Want to update my flowering area. Currently using a 600w SE HPS and 1 315w CMH. Over a 4x6.
How much is QB gonna run me over the 4x6? Im looking at $1500 for 1200w of cob. (3) 400w vero 29 v7 kits from Timber at 1200ppfd.

I would recommend 6 304 boards on 3 meanwell HLG 240-1050A drivers. That will cover your 4x6 with the equivalent to 1500 watts of HPS + a little if turned up. So 3 250 watt kits would do the trick nicely.

Hi guys I have a quick question. Is wrapping electrical tape around the wires when connecting to cob holders a bad idea? I want to insulate as much of the wire and have it as clean as possible, just not sure if the electrical tape touching the heatsinks is an issue.

Are the wires already insulated? Or are you running bare wire and just wrapping it in electrical traps?

Looking great. Thanks for sharing pics.Full blast QB 288 3000k . 150 watts at wall.
32" x 32" tent.
15 inches from plants.
2 x LA's and a Strawberry Banana.
Vegging well
Green rope will interfere with rising hot air. best to roll it and tie some place else.

They are insulated. Solid core 18 gauge. I think Im just really paranoid. Im new to this and want it to be as clean and safe as possible.

you will be fine with just the insulation. Electrical tape has a rating on it for the heat that it can handle, but if the wire is insulated it will be enough to handle the task.

Update : GSG GIRLS got chopped today .......
Week 9 - Day 65 ( milk trich )
2 plants - Lowe's Super Soil Mix
Heavy sweet / Hella sticky ... Nice scissor hash too. Chunky nugs .
11/13 light schedule
I purposely left more sugar leaf on these just to keep it real ... Lol.
Main colas were corn cob sized ... Medium nugs were around 3" long.
I am doing a dry ( current RH is 35-42% ) currently ( so i should be solid around 2 days ).
I am going with a rack dry and will break down the larger nugs to reduce any potential of rot. This will also dry it more uniformly.
I think the end harvest weight will be pretty damn good considering i was dialed down to 205 watts on 12/12 - 11/13 light schedule. I use a ' Step down ' cure method that allows me to select where i want bud. I like 58 - 67 % ( hard to sticky ) this strain is very sticky ( so i am shooting for 65% ).
In a couple day i will post harvest results ( in jar weight ).
