A 2x2 is a very small space to cover. Really any of those options will do fine.

I don't necessarily need to build my fixture. I'm building my grow box so if I do decide 4x120 then I'll make it a little bigger.
How does the heat translate for 135 and 4x120?
135 is max 150 watts.
4x120 at 40 watts each.
Is the wattage/heat relationship the same?
Will the 135 even run at full power when flowering?

More watts more weed
They could both be at the same total wattage. But the 120 would run @ lower single wattages.
Or is my reasoning totally off?
How many?

If you're down to use 4 120boards, you will ha e such an amazing spread. You'll basically have a ceiling of diodes. Hugely beneficial and will be able to bring it very close to your canopy.
What about the heat? Any advice on that aspect?

mathematically, the heat should be the same with 4 boards at 150w vs 1 board at 150w. maybe a degree or two more due to covering the entire space with 4 boards, less air to get through to the top. But you still shouldn't have any problems. The 4 board setup would definitely be the best spread you can get, would be glorious. That being said, yeah a single qb288 would cover that space pretty well too.
@PJ Diaz I do agree that it could be tight. I'm making this so I could change it up slighty for a little more room. Middle board is removeable.
@HolyAngel Im trying to make it a little stealthy. Not sure if thats possible if my fan is at max the whole time trying to bring temps down from 4x120. No a/c, located in Hawaii.

@HolyAngel Yea I guess. I just wanna know how hot 4x120 would get. Average temp in my area is around 78-83.
@PJ Diaz how the heats on that? Do you know temps inside and outside the tent?
What's a temperature range I should be looking for?
