Shweeeet! Request...can you take a pick of the top side of the panel, and what do the PAR readings look like around the tent? I was going to say canopy, but that is a bit overstated just yet. Thanks.

Boards are just riveted to a 24" square 1/8" thick sheet of aluminum, been running about 2 hours and only warm to the touch on the back. I'll be taking readings this weekend.

Can't wait to see your results with these Cap. I think you'll like these a lot. Are you going to scrog?

The Chaos 4x4 is a new generation and from seed. Looks like she is going to be short and stout structure so I'll just let her go natural with some clean up. Won't be vegging much more because it's a unproven pheno, I'll take clones and maybe scrog next time if she's a winner.

Growing Chaos 4x4 in a 3x3 tent, just to eliminate any confusion.

Subbed. You beat me to it. I am waiting on Robin for my order of one for a go in a closet tent. Curious to see how this does for you. Thanks for sharing this.

so whats the idea of the 4x4? to pheno hunt and backcross with F2s to eventually get to an IBL?

I'm not a breeder but have grown the original Chaos clone and a BX2 from seed and now the 4x4 from seed, so far I prefer the BX2. My guess would be to stabilize the cross for more consistency among the seeds, I'm pheno hunting.

Good luck CM....... sounds like a crazy good strain

I did originally think that you were doing a 4' x 4' grow, lol

Those lights aren't going to make much intensity, those look best for side lighting or a novelty item.

Capt what driver are you using for the 4 boards ?

well hes running them at 74W, they can do up to 200W each which can easily do a 2x2 with one board

Could not be simpler, just hook up the positive from the driver to the positive on the first board then connect the second positive to the next board and repeat. Same for negative.
