HID + LED = Great Bud
I'm no longer flowering with both, but I will be again soon as I saw much bigger yields vs. HID only. The 90w LED isn't going to do much vs. a 1000w HPS, but the additional spectrum it provides your plants alone is worth it.

Thanks for the input everyone, it has helped a lot.
"He" has new plans for his grow room now.
The amount of plants has been cut down to 30. The dimensions of the room are as follows; 7'x6'x6' : 42'sq. and 252 cubic ft. With 2000w a rough estimation of lumens per sq. foot (probably outdated) would be 5,714 (Not counting LED)
He has purchased (2)1000w HID lighting systems. 1 With a 1000w MH Bulb and (1) 1000w HPS bulb + spare. Currently the idea is to run cool tubes and push the air out with 6" Inline Fans by CAN rated at 270 cubic feet per minute for each 1000w bulb. However, one fan, at least to my understanding is enough to do the room. Is there a way to run the ducting through both cool tubes and use 1 CAN fan? Also, running the cool tubes is not a definite, if I can be pointed to a quality air cooled reflector it would be much appreciated. My only local shop is HTGsupply, and I don't think they carry the SuperSun2 so that's my real handicap.
For the undergrowth, he has purchased (10) 13w LED Spotlights, 5 Blue & 5 Red. Mounted throughout the room in a X pattern, or like a 5 on a die on low slanted boxes (see picture for details). They are pointed in alternate directions covering each others back. The idea is to promote growth and not neglect the undersides of the plants.
THANKS A MILLION
This picture does not show to rotation and covering of lights, I can't rotate it exactly the way I want but you get the idea.
