So many options my head is spinning...I need a new light for a 4x4 tent and am torn between the QB288s now since it’s on sale or just buying a Timber Redwood.

QB288 V1's look like a good deal now..

Get the 288s! You'll be glad you did!

Triple combo okay in a 4x4? I was going to get a set of the double combo 288s but they’re sold out. Just not sure how the triple will fit.

The triple slate heat sink? Yea, should fit a 4x4. Two of those could do a 4x4 really good from my understanding. Check the measurements of the heatsink on HLG website.

The triple will work fine. the heatsink is 35 inches long, 891mm

My QB 304, four board light will be 2 years old next month! Just cleaned up the tent for the new grow. I'll be growing 2, Short Stuff Amnesia CBD and 2 of my own, Blue Dragon. All will be in auto pots and fed Megacrop. QB lights is running on a 320H-C2800b, all 4 in parallel. I'm pulling 363 watts at the wall. Minus about 23 watts for driver and wire losses 85 watts per board. I forgot, I think they are 3500k. I'll post pic when I transplant into the auto pots in a few days.

here's the light when first installed in the tent. Tomato plant seemed happy lol

Hey pop ... are running the newer MC formula ?
I still got like 8 sampler bags that I am finally starting to go thru.

I've not recieved my order yet. I'm going to test it in the CBD test grow I've just started. Hopefully it will be here before I start up my auto pots

Got my new Megacrop yesterday! I'll be starting the grow in the next few days

And here are the candidates for the test. Short Stuff Amnesia CBD

Hmm wrong thread but I'll work them in ;lol! They'll be growing under my QB 304, 4 board light in auto pots. I'll be testing the new Megacrop 2.o formula on them.

LOL! I put that in the broom closet when I'm keeping males for breeding, and as a just in case light

they make great door stops too!

what a nice, brisk day today. -10F and the wind blowing.........

My hometown was -11* this morning. I don't live there anymore!

I'm happily working indoors, 7f in Philly.....fuck

Thankfully these temps will knock down the deer tick populations. Lyme disease has been ravaging this state in recent years; nasty......
