I currently have a setup but am working on a second with improvements and wanted advice on led grow lights. Currently, I have King led 1000 watt which seems to be working well but could use a little more for 6x6 grow tent. Any advice as to what I can add to my one existing and what I should look for for the new setup? Then should I do 1 higher wattage or 2 lower for the better spread?

In general...More watts equals more coverage, deeper penetration, and higher yields (grower depending).
It also equals more heat. So more fans or AC to deal with that.
Why not go HID? Cheap LED lights are just not that efficient.4x4 600w HID empty for summer
3x3 400w HID with Bruce Banner and Skywalker Kush
2x2 65w Quantum Board LED with 4 mother strains
running all simultaneously for a perpetual harvests.

You can get QBs for 80cents/watt with over 2.0ppfd/w efficiency. New QBs (lm301h) are supposedly over 3.0 ppfd/w!
Even the gen 4 Luminus are getting up there.

Don’t get me wrong, cheap LEDs will work. To some people, the end results are all that matter. In that case, I would consider the difference to be negligible on a hobby level.
When weight becomes a matter of business success or failure, HPS is the way to go.

I absolutely want to try many things as I can afford to. It is just for hobby and personal growing to save money on buying and for the general love of the plant itself. For me, it's more about getting enough for me and my husband and a good quality bud. At some point, I hope to afford more to improve those results because come on who doesn't want more and better? I could never imagine having too much cannabis. So far I have narrowed down to a quantum board or hps addition to my current led. I was reading that mixing can be beneficial so was thinking getting a 600 to 1000 watt hps to current setup and trying quantum boards with next setup?
