Hey there folks,
just hit the one month flowering mark

Try to get the full story here in highlights:
5x5 gorilla tent shorty
two 315w cmh
co2 at 1500ppm
ac cooled and lights are air coooled as well
dehumidifier in there as well
4 trim buddies fans

So first timer here and the switch to flower crushed me.. they jumped 3x in height to the point my lights were only a few inches away so I added co2 to help I keep tempos at 84-85 and humidity in the 45% range and a monitoring system for it.
I then ordered an extension kit for the tent which now stands about 8 ft and has nearly 18 inches between them and the lights but i notice the sides are not getting the light they need as they are too tall for the two center lights to really get in there.

So I was thinking should I add two led lights on each side?
Can they hang with only 5 inches between them and the lights or am i SOL?
thanks for the help

They got too large so you added CO2?
I did. To combat the heat and intensity of the light and they LOVED it

You can add side lighting. LEDs will be perfect.
I was looking at :

to put on the sides like the lovely pic i drew above lol..

I have zero led experience so Im thinking this will be supplemental and not have to be crazy intense as there are alreadys the 2 315s in there..
Sound like a decent plan to you guys?

thanks
-and Hotrod - you have helped me out a lot truly a great person!
