    Will be doing a side-by-side flowering smackdown; using two Timber 48 SAMS/eight hlg 288 (3000K) white led boards, four hlg 35 boards, a 4’ growbright far red bar, and various uva-b t5s vs six hlg 96 cob-like white led boards, a 4’ growbright far red bar, and the same uva-b t5s.

    The plan is to run them in identical 1.2mx1.2mx2.2m green cube tents; using separate but same titan light and environmental controllers; along with CO2; clones of Jack Herer, Green Crack, Original Glue, and Girl Scout Cookies; in 8-gal ez-stor dwc buckets; using technaflora’s recipe for success nutrients.

    The smackdown will begin at 12:12, but i will document propagation and vegetation under hlg 96 light(s).

    For reference, see the following threads:

    New Quantum board qb96 V2's are out from HLG. Cob replacement fixture-Replacement Thread **BS here**

  6. lol you’re beyond my league bro.
    You have close to the same wattage in your 4x4 as I do in my 4x8 lol. Then you also have uv and extra reds.

  8. I am seriously considering 6 qb96elites with three HLG-320H-54a drivers in my 4x4. I just have to sell two 4-qb120 lights first.

  10. You have 32sqft now tho.
    I only have 10 more sqft, unless you count my 5x5 veg tent too.
    I think I seen on RIU Stephen was talking about something new coming out at the end of this month?

  15. Like a comic book! Every grow is! You get snapshots in your head as you watch the seeds sink in the water to when they pop up out of the ground and get leaves and live with you for months and are an ongoing saga until they complete their life in glorious fashion! That's why we share pictures of what we're proud of.
