I have just flipped to flower so I have now turned the led up to 100% (220w) and also added a 100w mars hydro led will this be ok Im assuming the light will blend into each over but just want to make sure it makes a difference to the yield instead of electric bill a pic below ignore the bike pedal the light kept tilting

I think it's okay. I've seen many growers do it. It looks like you have plenty of distance between the lights and the plants, which should help. You could use the free Photone phone app to check the light level. Be sure to watch the plant for signs of light stress.

320W of full spectrum LED’s will grow far more than people think.

I’ve harvested 23oz with 385W in a 4X4’ tent.

I imagine the light will be different and some tweaking might be necessary. You can adjust the power and height of the lights. You can also move the plants. Plants between the lights are most likely to become light stressed. Download the Photone app to check the light levels.

rule of thumb is 30 watts minimum of quality LED lighting .
Example is a 4x4 tent= 16 square feet of grow space times 30 watts per foot = 480 watts,
The expectation is one gram of finished product per watt of LED lighting .
I have heard of some growers bragging of 3 grams per watt.
I get about 1.5 grams per watt.. I am just now harvesting Bolo ( Sin City seeds ) (regular seeds)

I assemble my LED lighting I use the HLG 2v288 Rspec quantum Boards .
My DIY LED lighting cost is about 0.60 cents per watt
