Why didn't you ask him the height he plans on running his lights at. Would have a huge impact whether the plants are getting too much light or not...

I obviously came to the wrong place looking for opinions lol. Yes, I agree that the addition of quantum boards would be way too much light, but without them I will have a lot of control over how much light the plant canopy actually sees.

Absolute worst case scenario is I go ahead and buy my 3x3 tent to use as my flower space and use this space for vegging and clones.

I have a lot of options. Pretty much done here in the quantum boards thread for now. I'll most likely be back in the future when I expand my space again

I'm not offended. I considered running @1050 to get me down to 240 watts, but why? I can always slightly dim or raise the light if it seems excessive. This also opens the door for C02 experimentation down the road. I've been researching for weeks, and chose my 6 COB rectangular design over the 4 cob bar, based on the depth of the closet. People run 12 COBs in 4x4s pretty often. My design is very similar spacing.

May I ask more about your setup? Just looking for which COBs, how many, and driven how hard.

I have a whole thread full of details, check out my Vertical Goodness in the vertical section. The sexy COB LED shit starts on page 129.

In the same section I have a thread featuring the quantum boards from HLG that's well worth a gander, too.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm always happy to be proven wrong! I'll be watching to see how you do, and hoping you succeed.

I'm currently running 900W of COB LED over 24 sq ft and it's borderline excessive, so that's just my own personal experience talking.

its only excessive if your plants are not healthy lol.please stop spreading misinformation around the site and take better care of your borderline sick plants haha.
@Closet-Gardenholic you've a fine setup and being dimmable theres really nothing to worry about :eyesmoke:

Quantum Board / COB Hybrid light up and running .... RA is alive !

I was able to install a couple of hours before lights out in tent , running temps after 3 hours were 70° with COB's and Quantum together. Dialed dimmer to about 60% to test.

I will test later with a kill a watt , but am watching plants response after a few days.
