  1. These Qb96 look nice. I'm debating right now to either get two of these or 4 qb120 boards. I want yo use them as a veg and bloom light until I can have two different rooms. I have a room set up for 3x8-10ft or so. I will start at about 3x3 or 3x4 for first area to start.

  5. Not really pics. Just a bunch of full jars and still some trimming to do. I've already smoked probably 2oz's since I started trimming. I have 17 jars full and they're probably well over an oz per jar. Still have 4 or more oz's on the drying rack and 3-4 more to trim. It might be two pounds when I'm done total.

    I did take a pic of what I have left to trim after 17 jars full. IMG_1111.JPG IMG_1112.JPG IMG_1113.JPG IMG_1116.JPG

  7. So those are strips of LEDs out on the qb96s? Bummer! I'm sure HLG will do right by you.

  14. Oh the 4x 96s but added four modules of LM09s too so I can space out the 96s a little more. I would like more lights and will need more lights. Just not this month.
    The other plant is under the an 800 board (V1). Can take some better pics of her tomorrow.
    Scrog and cage are 39sqin but I think this plant is really about 4sqft.

    If you bot a 96 elite, read this and spread the word:

    Some people are noticing an oily substance weeping from their 96:

    @robincnn on riu (hlg employee) posted this reply to my question:

    “@or gro

    Original plan was to use only permanentadhesive pads. However we decided to go with reusable pad for Elite Engines to allow rework. Liner on both sides of thermal pads must be removed during installation.
    Thermal paste works fine to but it is not as easy to apply as QB 96 Elite board is much bigger than COB

    Some orders were shipped with White Pads and others with Grey Pad.

    Grey Pad is 3M and is working fine.
    White Pads Datasheet . We contacted the manufacturer and these are leaking silicone oil due to compression from screws.

    All orders are currently shipped with Grey Pads only that hare hand cut to size
    In Jan we are switching to Die Cut 3M (Acrylic based) and Bergquist . Both have higher quality and slightly better Thermal conductivity

    I apologize to inconvenience with the White Pads with QB 96 Elite Engines.
    If you received White pads with QB 96 Elite Engines and are facing issues,

    Please email warrantyhlg@gmail.com with order number and we will mail you new Pads right away.”

    Driver hasn’t made it here yet, HLG shipped it out day after Xmas and I just got it today

    Win

    Thinking about NOT building a hanger for them... I kind of want to be able to adjust height individually... would that be so bad?
