Thinking out loud here...

how about a 3 panel light. The middle panel is ~5K, the 2 outer panels 3000k, with the 2 3Ks on a separate o/o switch. seems like a near perfect veg-harvest light. At ~ 300w it should easily supply a personal use grower.

Depending on how intense you like your light 3000k veg's really well. I've had customers who had to raise the HLG 550 to 30" to get the plant to grow up and this was a sat leaning hybrid.
 
3000k veg great although admittedly I've never veg with 5000k cobs just fluoros and cfls. Other than unwanted stretch (never suffered this) and decreased luminous efficacy (not decreased enough for me to care), are there other drawbacks to 3000k veg?

My last COB's for veg were 5K and did fantastic. Right now I am not seeing anything lacking in this 3K QB compared to the 5K Cree's from before. As the run goes further I will provide more feedback. There will be a detailed journal next week. Finishing getting everything setup right now. I am doing my plant training as usual and getting no unwanted stretch at all. On the contrary much squatter plants than I would have ever expected here. I am finding this to be very curious in a good way.........

That sounds like a nice build .....
C1050 running the center 5000k panel
C2100 for the 3000k panels
Both Dimmable.

You could be vegging some red solo cup plants or a seedling tray in the middle and flower on the sides , that would be awesome.

Flippity flop all over the place on day 54.
Biggest frostiest colas I've grown thus far. Dying to smoke these and see how they compare to my last run with them under the Vero 29's.
Looking forward to see everybody's harvests under the QB's!

What is that medium ... Chunky perlite ??

It's Nutrifield 70/30 coco perlite with gs-2 Growstones. All those chunks you see are the Growstones. They are pretty awesome and will definitely be a part of my mix no matter what medium I'm using. I do suggest poking holes in the bag and rinsing the whole bag before using them though to get rid of the glass dust since they're made from recycled glass.

Not that I know of. "3000k" in these Samsung have more blue than"3000k" in Cree..... These are really closer to "3500k" Cree. So that's why I recommend 3000k Samsung's as the best do it all CCT. They have 3500k in the Samsung but I feel it would be a little too neutral white for my taste in flowering.
 
Those buds are nice and all, but do not seem special. I guess for low wattage they're pretty big or something. A single cola plant should have waaaaay bigger buds, all the buds on this plant were the same size.

200w first 30 days and 240w the rest.
2x2.5 tent. This pheno is a decent yielder but no monster by any means. From rooted rapid rooter to 12/12 in 3 days in 1 gallon pots.
This is only a test I repeat this only a test and it's only the beginning.

This may be true but genetics is the biggest factor in bud size. Can you show me some Platinum Cookies buds that big? Just saying the buds he is showing could be some of the biggest ever for that genetic or not.
