Diy strip build spectrum, ideas?

Well I'm looking at building a couple of fixtures for a 4x4 canopy area, located in a 5x5 enclosure.

I'm looking at running somewhere in the 700-800 watt range.

I was going to use two 320w drivers for white light 3000k and 3500k 90cri mix. 120w for 660nm and 60-120w 730nm.

They will all likely be on separate channels so I can adjust how I'd like.

Any suggestions or anything I should look at adding?
Is it worth adding anything else?

I'd suggest no more than 20% of your total wattage be 660 & 730 combined (dependent on efficiency). I'd add some UV & NUV. Sounds like a neat build. Good luck

that seems a bit excessive

I didn't consider that less than 10% total wattage to 730nm would be that excessive.
