Lighting Do I need supplemental lighting?

[Imagine]

Currently running in a converted closet that is 2.75 x 5.5 x 8 feet. Mars Hydro sp 3000, Infinity 6" exhaust, humidifier and heater.

I'm in the middle of a grow with three girls in 5 gal fabric which is going really well so far, but I'm thinking I may need to add a little in order to run four next round. What do you think?

SP3000 is perfect for that space,no need for more IMO once it's at 100%.

You may just want to play around with supplemental lights that provide spectrum not on the Spider. Blue in veg, Far Red to initiate flowering and stretch, UVA for terpenes and UVB to enhance THC?

Thanks guys. I hadn't thought about just specific spectrums. I'll have more homework to do now. Lol

Maybe add a little what? There's a lot you could do but it depends on the reason
as to how it should be used.

The footprint of the closet just seems a bit large to run four plants while in flower with that light. I thought that I could shift that light to one end and maybe add a cob to the other end to get more coverage. Then again, I may be overthinking it as I sometimes have a tendency to do.

That's what I was trying to figure out. The PPFD chart claims strong numbers even in the outside of a 2x4 with me assuming it isn't incredibly terrible on the edges.

I would ask @Marshydro their opinion

You guys really don't like Google do you ?



These are real PAR numbers from Cocoforcannabis site. You guys really need to bookmark that site. I am serious.

Can i also take this opportunity to be the asshole that points out this is far far far too much light for autoflowers anyway. There is no way you will be running this thing on full power with autos, the intensity of the light coming out of that single bar is incredibly strong. Think COB like. I know coz i used to use their SP-250 and this is way way more intense. 120 Watts in a 2x4 is the highest i could run that thing, any more and the plants would go all nuts. Just sayin'...
