Now we making progress! Exactly what I wanted to do. For my case, it's only two boards. I'm really just brain storming right now. But the wago glued is genius. Small area, 2x4 with two boards just trying to maximize. I'm really only looking for about a foot of play at most. I'm only running two plants, but if I have a shorter plant I want to be able to lower that side to get the par.

Generally for spread id rec 3 boards over 240 driver for that space. Spreading the watts out a bit means a bit less hangheight and more light onto cannopy. If youre already setting up for small plant/big plant youd be able to use 2 boards on 1 plant even angling the second board in. And since its only another 50$ seems like an easy choice
or raise smart pot !!
I was thinking about that as well. But, I will be training with a net then Scroggins.

Ok, then forget about the third board. All you have to do is to figure out the hanging and then connect again using series connection. Driver + first board +, first board minus second board plus and then second board minus back to driver minus. The trick is to figure out how much wire to use between first board minus and secon board + so it doesn't limit the height difference, along with the glued wago solution or something similar in order to not tugg at connections.
I've been wanting try out the qb96. may just be an opportunity to build a single fixture 100 to 150 watts. Adjust the width of my qb288 and call it a day. I really just want to be as efficient as possible since I have a small 2x4 tent.
