Two qb120s or one qb288 v2 for a 3x2x5 space? If I go the 2x qb120 route it looks like a heat sink is not necessary but would a heat sink make it easier to mount the lights and driver since I wouldn’t have to mount the driver outside the tent? All this is assuming the qb120 come back in stock at some point.

I'd suggest two QB132s, actually. Two QB120s will give you about 120w, and one QB288 will give you about 150w (if you max it). Two QB132s give you the same 150w as the single 288, but with better spread/coverage.

It is so much to read. But thank you for you trying explain about the different lights hps and cfl but i think i might be little slowly . Where is it easy to learn about different lights? I dont understwnd the technology why it is better. Ohhh, fuck its difficult.

Don´t forget that QB 120 and 132 are out of stock (for good?), while 288s appear to be in good supply. I´ve been looking for a couple of 120s to complete my veg tent, a couple of pages ago we even had Stephen taggin Robin but no word, I imagine he is way too busy with the new drop etc.

Testing two 324 qb's running at 320 watts in a 5 x 2.5, see if they can yield close to half a 1k hps. Im hoping to use 4 boards per rig to take out 1k hps's. These are Cherry Chems from topdawg 3 weeks into bloom. No keepers unfortunately, i ran them under a 600 hps in a genetic test tent. So I took the clones and figured instead of getting rid of them I'd run them same way as 600 hps run to compare against the quantums.

Happy Friday all ....

Chopped the BD S1 .... It was an experiment grow from the start , to do a cross.
This S1 is the first seed from a batch I got from a self pollinated HSO Blue Dream auto.

That original plant was CS sprayed ( 2 lower branches ) for FEMMY POLLEN.
She threw pods which I collected pollen and SELFED 2 other branches to make the S1.
I began CS around day 21 or so as she would start preflower around day 35-40 . I did daily spray in morning and before lights out. I sprayed this way for about a week , day or two then stopped. Once it auto sexed ( pistils ) , I just watched them ( tagged with string ) for the rest of the grow. Within another week some small pods formed .

They grew fatter daily , so watching them was important. I didn't want or NEED many , just enough to use for this plant ..... I harvested them , laid them on a white piece of paper to dry ( no fan .... Lol ) for a few days . Once I seen some splitting , I grabbed a 150 mesh classifer ( I go prospecting sometimes , so it's perfect ) and scuffed them thru over mirror .
There is where I dabbed a small fine point brush and q tips with yellow gold.

Sometimes I dry them further ( longer after laying out ) in a glass test tube with stopper removed .... They begin to open and dump , I also use a small wood skewer to mash and turn within bottom to further dump. Then I dip a brush. I never store it , I just make enough to play with.

HSO BLUE DREAM S1

This the first popped / harvested from that SELFED PLANT. This the harvested plant you see below ......This IS NOT a grow for smoke only , just to sample the S1 breed and make a cross. I still have plenty of S1 to grow or play with. The top / mid was harvested for the SMOKE PART and the lower branches were DUSTED with that BX1 that was a full auto male. It was saved for pollen use only and this S1 was in early flower.

Bx1 ( Berry 47 x Deep Sea Creature) - Auto ( full male )
Crossed to
HSO BLUE Dream ( S1 ) auto

HERE IS A SEED POD ( splitting open )
Unnamed for now ...:bigjoint:

This is the buds I will consume ( for science .... Lol ) BELOW ....
