Do you guys/gals think two triple slate kits(6 288 boards) would do a 4x8 any justice?

Would it be worth to upgrade from cxb 3590's?
cxb 3590@1400 has 2.41 µmol/J
the QB288v2 2.47 µmol/J.

They seem equal to me but I might be missing something?

No I don’t think you’ll notice any difference. I have the old cxb3590s cb bin which a looong time ago was the top bin lmao . I have 12 of those at 600w and two of the hlg600h kits and they are pretty well the same except the cobs have a better spread then the 600s just due to the fact their spread out more. I wouldn’t be investing more money for that little of an increase. Not a smart investment imo. Get some co2 with the cash instead and run the shit outta them dirty girls.

The top one because you get more light on the plants, but that's just my opinion... As a matter of fact that is what im about to do... I already have one, I just need another one...

I guess my thought boiled down is

-Two 135w kits give you dimming and height options for different strains.

-a 260w xl kit is 15w less and has a much larger heatsink for more temp stability.

- and a 320w xl kit runs a more even spread with more longevity on the boards.

I know I want to do a 3-4 plant scrog.
my indecisiveness is killing me.

If you can afford it, I see no reason not to go for the 320w kit. You can always run it dimmed, but if you ever need the extra juice, it'll be there.
