Help with QB please

[assulin]

Hi guys!

I am running an HLG 260w R spec QB in a 3.3 by 3.3ft with 4 autoflowers. in 5 gal pots.
I am thinking of adding a 135w R spec HLG QB to reach that 35w per square foot.

What do you guys think?
Thank you!

Good products, there is also the HLG 100 you can choose from. My only issue with that light is no dimmer (the Spider-Farmer 1000 does, similar specs). Do your plants show any signs of light stress currently, how close do you run that light to the canopy?

Thank you for your reply!
This is how my plants look like atm.
the light is around 80 cm from the canopy and I think they might be a bit stressed. one looks stunted.

they are like 5 days from sprout

I like to start them in smaller 4x4" pots to let the roots grow with proper moisture and oxygen, but many people have success doing it just as you did too. For 5 days, they look good. Sometimes one might be a little delayed but most of the time it will catch up. Just be careful not to give them too much water in such a big pot at first. I've heard a few good suggestions here about using a shot glass to measure the water and to do smaller amounts more frequently. Seems like you are off to a good start.
