DIY LED light rig advice needed

I'm building my first grow light and need some tech advice.

I ordered the following components:
2 Vero 29 4000K COBs,
19" of HeatsinkUSA 4.6" profile (for passive cooling), and
a MeanWell HLG-185h-c1400.

I know this driver can power 3 Vero 29s, but I only want to run 2. Will this driver work pushing only 2, or will it blow them?

Meanwells run effectively at 50-100% of their rated voltage. That meanwell by spec will run 3.93 Vero 29's.. Yeah, a hair short of 4.. You are definitely running on the low side, but 2 vero is fine. you can add in another later if you want.
