hmm weird ive also never received the wrong driver, shitty luck...... what driver were you trying get running with the 4-132s?

Ive never had a meanwell fail yet, although im probably due.... lots of airflow on my lights keeping things cool is what i attribute to my success as certain meanwells can get damn hot..... and youve had more then 1 fail frank? without even working from the get go??? have you checked voltage...

Sounds like your setup great ,2 plants and that much light will work great.... I run 84-88f but thats dwc, if your plants are thriving they seem to handle/love the higher temps better... most people do 82-84f You'll prob want to dim those lights or have them high tell about the start of...

yeah i would keep trying(different angles) or try a different screw driver..... it takes me like 10-15 seconds to get my philips head to engage and ive done it 100 times

1300 watts on 2 plants..... love it when strains can handle the light (week 7 of 10)

I got that recently, but adding calcium seemed to clear it up

4k for limiting stretch

Ive got one of those blueberry fem from seedsman too, and its gotta be the pickiest plant when it comes to nute/light intesity compared to anything else ive grown.....

I am also on 1.62.....All of your items are on the Main page tab ..... you have to add in your own fertilizers as it mostly comes with stock ferts such as calcium nitrate or magnesium sulfate sorta deal (no brands) I then add all my ferts i have around to substance selection... i would start...

I use hydrobuddy to mix out my ferts, it takes a minute to figure it out but once you do it makes life easy....used to use megacrop v1/v2.... on jacks now as it gives me a bit more control/leaves me with a cleaner res. Megacrop v2 is pretty low on mag and phos in my opinion and too high in K

As long as you got enough heatsink/cooling you "should" be able to run em at 130w but i wouldnt push too much above that.... if you cant hold your hand on the heatsink for 5 seconds its on the hotside of things and i would either add airflow or dim the lights.... for full power i would just set...

qb288s can be run without heatsinks only up to 60w, and the qb120 v2s can be run up to 70w... also keep in mind that the qb120 uses a more efficient led than the QB288 V1.... with 6 288's he would be maxed out a 360w which just isnt enough, and he already has drivers for qb120 i believe

Yeah, i like to build mounting locations for my drivers into the frame, but thats up to you.... the center of the frame should have room for a couple

Shouldnt need any with the 120's, although i would put an oscillating fan just above light height pointing down at the topside of the leds if you can .... this will help cool the boards drastically at the cost of heating your tent up a bit.... the faster you run the oscillating fan the hotter...

8 should work great in a square pattern leaving a hole in the center(think tic tac toe).... thats max of 560w which is a bit high but thats what dimming is for....i would probably dim your drivers down to 300-400w to start and slowly push up to 500w once/if your plants can handle it
