Not my thread, but he will keep the wall-watts even on both sides. Admittedly, the leds on the 960 side will be run a bit harder...but not much. See first post.:mrgreen:
I did read the first post which is the reason for my post. Wall Watts will give the advantage to the highest diode count (around 25% more diodes) as I've stated. Later captainM said he would use a light sensor to keep the canopies at the same light levels. Using that light sensor should compensate for the uneven diode count.

Not exactly..... Captians 80 cri are s5 bin so new boards will be closer in efficacy to the old ones than not. It will really come down to spectrum........ I know where my money is lol.

@captainmorgan I see you use octopots. Have you ever used auto pots? Can you tell me what swayed you to octo over auto? If I am reading the info correct the octopot would be a better fit for organic soil growing?

Thanks brother, and this is looking killer as usual for you (:

Never tried auto pots, the growth in octo's is crazy so I don't think you could rely on a soil mix making it through flower without running out of gas way early.
