4x4 lighting question

[Deusracing]

Damn i get better growth under my 315 cmh

Same here’s my little grow 100w hlg

A Timber is like $800, right? A HLG QB96 rig shouldn't be much more than $600 for equal wattage. $180 for two HLG-320H-54A drivers. $$380 for six QB96's. $40 for misc wire, connectors, and hangers.

I haven't been able to find a more effecient umol/j light, or even ppfd map than the Geekbeast Pro 630 watt.
If I could go back before I spent money on any of my other lights, I would have just bought that one in the first place.

I am going to be jamming (3) Spiderfarmer SF1000 and (1) SF4000 in my 4x4 lol I am excited to see what I yield

Two 240's. Now I run three QB96's per 240 for a total of around 480watts. It's plenty of light for me, and frankly you can crank those A type drivers way past 240watts. I can hit close to 300watts with both dials set to max.

Advantage to running in 2x240 vs one 480?
I’m looking at this right now - seems like a lot of light for the $...

I’m in Canada and it’s always a bitch ordering from US ($75 shipping HLG, then I get hit with duties at the border), they don’t carry the qb96 in their Canadian site for some reason

Lol that’s awesome - should be killer results

Lol I would think I would kill the plants with too much ppfd, but I do have co2 enrichment. I think if I bring it up to 1500 ppm they should be able to soak up the light

They seem decent. What's the cost on those after shipping? I know there were issues with the Far Red only being able to be on during main lights on, but maybe they fixed that?

Currently HLG Scorpion Diablo is the most efficient fixture based on independent testing, and the par map is more even than the Gavita 1700e.

Aha. import fees get you there.

 

[lakesidegrower]

Yep, but that one would be shipped from Canada, so no import fees or shipping

Being able to spread them out more and have a move even canopy coverage.

Ok right, that makes perfect sense

I decided to get 2 x P1500 and 2 x P1000 Viparspectra for 2 tents instead of single lights in each tent at double the specs. Means i can spread the lights out to cover the tent, split them in to smaller tents as singles, arrange them to do a long grow space like a 2x8 so they are more versatile. And if your one and only single light fails in the middle of a grow you still have lighting while you source a replacement.
