Light placement for flowering in closet grow. Comments, thoughts and advise. Please

Hey guys.

I have a question on light placement. I know there is no 'right' answer, but wondered what others thought.

I have a 2x3 closet grow. 6 indica's from clone in a 30 gal dwc. The climate and environment are in order, I am not looking for advise on cooling or temps.

I have a 400w hps to be used for flowering. I am going to be getting a 250w mh for vegging next grow. I thought I could put the 250 watts on the plants during flowering for extra lumens and spectrum.

Where do I put the 250? I drew a pic with choices. The first is how things are now, one 400 in the middle of the closet. I know it would be optimal to get 2 150w mh's and put them on either side of the hps, but that's just too much.

Also, secondarily, should I get a conversion bulb for the mh to make it 650w of hps, or do you guys think 400w hps + 250w mh would be a good combo? Again, I know it's my preference and neither one is 'wrong' but I want opinions. The more the merrier.

Thanks you guys.

watch the heat wth the extra bulb in there, keep your water below 75F, i like the idea for dual spectrum , perhaps A would be good

Thank you mr. greenberg. Much appreciated.

Anyone else?

A, B, or C.

I'd go with C. Rather have one bulb covering 4 plants.

You could even hang them vertically.
