In my Auto room I have 4 300w leds I am thinking about adding two more in the middle, Yesterday I filled 7, 3 gallon bags with kind and Happy frog with worm casting that I added anyways all the space on the floor is filled in. If I put two more 300w lights in the middle that would make 1800 watts 6 actual ,or do you think 1 600w light in the middle would be better

Maybe- the issue you would have to look at- the recommended distances from LED to plant, as they tend to change once you get to 600w.
1 x 600w would produce less heat than 2x 300w, if that's an issue.
I run a 2x4 tent with 300w,480w,240w in a straight line.
The 240 & 480 are switched grow/bloom so I adjust based on the plants I am growing at different developement stages (seed-flower) in a single tent.

2 lights will give you more coverage than the single. If you go with the single 600 it will likely need more distance from the plants. I figure you know this already. Being a former jarhead myself, I would go with the dual 300s just so everything will be the same height and distance.

I'm with Madman, I'd go with the 2-300watt leds. Army grunt, not Jarhead grunt.But I liked all friendlies.

2 300 watts will fill the space better my2c Semper fidelis Mack

I agree better coverage with 2 300s, and you have one as a backup if one fails.

I have another opinion on a Jarhead named General Smedley Butler. He had lots in his jar.

I think you be good to add another light, when the plant really start to fill out the space and then for flower. Now I been experimenting with cob (chip on board) leds. They are a fuller spectrum but give off white light. I new to them. If you add 1 of these it will add white light and make total spectrum fuller. Here is a pic of my cobs with old burple led mixed in

Love the cob! Check the 600 watts at timber. They are pretty good, but pricey... which brand do you have?

I bet they help alot.
