I'd like some details on the light. You might wanna buy a new led for that price if you're intent on buying a light. Then you have the ability to have more space so you can let your plants grow bigger or pack in a larger area. Theres a lot of info a journal can help with even if it dosent get updated more than once or twice a week. It can help others see stuff you might miss and help get you on the right track
The light is a Budget LEDs Series 2+ full spectrum 250 Watt,Samsung LM301B,LG UV, Osram 660nm , 730nm and 450nm Meanwell driver 240H -C2100b ,Dimmable, 3000k
I'd second the environment control over buying more light. The spec on the Budget LED 2+ is well up there. Look at getting into the correct VPD zone. As soon as I hit the sweet spot throughout my grows i doubled yield on every plant. Environment control is in my opinion more important than a high spec light. I used Viparspectra for my first 3 grows and averaged 3oz per plant after humidity and temperature were controlled properly.
What is the VPD zone, I never heard of it

VPD is Vapor Pressure Deficit. It refers to the rate of transpiration through the leaves of the plant. With an IR thermometer it isn't entirely accurate but it does help to identify healthy environmental conditions for your plants.
Too much humidity can cause the plant to not release enough water, too much heat cause cause excessive evaporation, too little humidity cause issues at the roots because of too much evaporation, and too little heat won't let enough evaporation occur.
You can diagnose some plant issues based on environmental issues that can cause pH issues or generally disrupt growth. The other thing is large swings can cause issues in growth like 90f days but 60f nights with large humidity swings will make powdery mildew appear and other issues.
