to know what temps might be like first you need to know the room temp the tent is in.
then measure the temps in the tent with the lights on driver in tent
and next lights on temp with driver outside the tent
and if your using a charcoal filter then the exhaust fan will effect your tents temp.

Got some Ducksfoot clones under my QB 120s in my breeding cabs. Took 20 clones. This duck is a real bitch to clone... hoping to end up with 3-4 usable clones for a breeding project. I've put a white trash bag on top of the humidity dome to lower the light level without messing with the driver... lol. the pair are on a HLG80H-54 in parallel and running at 80 watts total.

Quantum update -

Had SOME of the visitors leave back home , so up went one of my tents back.
It is the 3x3 tent with the 4 QB panel / 2 COB build I made ... ( 304s and citizen cobs )

I just chopped a Godfather today , triches were looking pretty damn good.
Here is some of the buds - FISKERS are caked into some good scissor hash .
But still have some harvesting to go .....

Quantums have always given me nice tight buds ... No real larf just good nugs so far .
I do pinch off tiny flowers during grow to maximize the uppers. Good Purpling from the cold nights , too !

I have two more going with the ducks foot. So I will be letting them go for another 2 weeks at least .

Quantum 3x3 tent :

I placed the Auto Blue Dream in here to ride out the last week or so , she is week 9.
The others are Candy Dreams just flowering for a couple weeks .....
Blue Dream is in full fade ..... Candy has lime green traits that pop from time to time.

Power has been dimmed to about 65% for these girls here ... Praying nicely so I'm not gonna rock the boat.

I lurked @ChaosHunter grow journal using MC and it was a nice test grow.
As he mentioned - CALMAG is essential for QB ... As with other LEDs it seems to be a standby tool in case there is some issues.

I had to course correct some issues with purple stems that were a bit more than just cool temps. He had some good notes about " stepping " the MC based in the plant instead of feed schedule - I believe he started at 1 gram per gallon. Then progressed to 6 grams at late flower. I still like GH MAXIBLOOM/ GROW but his observation about liquids going bad before use , makes powederd Nutes more desireable. My DYNAGRO would clump after some time , you could here the rattle inside the bottles. It's a good nute but shelf life is rather short.

Dr. Earth is another favorite ( they have both powder and liquid of fertilizers ) .

So FF , went to feeding the lawn ( *smirk ) ....
DYNAGRO had to be tossed because of the product separation.
HYDROPLEX - still like this shit.
FF supplement trio : Open sesame / Beastie / Cha Ching ....
I kept these for shit and giggles.

So the Peyote Cookies I popped will get the MC I ordered ....

Here is my drawing for the hole patterns for a qb 120 or qb 288. Its as close as i could measure, have yet to mount the 288's. Any one correct me if I erred. One thing that would be nice is if the mounting holes / slots on the 288 were made slightly larger so they would accept a 6-32 screw with some clearance, .156" would be much better. I like that the qb 120's have .20" dia holes, that will accept up to a #10, but a #6 also is fine.

@Budzbuddha All my stuff went to the local hydro stores freebee bin lol. I did keep the dry stuff.

Growing with the QBs Calmag is a must no matter your nute line. I do like the fact with MC you don't have to use it as much. Also its a balancing act with wattage and light height from the canopy. I actually use a piece of measured para cord to hang down from my light as a reminder. Too many times I've thought my light was 18in and it was more like 12.

I read through your thread with MC and I was curious as to your feeding schedule? I think I might try coco next run after watching your MC thread.
