It's going to be pretty much exactly the same as growmau5 quantum canopy
If you have the original phytomax your going to have quite a bit more light with your current setup. Phytomax 2 is 1.66 umol/j . The phytomax 1 is 1.331 umol/j so you will be roughly twice as efficient per watt...... So yeah a lot more light than either the new or old Blackdog 1000.


Did you get S6 boards? Growmau5 quantum canopy was S5 higher VF bin. The new S6 boards are 10+% more efficient!!!!!

That was my goal was to blow the black dogs out of the water and yes I have the S6 boards

Although it's been hot as hell out west ... The Quantums have barely raised a sweat .
Plants are not heat stressed at all , before .... I would add some silica to mixes for strengthening up the ladies , not this time.

No AC for me ... Just oscillating air movement. I guess those HID boys are used to blast furnace temps , and crispy ass plants ..... Screw that . You couldn't pay me to go back to other lights.

This Tangerine Dream is growing like no problem ...

I started including ful-power in my regiment. Today I hit everyone with 15ml foilar spray. Excited to see these results in tupur.

Bro the Ful-Power is rocking for me in my Tupur under the LED's. I use it for foliar and in the feeds via the water. I'm at 20/ml per gallon and loving it.

Good luck and looking good.!

Is there anybody doing secondary optics for the quantum boards or even just a plastic cover for when you spray the garden?

In a tent, optics are not needed as they would be in an open room, as the light losses are much smaller because of the diffuse light from the reflective walls.
I guess I can look into some low uv resting plastic. Just don't want to spray this bad boy at all when I foliar feed or spray for pests

The cmh (942) can veg plants very very quick so tough competition .

Wow! I have a 4x4 FLOWER only tent, have been running 600w hps in. I'm tired of all the heat I deal with, specially in the desert southwest!
I am switching to led's. Been thinking of cobs but after seeing these boards I am wondering what direction would be better.

I can't do the entire tent at once but I have $350 to use right now. I was gonna go with six clu048-1212 along with everything else to get em up and running. I planned to use hlg320 1050 and have 8 cobs per driver for a total of 16 in the end all said and done and running at I believe would be close to 40w a cob.

But can I get one or two boards and be in the price range of $350? And will it compare to the what $350 in cobs will do?
I see Stephenj37826 you have them in 5000k in stock but I no 3000k or 3500k.
Is there anywhere I can find them in the spectrum I need for flower?
