I know those watages are not accurate , anybody have experience using these type of lights . Oh yeah my main light is a 250 watt at wall unit from Budget LEDs

Rapidled offers exotic supplemental lights as well as HLG with their rspec. What is your budget? I think you need a good quality light before getting into supplementation. Not to tell you how to grow it anything just wouldn't want you to waste money
Hi thanks for response I may have mislead about Budget LED , Budget LED is the company name located here in MI, the light i have is their Series 2+ 250watt Full Spec, very similar in specs to the HLG 260 watt V2. My budget is somewhat limited I saw the G8 flower booster on Amazon and also Growstar 150w and Growstar 300w all red that sound like they're similiar to the G8 but less expensive

Why do you want to use a flower booster? More yield, quality, something else?

You are a new grower correct? You said your first grow was 1.5oz. You already have a great full spectrum light with great specs at that. There are things that might need to be corrected to help your yield and ultimately your quality.
I'm not saying the flower booster wouldn't but they are more for increasing thc rather.
Temperature, humidity, air flow, genetics, method and medium could all be working against your yield. To me this is the issue rather than needing to buy more light and waste money.
That light could probably get you a solid 1lb without flower boosters.
How well can or do you control your environment? How do you grow?
7 gallon smart pots,Fox Farms Ocean Forest,Fox Farms Big Bloom, Gro Big , Tiger Bloom, Mykos Mycorrhizal root enhancer was thinking of adding CO2 Bag also want to get seeds from Mephisto ,Dutch Passion or Fastbuds the seeds I used on first gro were probably not the highest quality genetics

I'm not a soil grower but I believe your you're could be better still. @MissUniverse @Wawashell @AltheGardener might be able to help on that front.
The problem with the exhale bags and c02 in general is that your tent isn't sealed and you probably exchange air. The average home has 400ppm of c02, most run tanks at 800-1200ppms.
Do you have a journal?
