me but I still use them for low light house plants.
I prefer to give the ficus the higher lighting.
The old set up here.

Still just 4 4ft florescents on year 2.
I replace em after 3 or so.
That LED herb light will keep my best tropical as soon featured in the AMcoffee thread alive

The color spectrum shifts dramatically after a year on all fluorescent bulbs, particularly grow bulbs. The human eye cannot tell so much. You will have much better results if you replace them at a year, two at most.

I run "daylight white" LED, slightly blueish. It sharpens the mind.

I haven't seen a clear blue sky in two weeks! The closest it has been was this:
No offence, but I'm keeping my lights! I need those blues to counter the blues.
