Hi guy's, I was wondering what suggestions people have for lighting.
The setup is 60cm, 60cm, 158cm.

Right now there's a 135w quantum board with a couple of 20w blurple LEDs just to supplement. Do you think these suggestions would be any better?

My thinking exactly however I'm not sure if it's going to be enough for 2 plants. What do you think?

I would check your lux and par values, you could actually have enough for that space

I think you are right for a space that small that should be enough just adjust light accordingly

2 plants topped twice and flipped day 28ish can make 4-8oz- depending on strain.

I'm a new grower but I just researched the hell out of lights. I would do a 135 quantum board kit in that space. The 100 would probably be adequate, but it's not dimmable.

QB kits are on sale right now where I got mine. I am new to this forum. Am I allowed to mention other brands on here or does one have some kind of exclusive forum sponsor agreement?

The quantum board will likely handle that space. The number of plants doesn't come into the calculation.

Probably obvious to most, but it's HLG. They even quietly refunded me like 10% off the second board I ordered (6 hours apart). I didn't ask for a discount or anything, just noticed on my statement.

I have the 640W HLG from their DIY kit, which seems to be no longer available.

So far I have not been able to put it on full power without the plants screaming in terror.
