Quantums love to keep it green !

QB96 warp rig and 4000k Qb
12/12 schedule

QB 304 ( 4 ) 3500k w/ 2 Citi Cobs 3500k - G8 Deep red led ( 630 - 660nm )
18/6

Same layered mix ... no Nutes ... Water Only ( 6.5 )
QB 304s are marching along and plants are happy . 18” drop to canopy .
Temps are static and a non issue. Wish I could grab some more Slate 6 heatsinks .... wanted to maybe upgrade at some point .
The 96s are amazing .... love how powerful they are. I REALLY can see HLG building ( timber like ) rigs with these engines
or even a 3 QB96 BAR LAMP....... Right ? ..... @robincnn @Stephenj37826 ..... lol

Shit i remember when they SOLD cobs .... that’s where those citizens came from.
Are guys gonna offer COBS again .? Just askin.

Stompers are early flower ....
KKP / STRAWBERRY DIESEL are vegging under the 304s.

Installed those qb96e triples with 2 far red on each of the fixtures. I just need a driver or some drivers for the FR. Thinking of running 2 APC 12 700 or 2 APC 16 700. I am thinking the second option.. Any input? perhaps the first option would run cooler and more appropriate since there is no heatsinks ( I am not sure of the heat the FR put out). My lighting covers a 4x8 ( btw there are 2 260 kits on each end of the tent not seen)

The aluminum rail looks pretty solid. You may be better off rethinking. Unless you really want strips that would be pretty cumbersome to install and remove for cleaning. You would have a tough time knocking your head on that raising your head out of the canopy, unless you hung it really high. As well the weight and what your mounting it on, can it support. In my opinion what you want could be better accomplished. On another note I have seen strip builds that look decent. Just make sure you make a good decision that your happy with. That's all that matters.

Before I had 2 QB88 260 kits ( triple in length ) mounted inplace on those thinner QB96e fixture. I was always hitting my head on it. In a sense I am happy mixing the fixtures as the thinner profile of the qb96e really makes a difference for access.

@Stephenj37826 has me squared away with lights and heatsinks... I might just make something that looks like that frame in a lighter version...
