Adding supplemental light during flower

Currently running hlg 260v2 xl 10 days since flip. How much is too much. I will soon have some extra lights in the way of 2 hlg 65. Will adding them be to much or is there a good supplemental red spectrum light I can add to help boost bud density. I have 2 Durban Poisons I want to give them everything they need or can use to become the best I have ever had. Lol

You can find far red strips like I added alongside my QBs or you can also grab far blues for the end of flower. Look on Cutter for them.

How big is your grow space? Total flux over area will give you light density numbers. As far as adding anything, 660nm would be ideal.

2 x 5 closet. Are there any builds I could do or lights that just offer the 660nm. I have no problem with veg just want to add anything extra I can to get the most out of flower.

Cutter and hlg both offer red supplement strips. The hlg strips probably easier to get right now, as cutter is located in Australia. They are still shipping though. I checked hlg, they’re out of stock on the qb 11 in 660nm, but they have qb 18. Would be pretty expensive to build with them for your space.

You could email cutter and get specs for these. 4 of them would be plenty, you could do 2 end to end on each side of your space. He doesn’t list voltage and current, if I had those I can find you suitable driver
