Maybe... I was just throwing it out there because I didn't think you had a driver you were using yet. This driver doesn't have a potentiometer to increase/decrease output. Its 300 watts on all the time.

I agree ice! When I mentioned a dog she said something along the lines of a chihuahua... told her get the damn kitten and be done! My 6’5 size 14 shoe would demolish that dog on a daily basis... no thanks

If you’re using 3 k on the other ones it’d give you a nice spectrum mixture. If not get a 288 or two. Or in a perfect work two 96’sn

My 132s are 3500k. So equal 4K would give me a 3750 spectrum?
I can get two qb 96. Wonder how much the cheapest driver for them are.

What driver would go with this? Does rspec means it has some reds?? Hlg site doesn’t say a lot on this

Edit those sabers look really nice. And have the reds. May get two of them.

Nope, it doesn't work like that. The 3500k will continue putting out 3500k and you'll just have 4000k being pumped out too. With the additional 4000k you'll probably get very low amounts of stretch. My QB132 quads at 3500k only allowed about a foot of stretch.

So basically, don’t get 4000k? Gotcha

The sabers would be an excellent pick up. I’ve been debating grabbing one or two of them. But I’ve got pretty good coverage with (4) 96’s. So at this point I’ll probably just add some 35’s and the other two 96’s at some point and call it good.

Well... that's not what I meant. I guess it depends on what you want your grow to do. I personally have a height limitation so for my plants to have less stretch would be a good thing. Plus, less stretch could also mean closer together bud nodes, which is what I'm seeing, so the top colas are longer and overall bigger with little to no separation between those nodes.
My QB132 3500k lights have reduced the stretch I was getting before by about 8 inches; from around 20" to about 12" to 15". If I added more of them at 4000k, I think that stretch might be more like 8" to 10".

My needs being more lights to fill my 4x4 I need a few hundred more watts and have 4 qb132 at 70w each. 3500k. Just wanna know what’s best bang for my buck

Are you running those 96s from one driver? Serial or parallel connectivity?
Smokexbreak

No I’m running (2) 320h-54a two 96’s on each driver with enough room to add a 3rd one on each driver. I’m running them parallel. If I add the other two I can drive them hard but still not be close to maxing them out. I’ll take the spread vs the higher wattage since I can just raise and drop them to get my desired intensity.
