Starting a flowering tent

Hi everyone. Haven't posted in a while, been busy growing. ;)

To my question:
I want to set up a separate flowering tent for my photoperiod plants.
My current set up has three 300 w equivalent LEDs for a total of 900w.

I'm trying to figure out if I my flowering tent needs to have the same output or if I can go higher. I was thinking of getting two 600 w equivalent LEDs for my flowering tent for a total of 1200w. Would this be a problem for the plants or should I stay at 900w?
I'm hoping by having a separate flower tent I can have more light for fatter buds.
Thanks!
 
Yes, the veg tent can be 1/2 that of the flower tent-the amount of heat and distance from the LED available will be a determining factor, as larger LED's require a great distance than smaller LED's.
I run a combo of LED's as follows- smaller veg tent 390 LED watts (@82f) and larger "flower" tent @ 930 LED watts (@ 78f).
 
What size tent do you have now and what size tent are you going to set up? I just harvested 10oz. in a 3x3 using 3-300w leds 2-GalaxyHydro and 1-viparspectra. I veg in a 2x4x8 closet with the 600w viparspectra using only the veg switch so I figure I'm pulling 136w from the wall for veg and 405w for flower. I can veg 4 plants in my veg space and as long as I time it right they are ready to move to the flower tent 1 week after harvest.
 
Thanks again for the responses.
I'm using a 48" x 24" x 72" tent. the new tent will be the same exact size.
I currently have 2 skunks getting pretty large in veg. In the same tent I have an LST'ed auto OG Kush that is about 2-3 weeks away from being harvested.
there is also a small clone of the skunk tucked away in a corner, so I'm really running out of room. All the plants are in 4 gallon smart pots.
As soon as the new tent arrives I'm moving those skunks into flowering and will start rubbing my hands together in anticipation.
