Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

3000 watt power use This is my first time using such a powerful light in my opinion, 3000 watts seems overkill but that's what i want. The question IS, is it better to have 1-2 plants under the 3000 watt or worth it to manage 4 at a higher distance? Cheers. Don't keep techniques in mind.

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.
