Just reread the post.
OK
You want to increase lighting by 30%. You should be able to increase your current setup by 30%. You should be OK adding another 4-8 units to you current waterfarm setup. Hopefully your yield should go up 30% from what you pull now.

Another way to look at is.
You are currently running 2.4kw of lighting and your target range is 1.8-2.2kg.
I think you can acheive your weight without adding extra lighting.
Using the above numbers your gram per watt (gpw) target would be from .75gpw-.91gpw. If you added more lights to reach 3.6kw your gpw would drop to .5gpw-.6gpw.
So back to the 2.4kw. I think climate control and genetic selection and dialling in your grow may give you better results than just throwing light at it.

Grow Sea of Green….single cola style.

4 female clones per sq/ft.

Don't veg them….straight on to 12/12.

Way more yield.

was able to get 1.25 - 1.5 gram/watt this style...plant count was a bit OTT for me though...

Looking good.
I have a bag of sleestack skunk beans in the fridge. I am interested to see how yours turn out.
Your regime looks well thought out.
