This week I upgraded my lights to HLG's 260 Quantam board. That I got from Potamac Hydroponics. I set it 34 inches above the canopy and have it set about 1/4 strength for now. They will stay on 24 hr lights till I flower. I tried training my plants and see good results despite snapping two branches. I snipped a few fan leaves to open them up to more light. The re-vegs will get trained this week also. I also started using foxfarm microb brew and they are getting full dose of nitrogen and loving it. All but the one I think is a boy have been topped at the beginning of week. They all are responding well. Lookiny forward to some more topping this week.
So you have 16 x 20w bulbs so 320w of total power. 45w of led is recommended for 1 square foot so for 9 square feet you need 9 × 45 = 405w so you are not so far and I'v seen nice harvest with less than that. However to maximise you led light distribution I recommend you to take a look at @Athos diaries as he his also using led bulb with a method he call screw in led : you just need to remove the opaque part of the bulb ( I think it is the bulb it self) to only keep the light but check his diaries it's better explained than I can do 😊
Learning to control my environment and how to maximize my light. My last ladies went through a lot of abuse in veg and still wanted to flower crazy. If I dont screw it up these long legged ladies will reward me with some great bud. They have an amazing streach that I didnt expect. I'm going to scrog them low and stuff my tent edge to edge then dump as much light as they can take and pray for fat tops.
