Light advice for small Hydro LED closet

Hello,

I just finished to built my small wardrobe for a single plant in Hydro. This is my first set up with LED lighting as I always used HPS 250/400/600 or CFL 250 dual spectrum.

This is my set up:

SIZE: H 191cm x W 76cm x D 50cm (I'm actually using only the upper part so I'd say 160/170cm height).

GROW SYSTEM: oxypot DWC system, water pump, air stone, drainage tube and pot lifted for easy drainage every week.

WATERING(optional): for the first 2 weeks I'll use an infusion set to do some gravity feed mixed with a bit of cal/mag by vitalink and formulex, universal profile.

AIR CIRCULATION: 2 x 120mm computer fan (with anti dust grill) installed in the bottom to provide fresh air and move the plant branches.

AIR EXTRACTION: RVK 4" with rhyno carbon filter installed on the top and exhausting out (hole sealed with expanding foam). I'm using Variispeed to regulate the power of RVK.

LIGHTING: 300 w LED light vipar spectra.

LIGHT REFLECTION: Reflecting sheets,Prime quality fixed all around, top and bottom.

NUTRIENTS: Dutch pro A + B, formulex(universal profile), cal/mah vitalink, ph down vitalink.

SUBSTRATE: acqua clay pebbles, cultilene propagation cubes, propagator.

TOOLS: Ph pen, EC pen, thermometer/umidity

I'm also adding a Net to do some SCROG and topping for the first time.

I was wondering if the 300w LED viparspectra would be enough till the end of the crop or I got a few options:

- Should I ad one more 300w when it comes to flowering time.

- Get a 600 w LED from same manufacturer.

- Install now a cool tube (which I already have) for a 250w HPS and lumii ballast 600plus only for blooming. Connected to the air extraction and filter to avoid raises in temperature.

I'd like to keep the third option as least cause I want to finish and start with LED if possible but if anyone got an experience with HPS/LED running alongside, you are more then welcome to share

I'm gonna do one photoperiod plant JACK 47, from sensi seeds.

Some pictures attached.

Please let me know what you think about my set up and what I should do with the light, I'd love to get some advices from experts or someone who already used those kind of lights.

Thanks guys .
