No pics, sorry, due to healthy paranoia. Hoping to document something when we do the next stage but i cant really post plants due to security. I know, pics or it didnt happen... at least ill post some pics of the lights. Maybe plants in the future but probably not here where it would be connected to my account.

Edit: perhaps over pm... Ill let you know after ive been back out at the op

And also, its open space, ailes. ;)

IMG_20190318_033300.jpg What would you guys who have been through a few runs with these boards say is the optimal hang-distance? How do you guys tweak for the best results? Particularly in transitioning them into flower. I'm at about 23,000LuxIMG_20190318_033552.jpg

The boards she offered me was 185 too, and the ones listed on the site. Ok I see it but Rita and this rock Liu is from the same company? Do y’all think the 20 dollar difference per board is worth 4 more inches in width?

Wider board is better if you want to run it with no heatsink. Smaller if you want to mix with colored strips.

I always want to run with no heatsink make me feel comfortable using 1/16th angle. Cheaper and lighter. I always have fans blowing up towards the upper canopy and lights do you think that would be enough? Now it make sense why Bruce shipping was cheaper. He was able to use a slimmer carton. Maybe Rita dimensions she sent me was a typo the picture of the box was def wider then Bruce box. Though he did ship through sf express. I brought 4K boards to go with my cutter 4 far red and 8 red strips. And a couple 3k boards just to compare without running supp red strips. Still deciding if I want to run them(strips)under 20 watts each. Currently only have 2 Hlg 60s,higher drivers was out of stock at trc.My clones are almost ready in a week or so I’ll have a thread started of my board strip fixture over My table. I’m considering doing vegged coco plants over my usual clone to ebb and flow table. But then I would need to setup a drip line system. Something I’ve never had luck with. Don’t have enough time to add more plants to hand water&train.....my ideal light fixture to go over my 4x4 tables are 3 832 boards and 4 red strips.

Hey, I'm about to pull the trigger on the 600h-2 kit with heatsinks and the single 600 W meanwell driver. My grow space is 4x8, and shrinks to about 3x7 once the inline extractors kick in. I'm currently running a cheapo King Led Kingplus 3000W which is pretty dope for the price, though it covers merely 3x5 , and the side gyals are just hibernating. So I was hoping I can remedy the situation with this bargain of a QB. My idea was to run them high wattage as a one long ass bar so that the sides will of course have less par but not drastically less like it was before.
Another option would be stagger them slightly as it might be a tad too tight of a fit.
Here's some pics of the setup I'm currently boasting.
Yup, it's a 4x4x8 flipped on its side. Because reasons.
I used it upright in the previous grow and got very good results, uniform light footprint and very high quality yield, got 450 g's from 3 sativa gyals that where vegged for 7 weeks and scrogged.
They had so much dank on them, I make CBD oil 1:1, 1 gram = 1 ml of 20% concentration.
I got the idea to flip it on the side because I felt that the light might just handle the space, problem is that the side gyals are photperiods and got shaded by stretching autos in flower. Well that's why we experiment, to learn that we are idiots.
Hoping to get some good guidance here guys :)
Keep it growing y'all :)
