1 96 in a 2x4 isn’t gonna do it just because it has the watts lol. Still need coverage buddy.in a 2x4 tent you only need ~280-300w so you could get one hlg96e and a 240h-54 and call it a day. you dont need to run it any hotter. but if you want to get a 320h-54.
same driver if you want 2 boards in parallel, hlg240h-54a, or 320h-54 for hotter
pretty much any 54v contant voltage driver will power just about any number of these boards.
they are incredibly versatile.

One won’t do shit for flowering in a 2x4, just look at the maps and my 10/29/18 post on crosslighting effect.I disagree
You could do that if money was an issue and it would work fine. Could add more as you can afford them.
Ask @Stephenj37826 , but i believe door number 2: 630 & 660I still do not know what reds use ..... nichia? lumiled? osram? 630nm ?
would 2 be enough for a 2x4 using 320w to drive them?One won’t do shit for flowering in a 2x4, just look at the maps and my 10/29/18 post on crosslighting effect.
Short answer, yes; long answer, read the thread, then i’ll answer remaining questionswould 2 be enough for a 2x4 using 320w to drive them?

1 in a 2x4 for flowering will suck. Besides not enuf coverage for multiple plants in a 2x4, you will either evaporate your single plant or starve it of light...that’s what the maps show...Guarantee you can flower with 1 96 on a 240-54a in a 2x4 I don’t need ppfd charts or any charts to prove it. It just won’t cover the 2x4 with an even spread. But when you get more money you can add a second board without upgrading the driver to improve spread.
If you read my original post or know me at all you know I’m not advising this I’m saying you can get by if it’s all you can afford. I run minimum 4 points of light in all my grow spaces personally

I originally was planning on getting 3 QB288s for a 2x4 tent until i ran across this thread/site but now i think i want the qb96s instead.Just not sure if 2 would give good coverage
Two will be great...2 96s are better than 3 288’s...due to 96’s supplemental reds....i read the entire thread a couple days i ago

How far away is light to get 51.1 PPFD at 13.6 watts, and assuming just one light?Day 30 from seed pop - 288 vs 96 smackdown: Mothers (topped earlier at 5th true node, all stem fan leaves removed), 1/4+” diam laterals get cut in next few days:

That yuge blue peak makes these 96s fantastic for propagation and veg.

Thank you, I was expecting a different response.I’ll get that measured in a few...
Why diff? Phadubious asked a question about something not posted. I know you have been reading the thread. Pisses me off having done all the work, people can’t even read the f’king thread, for things already posted.Thank you, I was expecting a different response.
I have a request as well if you will. I'm@ 125 watts w/one light. Can you give me the ppfd @ any height you desire you want to input to get the desired readings? It's being used in veg in the tent 5sqft.
I guess what I'm asking is what height is optimal in my situation for veg. And what is that ppfd reading
