double check my QB setup please

[JonCreighton]

I just got my 96s in the mail. before I upgrade the setup im going to finish this grow w the qb96s to get a little experience. I can learn hypothetically but I need practical experience for shit to click.

I got a month left w some sour apples. iv wired and hung them....

I got 6 In there 3 96s on 1 320-54a driver. I need 500-600 watts correct?
I get them up today about a foot away from the top of the canopy and adjusted the wattage to about 100 watts.
is it as simple as that?

How big is the canopy area?

o man, im sorry 4x4....

Ill learn this. not looking to be riding any coattails. just don want to destroy an thing overnight.

this is temporary like I said but I thought this was a neat trick.

its two coat hanger. just slide under the bottom of the filer. one would have worked but I used two and it solid. just wrap the tops over the bars a little more the regular curve is not strong enough

Most people who run QBs in a 4x4 tent run 480W but some go higher.

if it works it works...
480w in qb is plenty. 600 will be overkill unless you got your shit dialed in perfectly and the girls are able to absorb 1100par, otherwise 800-900 is what 480w can achieve fairly evenly
