Been using a hlg 600h for about 3-4 weeks now on some autoflowers.. how much power are y’all putting to your HLGs? 50% and they’re getting light stress. Want to make sure they’re getting enough light all the way through

Ok , I have a new build coming together with QB96s and some “ extras “ ....

Dubbed : The WARP CORE

60DEA112-29CD-4904-AAB1-5E8A0EFD5BB5.jpeg



2 QB 96 with 2 Sunblaster T5 HO nanotech lamps .

They WILL be running an AGROMAX UV and a 10000k FINISHER bulb.
2 foot bulbs .

They came with 2 6400k bulbs which in turn can be used ALONE for new starts , seedlings
OR for added BLUE to QB. This thing pretty much designed itself. Nanotech lamps will have one daisy chain connector and might make switched.

QB will be powered by
  • HLG-320H-C2800
  • Type B
  • Remote mount / remote dimmer

T5 AgroMax also has a VEG/UV that I might grab for experimenting.
So I will be able to run these combinations ...

UV ( only )
10000k ( only )
—————-
Dual 6400k
—-————
QB 96 elites ( only )

This will later on be the CENTER MODULE of a 4 panel QB288 3000k cri 90 set.
I already have the 4 so I will use them on a HLG-600H-54 also type b ( dimmer ).
No optics will be used. 24” between QB ... these also may get the quick disconnect harness I did on one of my original builds that had release for dimmer control and driver. So I can drop the core for straight 4 panel QB grows and using CORE for a supplemental in any other room or area.

Obviously this may be a little much but with the flexibility of running the core solo , or QB panels alone or in multiple configurations and power levels. The UV component will definitely have to have a short interval timer and have to get some eye protection. So experimenting will be done.

Thank @robincnn @Stephenj37826 for your great products and your dedication to the DIY builder.

Keep me in mind if you need some “ testing “ ... WINK WINK ... LOL.

I just used the Agromax Pure UV bulb. Extremely powerful you can smell it. I used a digital timer that allows 2 outlets to be programmed separately with up to 20 times. I started out with 15 mins 2 times a day for 3 days, then upped it to 15 mins 4 times a day for an hour total. After a week of that I bumped it up to 2 hours, then to 4 hours. I had zero negative effects from it and I feel I could have definitely added more time to it.
I think I had my lights on at 7, and the first UV on an hour after, then every 2 hours it came on.
Definitely turn it off when u go in the room, or wear long sleeves ect. I trimmed fan leaves off a plant and totally forgot about it being on for about 15 mins. Luckily I had a sweater on, my hands and the back of my neck were lookin pretty red after.

Yeah that is one of the final pieces is the digital timer ... I did look at solacure but since amazon goofed on an order awhile back , I had a credit and used on a double pack. I was thinking along that 3x on during a 12 hour run at 15 min intervals to start. AgroMax bulbs are good start to work with and at a reasonable cost.

Also the Reptilsun 10.0 bulbs will work in this too in case I need a bulb

I like the linear aspect of the build and is totally easy to hang.
I won’t use it until I clear out current late flower plants , clean out grow area and move QBs around.
Waiting on the mean wells , looking for a small “ project” box for the linear pots , and wiring.

Oh yeah and some eye shades so I can get raccoon eyes like trump.
