Lighting

Ok I have a 4x8 tent with 3 sun system 315 lec with the 3100 bulbs. First time I used them I had 12 plants in it. On the next round I tried 24 now here is the prob final weights came in close to the same. Should I add more lighting
 
That makes sense. There is a article on here that talks about pot size compare to output. Basically is says you are going to get the same with 10, 5 gallon pots as you are with 20, 2.5 gallon pots. Its all about space you can grow. Once you are out of room you are out of room.. Even same size pots it applies. For instance say you got 1 pound off 10 plants in 5 gallons.
You are also going to get pound off 20 because the plants are smaller to fit your space.

Also one 315 should cover a 4x4 area. 3 in a 4x8 is plenty. Your plants have probably hit their light saturation limit in a tent that size with those 3 lights.

Less plants has helped me increase quality, reduce inputs, and eases my mind. Oh and my yield hasn't changed. I went from 14 down to 7 in my space and just cropped out the same weight, however I actually enjoyed growing just 7 this time, no more praying to just finish!!

Less plants allowed me to spend more detailed time with each specimen, catering to individual needs, spotting problems like ball sacks/ mildew/ bugs. I was on top of everything this time and having less plants helped me. Again, with no loss of yield.

There is a balance somewhere in the middle that will make growing more rewarding. Looks like you have plenty of light, all good there.
