Nice canopyAnother update.. Day 21.. These LEDs saved my ass, my AC failed and has been out for the pasted few days as i try to fix it.. I am able to cool the room with only intake and exhaust fans.. I could never have done that with DEs..View attachment 4032701
First off I would like to say beautiful grows , very impressive. Looks like those qb’s are kicking some ass!!Harvest numbers are in..
HPS = .6g Per Watt at 3k
Cobs = 1.1g per watt at 620w
QB = .9g per watt at 120w
I am happy with the harvest from this strain. She is a low to med yielder.. I dont much like her but my circle lovers her..

Quick question; you running your DE HPS lamps at 1000W or the 1150W setting the manufacturer recommends?First off I would like to say beautiful grows , very impressive. Looks like those qb’s are kicking some ass!!
On a side note your g/w with hps is super low!! I believe you went way overboard using 1k de fixtures to light a 4x4 area. I feel like you could have used 600w de’s with no loss in quality or quantity which would have likely put you in the 1 g/w range right next to your cob fixture. I’m definitely no led hater nor am I a hps lover but I’m using 4 1k de’s to light a 12’x12’ room and it is stupid bright in there.
I have been looking into the qb’s and trying to figure if it would be worth the switch from current de’s I have but I’m feeling like I would need like 6 of your qb rigs to cover the same space my de’s cover which would only save me a few hundred watts and cost 3 x what my fixtures did.
Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated.

No, running at 1k I have never run my ballasts on super or anything like that, never heard of any manufacturer recommending the 1150 setting. As far as I knew they are bulb rated at 2100 Umol on the 1k setting, seen them tested at 24” at 1900 umol.Quick question; you running your DE HPS lamps at 1000W or the 1150W setting the manufacturer recommends?
