These buddies are very sexual.
A winter solstice in my 3x3 under 4x highlights on 320 driver, pulls 360w

Early days, cut back to buggary.

Flipped these plants to 12/12 last weekend and they are roughly 5 weeks from breaking the soil all under the highlights.
Set the lights to 160 watts from the wall since the flip, temps kinda high in the tent so trying not to overdue it right now. Plant on the left has shown some pistils today, so I know i got at least one female. Excited for the rest of the grow, these seem to have had a nice healthy start so far..

Over the past year of running the High Lights for me its worked out at 1.2 - 1.4 gpw
Nice, I’m still not consistently getting 1gpw with led, even when everything looks like it’s gone perfectly.

Last few runs ive pulled around a pound from a 3x3, yet to put them to the proper test, ive been using a single plant well overgrown and smashed and chopped up to fill that tent best I could in that situation. Looking forward to trying my usual method of four plants better trained after current grow is finished.
I think I could pull 18-20 but time will tell. Same as when I was running QBs. But they do seem to finish a little quicker and a bit frostier.
I would be happy with 12oz on the current run, not as many colas as last two.
How many boards/watts are you running in that 3x3 mate?

I bought four boards, two were going to be for a mate but I couldn't bring myself to part with em..
First time I used them was just the two boards on a 320 driver, then I added the other two board to same driver.
It pulls 360w at the wall.
Certainly not breaking any records at the moment, but that just because im making do with some seriously old plants that I didn't want to go to waste.
Which 320 driver? I’ve got a spare 320-1750 hlg will that run them? Getting 14-16 oz from 360w in a 3x3 sounds impressive to me.I bought four boards, two were going to be for a mate but I couldn't bring myself to part with em..

Its a hlg320-48a
I don't think they would fit on the 320h-c1750. Be over the voltage limit.

Which is 180-190v

You could connect three High Lights in series with that driver, but it wouldn't be a very efficient set-up as it would only draw about 250W (48V x 1.75A x 3 boards). The 320H-C2100 wouild be better, but you would still only get about 300W out of it with three boards.
Thank you for the reply, I also have a spare slate 2 triple heatsink, I don’t know if your boards fit it but I’m thinking 250 watts over a 1x0.5 m tent would work well with unstressed LEDs ? Am I wrong?

Well the good news is you could fit two of our boards to a Slate 2 triple heatsink. The bads news is you can't fit three because our boards are over 1.5x bigger than a Quantum Board so they won't all fit.
But the other good news is you wouldn't need to use a heatsink at all with three of our boards running at around 85W each, so you could build your own simple frame if you wanted to.
The even better news is if you only have a 1x0.5m tent (0.5 square metres), you would only need two of our boards on your Slate 2 triple heatsink and and you could still use your existing HLG-320H-C1750 and have enough power to flower. You would have close to 35W per square foot and all you would need are two High Lights and a bit of time to drill some new holes in your existing heatsink. Cheaper than buying and building your own frame too.
