4 of the 288s are atreum 288.2s and 1 288 I brought off eBay from China. I dunno if there is much difference between the atreum and HLG lights except the price but the Atreum’s work good enough for me.
price mostly. Some quality differences
In the diode bins and slight differences in footprint but minimal. The Atreum boards are essentially v1 hlg panels with a square layout vs rectangular. Your panels look more rectangular than squares which is why I didn’t notice them as Atreum’s.

If you like similar boards check out cutters solskins boards and grow lights Australia’s highlights boards, the newer boards all have far red chips so you wouldn’t need the extra boards other than to run the Emerson effect with the deep reds.

I brought them a while ago. They may have 415 uvs now. I don’t want to look on their site I already had enough lights lol
but are they good 415 uv pumps. Smd uv diodes are currently expensive so China is likely to swap them out especially on small orders they pretty much know won’t have the equipment to check.

Pyrethrin
Neem oil
Mavrik
Mancozeb
They are my go to for pests although i havent used pyrythrin since plants were still in early veg stage. I thought u cldn use any of these during flowering?
neem oil is fine up until about week 3-4. Green cleaner can be used whole way through apparently

I had read online to run the Emerson boards the whole lights on. The deep red 5mins before lights on. And 10mins at lights off for the far red. But I couldn’t find a light channel controller thing so I could use the Emerson boards 660nm and 730nm separately before/after lights. So I already had the 2x qb11s so I Just 2 more drivers and timers to use before/after lights. And just plug the Emerson boards in with the 288s timer.
i don’t run it so not entirely sure but I thought it was deep reds only which don’t actually do much in a plant other than act as hormone triggers hence why only before and after lights out. Extra white/blue light during that time would defeat the purpose.

its still ok bruh, do some plant training or netting and drop the light a bit,

or next time remember to do that befor it flowers in veg

or just leave it and add an extra flouro or something

you'll be right they look like they gonna give you a good amount of weed when they done

It maybe the 288 in the middle putting them off. It’s a rectangle but the Atreum’s are 228x228 I’m pretty sure. I actually seen the growlight Australia get a mention on a different forum this morning I’ll check them out. I’ve seen 288s with the reds built in but I didn’t know they were used for Emerson effect I thought it needed 660 and 730 for the effect?

Hmmm. From what I had read online and using the same idea as this I found online I thought the 660 and 730 together is used for the Emerson effect and the 730 at lights off to increase flowering quicker and quickening flowering times

Kingbrite don’t seem to have 415nm on their site. I think rapidled sell them but I’ve never built my own light so Dunno. But no doubt China sure will.
