That's what chilled is doing the problem is it's way more expensive alot of people won't pay double for a tiny bit more color.

Pineapple Chunk at 10 O'Clock, Pepper Plant at 1 O'Clock, Purple Afghan Kush at 4 o'clock, and Power Grape at 7 o'clock. Under 4x QB288 in parallel with a HLG-480H-54A driver. 2x 4000K, 1x 3000K, 1x 2700K. They are all about 30 days into flower.

@Stephenj37826 @robincnn On the website Only lets you buy 2 or 8 boards ?
Cant buy 1 or 9 or 3 or 7 ?

What layout would you guys recommend for a 320 watt 3 qb288 kit along with 4 of the qb120 at 240 watts? This is for a 30x48 tent. I know it may be overkill but I can dim down as needed. I just want excellent coverage.
I was thinking of a 28x36 frame with the 320 watt kit running down the middle and the 4 qb120 at each corner.

this is my 4x qb288 setup. it measures 27.5x30", it'd fit right in there. I use an hlg-480h-54A for 4 boards in parallel

They are packaged in boxes of 2 to protect the boards better during shipping. 2 inside a box then boxed for shipment. Most people buy even numbers generally.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We can do odd numbers but the system we set up for much quicker turn arounds is multiples of 2.

Thanks. I'll try and get some more direct airflow over them. I wish I could buy all new heatsinks from you guys. If I spend another 100$ on heatsinks I could've just bought the thing pre-built.

So just slightly larger than a 2'x4'? You'll have excellent coverage with the three 288s. I can't think of a good reason to cram four 120s in as well. And I'm not sure how you'd fit them into that space - seems pretty tight. Maybe if you ran them vertical, as side-lighting, but why use the extra electricity? Those 288s will penetrate like a motherfucker. You'd get way more bud for your watts if you just used the 120s for a second, separate grow space.
What size space do you think I could flower with the 4 120s? I have another tent the same size and a 30x30 that I am vegging with now. I could veg in the extra tent and flower in the existing veg tent

A 30"x30" tent would be perfect for four QB120s. Run them on a Meanwell HLG-240H-C2100A and you'll max out at more than 250w at the wall.

Pretty much what im running save for a bigger driver so I can add two more but shit I may not need another two for this space lol.
These plants are a few weeks into flower had to swap tents so now there 1st day under the four 120 boards to finish the remainder of flowering. I love my Cree build but these boards have such a great spread!

Did I miss the new stock ? .... I really tried to stay sober for it and I don't see anything on site .... Damn it . I needed two 120s for my old sick granny growing rutabagas in an old boot .... Right now she is crying .... Thanks a lot ...
I think the new 132s come out next week and more 120s the 2nd week of January

Thanks ... I guess good ol granny Gertrude will have to make do with the half candle that provides the only heat and light for her rutabagas. She took the news about the 120s very hard ..... Wailing into a moth eaten handkerchief , sobbing about her rutabagas.
