Should I add more Lights

Grow tent is 60x60x80

I dont have a problem but I was just wondering....

I run Two 4ft 4 bulb t5 lights in my tent for veg only, would I see any benefit if I swapped out one or even two of my fixtures for 4ft 8 bulb t5 lights? I dont have any problems but was wondering if I would get faster growth with more....Daytime my plants are under the sun and out of my tent

More light often means more growth, there is a direct relationship - up until a point.

If it's for veg maybe get a MH light, will help keep the node spacing tighter and make bushier plants.

With florescent lights, you have a very short distance of effective light, before it drops off dramatically. You're really only looking at up to 6". But, you can get the lights real close without worrying about heat or light burn. Instead of putting another fixture above the plant, you can get a couple smaller ones, and place them on the sides.

Regardless, if you're putting her on in the sun during the day, she'll outgrow your hood real quick. Under floros, plants will tend to grow more squat, compared to under more powerful lights, or the sun. But that's if you keep the light real close. Too high and she'll stretch for the light too much.
