HPS in this setup is not good, big space, low wattage bulbs = big no no
LEDs in this matter are good, your 200w leds should have 35K LM give or take total which is like a 250w hps but with much better spread.
Overall next time buy your tent according to your lights or the opposite, closer tent walls are better at reflecting light from not strong light sources.
LEDs have a rough time producing a long waves of energy (light) as their sources are so low (0.2w usually) that's why they need to be very close.

So in conclusion, for a 200w led, a 2x2 tent will help it reflect and reach your plants better.

I don't think you've read the posts correctly as there is 400w of led lights in the tent not 200, I've also seen 1 hps run the same tent with 4 plants of same size and yield about the same ballpark as I'm expecting from these

Your lights are 100watt each. You can DIY with dollar store LEDs.

Dollar Store Grow Lights!

So, while venturing the isles of the local dollarstore I came across these babies! Now, I know they are only 9w but, but used in conjunction with other lighting, or by itself in multiples, it seems like a a viable option for those on a budget! I cracked them open to see what was inside, it...

Might look into it at somepoint but ill see how this led run goes first, temps are steady at about 25-28° humidity sits about 50% constant, goes up a bit after feeding then drops again

Fair doos that's ok mate especially humidity wise mind you as your using led i think you can get away with a slightly higher humidity level cos vpd vs hps anyway

Sorry my bad man, I thought you only have 200w total...
With 100w above each plant you'll get better results in yield over hps indeed in that kinda setup and wattage.

2 phlizon pl-1000s, I considered a longer veg (currently they have 4 weeks) but I have another 3 in larger pots that will be vegging the full time these 4 are in flower and then they will be moved into the tent to flower themselves. so I'm not to concerned with filling the space right out in the first run.

I hate to break it to you but those are 100w each. A gram per watt with led seems common, I pulled better than 2g/w my last run. Good luck

I hate to break it to you mate... but I'm fully aware that those are 100w each that being the 200w that was in the tent originally... I have since added another 200w.. as stated in my last reply lol?

Getting higher humidity spikes after feeding so adding a dehumidifier tomorrow and maybe a fan at ground level for lower/underneath canopy

This would depend on the light. I have 2, 200 watt lights in a 4x4 and they can provide more light than the plants like. I can get 50 DLI with a 12-12 light schedule and 30 inch height over canopy running at 90 to 95 percent.

Oh yeah, definitely. The HLG 600rspec I have is only running at 50% rn.
