How much ballpark with drivers and everything would you say?

$75 each for the boards. So around $300 for the boards. Plus around another $150 for the driver. Cheaper to DIY, but they also have kits. Just drop them a line, they are very helpful.
Honestly though I am using QB 288 "lm301b" boards I found on Alibaba for like $35 a piece and they have not disappointed. It's all about how much you want to spend and how handy you are with basic tools.

FYI, phones are worthless as light meters. Try tilting it just 1 degree and you'll see how much it changes.
A real light meter has a diffuser so that it collects light from multiple directions at the same time.

They are kind of a novelty. I got the app and tested it on my light.
Here is at the canopy.
Here is 4" under the light.

Did a great job to start man I am not knocking ya. For example I started with a blurple light. Started perusing various hobby grower forums and found out I screwed up. Stick around we'll help ya get on track.

Right on well so far I am having good results I'm sure I could have better results but at least what I have going on is working and maybe I'll end up with some fresh mid grade nugs one thing about my diy flower lights is the ease of upgrades anything that can screw into a light socket and is the proper spectrum can be tested out so I really do like that aspect of this , I have Aspergers so I'm always fiddling with stuff

There's a few folks on here running similar set ups. One guy lighting a 5x5 tent with similar bulbs.
Folks getting great results and that all that matters apart from the enjoyment of building things yourself.

I'm not even giving them enough for it to drain out the bottom if your talking about the clawing that's just that strain I have friends growing the same genetics and they have warned me this particular strain likes to throw out bananas early and pollinate itself and other weird stuff as well all of their plants have the same funky leaves that curl inwards soon enough I'll have something different in there with thosetrying to veg a little bit bigger before I put some more in
