5 weeks from sprout under a QB 260w running at 150w at the top of the tent. Clock wise starting in the back right

12 plants per lamp.we put them in flower at 2 feet in 2 gal ebb and flow buckets @ 1150watts on double eneded lamps. by harvest they are about 4 feet. Our next room will be a 8 lamp setup at our small warehouse which is about 2400sqft. We dont run a trellis but we stake our plants and let them grow as nature intended, some defoliation but not nearly as much as most.
In our current rooms there is so much overlap because we run open DE so plants are gettting hit with light at different angles. Being there is no directional overlap with LED and more so scattered light my concern is if our yields will be similar.
What are talking? I don't care your on the fence lol! Just sayin. I'm not talking about my light I'm talking about UVB added to my light. I've been using it quite a while now and had some pretty Good Yields.

What's your growing style? I'm No-Till doing one plant ScrOG in a 4x4 in 15g pot with good enough results for me anyway. But that's my growing style.

hey robin i have 1 last question i am going to purchase the 260 w kit but is there any way i can get 2 separate single heatsinks instead of the double 1 i want to space it out a bit.
Saw similar question in email. Yes email order number and HLG will update order.


@Humple
4x QB120 series wiring with HLG-240H-2100 is a good combo.

Product page for the qb120 says you can run up to 10 in series with the molex option. There is also a DC barrel jack option, maybe that's a lower voltage connecter.
Thank You. Yes the DC barrel jack is rated max 30V so series wiring only with QB120 with Molex option. molex rated 300V

Nice looking grow. What kind of cobs ? distance to canopy ?
Cree CXB3590 3500K 80CRI CD bin running at 56W each for 56% efficiency. 80 degree glass lenses.

225W per module, that includes the driver, for a total of 900W per 4' wide by 6' tall trellis panel.

About 2' from chip to the nearest edge of the canopy, roughly 3' to the trellis itself.

The aim of the setup was to get more yield from a given square footage. Unlike most I include aisles in my square footage calculations because I can't seem to hire any flying fairies to train my plants lol

Kaoss multi point source lighting like boards of discreet diodes like quantums are far better for overlap with reflection then a de in my opion. What do you mean by running them open. I assume you mean no reflector, if thats the case 50 percent of your light intensity is shooting upwards and 360 degrees in every direction, where quantums are emitting light at all angles downwards all light energy down at the plants. Im no way criticizing de hps i know full well what they can do but personally, i will never change a bulb or ballast again in growing

...wall o weed, lol

The pic isn't tilted 90 degrees, it's a vertical grow; just mentioning it to reduce the chance for confusion.
I knew was vertical ... I SHOULD have said " TAPESTRY OF WEED " ... Followed thread a while back.

I don't why saying Tapestry of Weed sounds like something Irish .... Lol.
" they're magically delicious! "
