OK so I'm growing one plant on a scrog in a 2.5x2x8 tent and as of right now I'm use in a 1000W LED my question is would I be able to use two of them in flower? Would it make it better if I used two of them? ?
Need help with lighting

First off your lights probably 150-200watts. If that...
It's hard to say, post a link to your light or the name and model. That 1000w number is marketing BS, it's probably around 100-300 actual watts and may be enough power.

It's the ONEO 1000W FROM amazon
Normal recommendations are 30-40 watts per square foot with high quality LED andaround 50 with blurples.
Amazon says your light is 240 watts, so that gives you 48 watts/foot. Your light is probably similar quality to a cheap blurple, but better with a 3500k white spectrum. The problem is, you can't trust anything the cheap Chinese sellers say. Most of the lights on amazon are crap, quality LED is around $1-$2 per watt.
On paper, it should be enough light, but I've never seen that light and I'd be very interested to hear from some of the more knowledgeable members here. The 1-3 star reviews are really bad..... "I purchased another 1. The 2nd light has a spectrum completely diff then the 1st one. The 1st light is a white light. The 2nd light I recieved is a heavy yellow light."

I would only add uva to that light you could buy a 2 pack of the 380 to 420 nm led light bulbs from Amazon they have spot lights as well from zmha working to add hella frost on my stuff. Plus better taste and uva can be run the entire time

If you look at the spectrum of these lights they start at about 430 nm they have pleanty of red and 440 450 you need uva and 420 nm for photosynthesis to add dense growth and flavonoids oils its also been proven that this light also play a roll in flowering
