So question. Does QBs put off UV? Was thinking of getting some glasses but not sure if its worth it being that I have corrective lenses and id be blind with just grow glasses.
I never thought I needed them until,today I forgot I left a pump running and went in there after having just woke up and I,damn near went blind despite shielding my eyes with my hand and looking away.
Makes me feel,foolish when I saw pictures,of these lights on this thread and thought they were,dim. Lol.

Yeah its not hard at all really, I called them up when I ran into something that didn't make sense to me and they walked me through it, A plus on customer service IMO.

Hey fellas, what sort of square footage is the Elite going to be suitable for? Trying to plan ahead for grow room expansion in December. Lol

No UV from LED lights.

Definitely switch ASAP, just hang the QB higher than the Mars and bring it down an inch a day until you're happy. The idea is to harden the plant off to the new spectrum and intensity without scorching it.
Yeah pictures really don't do it justice if these things photographed well they would sell out even faster

Glad they dont. Sell out fast enough as it is.
Thanks @ttystikk for the reply and turning me on to these.
Got 4000k coming soon from 2 weeks ago release.

Will 2 QB304s be enough for a clone/mother area? 4X4 tent

I think it would be plenty. Just position the lights over the mothers, clones dont need anything other than residual light.

Yes. It will be great.

5x5 coverage should do really well.

And I'm building a second one very soon. There's a dude over on GC who runs 8xQB120s in his flowering light. And if you go back through the pages of this thread, you'll find others planning similar builds. Welcome aboard!
Awesome build dude.
You think I could fit 2 of your builds for 480w in a 4x4 tent?
i think so.. your fixture is 21x26
2 of these side by side would be 42x26
My tent is 48x48
hmmmmmmmmm i think I'm gonna do it lol

Do it!! You can absolutely fit them. But think more like 500 watts at max - don't worry, I have proof the boards can take it without breaking a sweat!
Edit: you may want to spread your boards out a little more than I did, since you have a wider canopy to cover. Eight boards should still rock it. There's another guy on GC who's planning a build like mine for his 3x3, and I have no doubt it's going to kick much ass too.
