Best lighting option for my situation

My flower room is 13ft long and 11ft wide. I'm looking at running a continuous harvest, 2 plant p/2 weeks. I am running everything in ROLS. I'm trying to figure out my best option for light this whole flower room up. I have 2 100 watt rapid led puck lights and a 1000 w hps in the middle. I'd like to phase out the 1000w, as it killing my light bill. Any suggestions as to what my best option for lighting would be

That space will cost you at least 2 grand to light with LED thats worth a damn.
dont mind me i just saw measurements
get a kit or two from hlg
That's the conclusion I seem to be coming to as well.
When you say "kit" you're talking about one of those DIY lighting setups? I dont have any experience with building them

2 of either of these would give you a very solid 4x4 footprint and still do pretty well spaced out a bit more. The HLG kits are literally just clip a few wires in connectors, theyre super simple to put together.

Hell ya. Then he could always add a third later if he wanted. His room would be a lot cleaner looking too without the light hood ducting.

My plan is to keep buying the puck lights and orbit my bigger ones in the middle, if you can see what I'm trying to describe. Would it be better to get 4 200 watt hps and spread them out. Put the puck lights in between?

Just looked up your Rapid led lights, and they look pretty decent. More hps would work, but if you want to use less power I would get more led instead, but that's just me.

Ditch the 1000w and unfortunately upgrade to two 600w (one that’s high in red, and one mix spectrum hortilux) that will handle your Six flowering girls in rotation. You have far too much space to go with anything less in my opinion

I'd drop a timber Redwood VS in there. Perfect to replace the old 1000 watter with only 640 watts.

I might consider putting the plants / light in the corner so the walls can reflect a little light back on those sides at least or consider hanging some side lighting since those plants are probably gonna end up rather tall. Side lighting rocks. Then it's actually worth growing a tall plant indoors, otherwise it's best to scrog them out and lolipop them.

I've been eyeing up timber grow lights as an option, but the upfront cost is the only thing preventing me from pulling the trigger on it all.

Id go with the HLG lighting and also use the COBS you already have. The Quantum boards spread the light out VERY well, the Cobs concentrate the light where you want them to, especially the single cobs you already have.

If you didn't already have good Cobs I'd recommend an HLG/Timber Cob solution.

I'm NOT wasted this morning, lucid af. :P
