Everything has been perfect. Im on day 48 of flower and bam power goes off for 8hrs of my night cycle. My humidity got up to dang near 100 percent. I had water puddles on my floor from all the moisture. Its back to normal but I hate adding unfamiliar variables to a grow. My average temp is 82...

Just to be safe I would just blend it down to a powder before I top dress as intended. I use the same product and I've never had a problem with any seed sprouts doing it this way. Good luck!

Keep in mind that I never exhaust but I use less than 2 whole 20 tanks for a full cycle including a 30 day veg. Also keep in mind that I do use living soil which adds to the co2 in the room. Last but not least I do vermicomposting in the same room and I have noticed whenever I first add more...

Way to turn it around......great recovery!

Thanks for pointing that out...That being said I think Ill still get four qb288s and add them to my existing 12 cob fixture to supplement and add some new tech to play with. Ill upgrade my drives a little later.Am I looking at wrong thing when I see the H185-1400 driver rated a 202w?

Thanks bro! It’s good to have someone to bounce thoughts off of sometimes. For now I’m going to buy four and let my apogee tell what to do next... best investment I’ve made for my lighting.

I’m not tech savvy but that makes sense. I have 3x hlg 320 xl kits (qb288 3 each) which comes h320 1750ma drivers so I figured 2 Qb288s with the drivers I have would be a leaving a little on the table but still effective for my application.....or not???

Im actually thinking about scrapping the light bar idea and just going with 6 qb288s and just wiring two in series giving me three series circuits total (600w) @ 1400ma. My HLG-550 does well for a 4x4 so I would think the 6 would be enough for a 5x5 although they will be driven a little lower...

Do you think it would be worth it to upgrade?

I'm actually looking for a full spectrum solution. I am replacing Cree 3590s 3500k 80cri leds.

I meant a light bar instead of strip. My bad!

So Im actually trying to upgrade one of my RapidLed 4x4 cob light fixtures to a led strip style light. Will the drivers I have not be enough to light the same area with newer light tech?

Are you increasing your light output to get to those temps? That might be my problem now that I think about it. I have to increase my light intensity to get above 82f. I think it might just be light stress instead of heat stress. I have a 2ton mini-split and even when I set my temp to 86 it...

Trying a diy led light strip build for a 4x4 preferably 5x5 area. I have 7ea hlg-185h-c1400b drivers. I have mostly qbs but I wanna try a light strip build so I can compare. What are my best options!
