Should I consolidate?

I have a 95w 4000k garage light, a 100w 600 equivalent Wills led blurple, and 2 26w 3000k home Depot led bulbs. I have 3 flowering ladies. Should I move them to my 2*2*4 to finish and turn my bigger tent into a veg room? I just ordered an hlg 100w v2, I'm wondering if I should put my 3 flowering plants back in my 2*2 and if so should I use all my lights in there? I'm a few weeks into flower, my options are open which I wasn't expecting in the beginning.. I guess to boil it all down to 1 question, what wattage would give me a solid yield with LEDs in a 2*2? Largest cola is 2 feet from the ground so I do have room, stretch is over and was less than I expected. Move my clones and flower in a smaller tent to get more reflection??

Only the 3 in the top right corner are flowering.. I just realized today that I won't be able to keep my others going with just sunlight and the few hours I leave my tent open, so I need a bigger veg room. The 2 5gals and the 2 on the left inside the tent get switched out daily or bidaily, so they don't flower but get the benefits of the lights. I close the tent when I go to bed, without 2/4 inside it. trying to figure out if I should use both my Wills 600w (100w) and my new hlg 100w v2 together in my 2*2*4 to finish flower or just one of them, more centered with an even spread.. is 100w enough for maybe 1oz per plant or would it be worth it to have my wills and hlg both in there for the remainder of flower

I know I'm not giving too many details, sorry bout that, feel free to ask any questions, thanks for the input!

Uhg I hate that I've had to post this many replies to myself.. just giving more specific info.. I was gonna flower 4 but one turned into a male. Now I have 3 post-stretch that would actually fit in my initial 2*2*4 and I think that small tent would suit my flower needs more, I'm just not sure how much light I should give them. I've heard .5 grams per watt so I want to give more light but I really have no idea .. is it watt per plant or total twattage no matter how many plants? I want to get as much yield as I can, looking for advice, thanks guys.

PS I plan on starting my 2 5 gals and my 2 3gals flowering if I move my current 3 flowering to my 2*2 but if I move my lights I feel like I'm going back to my initial plan of using CFLs to flower and I'm just not sure how to distribute my lights. I appreciate any advice, thanks again.

Good rule of thumb on wattage ... between 50 w and 70 w / square foot for decent yields. In your 2 x 2, that's between 200 and 280 total watts. Adding up the mash-up of lighting, I believe you are around the 245 watts.

What type of light is that garage light? Is in an incandescent bulb?

I've grown pretty well with the 4' florescent tubes back in my early days so using something like a 3100K warm white CFL will get you some flower.

In your 2 x 2 space, 10 - 12 of the 23 watt 3100 K CFL's should flower rather nicely.

It's an led, the garage light, it vegged really well. Was like 100 bucks at home depot, first actual fixture I bought to use instead of light bulbs. It's pretty solid for veg but I doubt it's helping flower much.

Just out of curiosity, 4'*4' grow space I'm guessing? How many lights/watts? Plant count? Yield?

Total was 3.5' x 10' that I split into two 3.5' x 5' sections. One section for veg and one section for flower. Each area had 10 of the 4' dual 40 watt florescent light fixtures surrounding the space. 4 fixtures across the top and three fixtures down the two sides.

Total of 800 watts per section. Mostly cool whites with a couple of warm whites used during veg. Mostly warm whites with a few cool whites during flower. Had six vegging and six flowering and each girl gave me about 2 oz finished. Floros won't give you huge buds but the buds they do produce for you are chunky and totally coated in trikes.
