Hindsight an all that but if it sounds/looks too good to be true, then it probably is. Did you order another light from a reputable site?
Welcome aboard. Slow and steady wins the race. I would maybe let your soil dry out a little more between waterings. The yellowing could be a sing of over water. My first grow was also blue dream. Got some really nice flower. Learn all about lst training and let them girls veg about 6 weeks then flip. Folks like @MidwestGuy and @ChittyChittyBangin give great information, listen to them for sure. Lots of other folks here as well but those two just stick with me . They have helped me out big time. But just take your time if your using ff nutes, use half of the recommended dose. Get som blackstrap molasses and liquid seaweed. The girls will thank you for it.

Just playing with words, If you “want” to grow great weed with big dense colas you “need” more light. Good luck Growmie!!

Oh! …I’m tempted. Believe me! I have the stupid 2.5 x 5 tent that is impossible to light efficiently. Do I get a light set up for 5x5-or-two lights for 3x3-or- one light for 2x4 + one for 2x2. It’s driving me freakin’ nutz

Hlg has 100w 150w and 200w boards for a 2x2 flowering footprint print, I do great with 3 100w boards in my 2x6 with 3 plants. You could do 2 of any of those

Those should be fine one 100w and a 200w unless you want to upgrade, 100w is not enough by some people. I would up my wattage if I could but I have no ventilation in my closet and I am restricted heat 
my HLG 100s run fairly cool 
There are a couple that I would love. Topping the list would be 350 Diablo

Vsfd6500 shows up in a couple days and see how the girls will like them. Thinking topping with lst. Am I getting to far ahead of myself? Let them dry out for a few days and put the 6500 to her hot per the ppfd chart. 18/6 cycle. Tap water aired out 24 hrs. ph off tap around 7.5 and give a small dose 6” around stem? When they get watered ph down to 6.5. Get a 5 foot canopy by finish. Is a thought looking at some pics that’s possible? This is my first and I’m going to get the molasses and liquid seaweed

Yes that would be great option 
great footprint, plenty of wattage, dimmable, and comparably priced. If ya got the cash lol or use the ts2000 for one plant and upgrade the inferior light for second plant. Ts 2000 gives you 32 watts per sq foot which is decent. The 350 would give you 28 watts per sq foot across whole tent. For 279 bucks you could get a hlg 200 Rspec 199 for a refurbished one and you’d have 32 watts per sq foot across whole tent with the two 200 watt lights, plus if you you buy from them direct you can get another 10% off using a code, one I think is DUDE, there may be other codes. Man all kinds of options another ts2000 is 200 bucks too. Good luck my friend, I am following along would be great to hear what you decide @rtbaum

Oh sorry I didn’t know this was your thread my friend. Congratulations on the new light, I know your girls will love it @Milkman
34.5" x 10.5". It is tight lengthwise in my tent. I only have 2" between the tent wall front and back but plenty width wise since it is only 10.5" wide. I got a smokin deal on mine. It is the 23 Evo model picked up at the Cannacon when they broke down their booth on Sunday. $350.00 for a new 350 Diablo. Couldn’t pass it up. WOuld have bought another tent if it didn’t fit.

@Bonjoyle Mine is going into the 2.5’ by 5’, should be a good fit
That is pretty much what I paid for the refurb, I think we will both be happy

Small update. Just finished. Going to keep an eye on the temps. Installed the new vsfd6500.
Checked with the ppfd app at each plant. Everything is right at 600. Beware. Ppfd goes up about another 100 points once you close the door. My assumption would be the reflection material. Light is jacked up all the way and dimmed down to 75%. If I didn’t dim them down the ppfd is at 850-900. Going to give them a drink tomorrow morning I think. Got the molasses and liquid seaweed. Any thoughts on the height. Should I lower the lights and dim more to get the 600?

When they’re in the early stages they don’t need as much light as they will in veg and flower. That light looks like it’ll be a winner for sure.
Here’s a good thread on DLI and light intensity.
