When shooting under fluorescents and using a grey card to time out the green, do you also need to match your other lighting units to the fluorescents?

If those units aren’t matched (HMI or tug) by taking out the green are color temps shifted?
 
Color-correcting the green out of fluorescents requires shifting the whole image in the opposite direction of green, so non-greenish lighting becomes pink (magenta). So first you have to add green to everything else so that it all matches the greenish fluorescents and then you color-correct or white-balance green out. If you want everything to be neutral in color.
