Yeah, the work great and tested out to just what the datasheet said. It didn't like being horizontal, but did stay within a safe temperature, that was with no air movement in the room.

Ok. Again I changed things. They were starting to get to packed in the net after I did another clean-up and tuck, so I pulled 2 out and retucked. Now I will flip tomorrow. The are all 3 to 4 feet tall and have plenty of tops. I guess I will run one of them under my veros for a 2'x4' canopy @ 300 watts (outer 2@50w inner 4@25w). The other 3 will get 2 at 250 watts and 1 at 320 watts. They will all be netted this time.

DAY 1 of flower- I now have 3 of the plants netted and one wrapped in a large tomato cage. And the trunks on these things is getting huge.
Coolj- they definitely aren't getting watered to much. The five gallon bag is dry if I don't water twice a day.

is the 4000k on the left and 3500k on the right in most of these pics ? left side looks a tad more full to me.excited to see these around week 6

Day 6- Much easier to manage the watering with only 6. The PH is right this time and and the ppms are under a 1000. Haven't done much in the last few days, just watering.

Day 10 update- @ttystikk I thought you would light this. The last 2 I need to cage got to big for the tomato cage I have, so I had to buy some 5' wire fencing. Now that I have the newer Luna300 the old ones will be ran somewhere above 100 watts. I have plenty of HLG320s that I will run 3 per. I will also have more side lighting than top lighting. Tonight I will get more pictures of the CRI SHOOTOUT. I just realized I only have a pic of right after I caged it.

If you are talking about the caged ones, they are going to have side lighting. The netted CRI Shootout, I don't want to prune, to see the true effects of the CRI when it comes to depth.
The last netted one will also get side lighting or switched to a different light (currently VERO29s @ 300 watts.

Update Day 16-No issues at all and only watering 6 is so much easier. They are drinking twice a day. If I only water once a day they are almost dry by the next day. The one corner now has 2 Vero29 light bars over one for 300 watts. The canopy on that one is almost covering the whole 3'x4' net. I will clean her up some tonight. These Vero29s (8 @25w&50w) are powered by 3 CEN-100-36
The 3 in the middle of the room are all looking good, but I did notice that the one in the tomato cage isn't drinking as much as the other two next to it. I still haven't gotten the fencing around the last one. Each of these plants will have 3 COBs over/ around the plants, one over the top and one on each side. Here I am using both HLG240-48b and HLG320-48b. The 240 I am running 2 luna's on and the 320 I am running 3 on. On the third plant, I have 2 Citizen CLU550s running @ 250w each. I would like to run one per HLG120-1050, but I need to confirm how to wire, since the CLU550 has 2 +'s and 2 -'s per COB. I tried in parallel like I though the datasheet said, but it had a flicker that I didn't like. I also need to throw together a few more reflectors.
CRI Shootout-
Both sides look great. Much more stretch under the 95+cri, no surprise. I am thinking next run to start flowering under 4000k for the first 2 weeks, then switch to the 95+ and finish with a 6500K. I did clean up some of the excessive leaves and noticed that the sun leaves were bigger under the 3200k 95+.

Finally got enough ratchet ropes and crossbars to hold up all my lights. Still haven't caged the last one and I need to make a few more reflectors. So this is as close to a 1000w HPS as I can go. 24square feet and 1150 watts at the wall. 5 Luna 300 at an angle on both sides, 2 on one HLG320 and 3 on the other HLG320. Both 3000K and 4000K of different CRI's (all I have left of there older version). The three down the center are 2 CLU056 (125w, HLG120-c1050) and1 CLU550 running on 2 HLG120-c1050s. I don't think the Vero's are looking as good, I will keep updating.

Yes, I now own a 36" metal break. I like new tools
