Too much light?

[Anuenki]

So i am on my first grow with a 4x4 and i currently have 2 of the hlg 260w xl quantum boards. One is 3000k one is 4000k. I am currently contemplating getting one more but of the new r spec ones for enhanced flowering and running all three at about 200 watts each. Is it better to run 2 at full blast for the penetration ofer 3 dimmed a little??

In my opinion, 3 beats 2. Light from three directions will give better penetration and 3 times 200 sounds superior. I'm not advising you to get the r-spec, just responding to your alternate scenario question.

You may want to run the power supplies outside the tent, depending upon your climate.
