New 4x4 tent - lighting & other ideas

Hey rollitup,
Long time reader, first time posting! So I just snagged a 48”x48”x80” Vivosun tent bc they had a huge one day 30% off on a few different sized tents. Already have a 5x5 gorilla grow tent with wedding cake, og kush and some sundae drivers going in it under a 10bar 800w (dimmable) mammoth lighting led that are currently day 21ish of flower. I’ve got a 4x4 gorilla lite line that’s got my mom plants & any clones I make. And I have a 2.5 x 5 tent in my bedroom currently vegging a few of the Dosido crosses that I will flip to flower in about 2 weeks. In that tent I’m gonna use my 315cmh from growers choice (dimmable) situated in middle of the 5 foot length with 2 phantom 1xls, 1 on each of the cmh.

So question is which route would y’all go with lighting to flower out in the new 4x4 tent? I have a Growers Choice 500watt CMH (dimmable) fixture that I plan on using in the 4x4. I have both the 500watt 4000K bulb (veg) & the 500watt 3000K-R bulb (flower) R meaning more of the spectrum lies in the far &deep red vs any other regular 3000k cmh bulb. This fixture has dimmable settings of 500w 400w, 315w, 250w. It should be able to put in work in a 4x4 as long as I train the plants proper, trellis them & all that good stuff .... but if y’all were to add in some supplemental lighting which route would y’all go?

Here’s some pics of my 5x5 set up

That 500 watt CMH sounds perfect for the center 3x3 area or so. Perhaps a strip build to add some perimeter lighting around the CMH.

& my 2.5x5 tent with the 500watt cmh and the 2 phantom 1xls. Remember swapping the 500watt into 4x4 and putting my 315 in this tent

Ya I was thinking maybe a couple rapid led chilled logic v3 pucks 100watt lights. Like 2 of em on opposite corners of the tent with the cmh in middle
