Pretty straight forward question.
Have a 20x36 inch (5 square feet) area & a 160 W QB. A small area on the sides won't really get adequate light.
Am I better off just running the QB or should add in a 130W (true watts) blurple that I have around?
I don't want to stress the plants with too much light in a little area, also don't want to give too little. The QB provides enough watts for 5sq ft but not enough spread.
I figure if I add in the blurple I will get better spread and coverage but will get a hot spot in the middle (tried this and plants in the middle started cupping, although not very badly).
Thoughts, too much or slightly too little? whats the verdict?
