First of all, your Blurple LED that has the number 3000 in it, is a scam to its wattage. Its probably closer to 2-300.

3000w from the wall?
We need more details of the light please.

Man you need to provide more details details...
If it's 700 from the wall it will be ok for a 5x5 space.

615w.
Spending that much on a light you should have went with hlg quantum board.
That light might be ok for a 4x4 if you add supplement lighting for flowering.

so for 20-30 plants in 7 gallon pots. How much boards would you recommend?

You can grow a big plant in a 7 gallon pot. If you figure 4 square feet per plant, that is 80 to 120 square feet of area you need to sufficiently light. Do you have a preference for what type of board you'd like to get or are you just getting acquainted with the technology?

spider farmer seems like a good choice. Which would you think can do the job? and how many

If that's the brand you want to go with, 12 to 18 sf2000 should work depending on the reflectivity of the walls around you. If you would rather go with the sf4000, 6 to 9 units should be enough. Again this is to cover 80 to 120 square feet, and this would give you about 30 watts per square foot with the sf2000 and just over 30 w./sf. with the SF 4000.
