Got my slate 3 up and running
4000k QB 288 in my 2x4 tent full blast


@ttystikk I see that you been feeling the 3000k spectrum.

Do you think it would be a good combo if I added in a 3000k 90w QB288in the middle of the slate 3? This light will work as a
Veg/ flower set up

Everything I own is either 3000K or 3500K. If I had it to buy all over again, every scrap of it would be 3000K 90CRI, for clones, veg, bloom and finish.

That would be an awesome light .... Cool thing is this panels are upgradable, so you can swap spectrums and CRI .... Plus the spare panels can be built as supplement rigs ..

Quantum babies -
This thread has got some nice ass plants going on , so I popped a few more too.

Arjan Strawberry Haze - stout little shit and tight nodes .Broad ass leaves
( Hope I'm not growing Rhubarb.... LOL )

Blue Glue - ( Blue Mammoth X Gorilla Glue)
Full 100% perlite medium ( Hempy bucket ) ... Already showing colors on first tru leaves.

Happy Growing Guys !

Quick question folks, I see people mixing different light spectrums. But what I can't understand is, once all this mixing up of spectrums is done what bloody spectrum are you actually running?.
For example 3xqb boards at 3k and say 3x4k or some deep reds it's no longer 3k or 4k.. So is it really worth it?.
A logical answer to this would be appreciated.

To broaden the spectrum = higher CRI

Yes to broaden the spectrum, but with this mix of spectrum how much of it is actually used by the plant and how much wasted, compared to running a garden using just one spectrum ie 3000k. Maybe a question for @robincnn HLG since they are designing these boards and should have a clear understanding.

I have a alot of spectrums running from a bunch of diy rigs 3k always looks the best. I have 3k cmh and 3k qb they outperform 4k cmh 2700k cob and 3500k cob. In the future I'll use all 3k. I don't think the spectrum mixes very well when using multiple boards if you want mixed spectrum it would be better to have the diodes on the board alternate color for better mixing.

And mixing doesn't match the efficiency of using the right spectrum in the first place.

Hey guys, since quantum boards are supposed to have very good light penetration, do you guys think a less flat canopy with less drastic LST would be more beneficial? About to start my first grow with a kit and brainstorming what I should end up doing.
