lurking and learning for years, posting now and again. here's my (mostly) quantum canopy! starting with cxb3590 in the back 2x6, moving to qb 304, 288, and then 120. running platinum cookies on perpetual with blumats, pictured here going into weeks 5 and 9. it's been quite a journey, 3 years ago this room ran 4 kw of HPS...View attachment 4233359 View attachment 4233360 View attachment 4233361

How does the growth differ from row to row? And do you notice any difference under the QBs with the reflectors?

the results are very close and kind of erratic, has me doing work on airflow. the best growth is always the back corner where my air intake is right under the canopy, with proper height adjustment any of my lights kill it there. seems like a ceiling of qb120 at 60 watts each is the brightest and most even, but i like the airflow i get from spreading out 288's. tbh the cree's are still really good too, the 3500 k more than 3k k. seems like it was hard to go wrong with 50 - 60 watts per square for the last few years. as for the reflectors: they worked better on the edges of canopy but not as good as white walls. will be taking them off next time i dust and adjust.

These are for micro grows, it's well documented on this thread from all the microgrowers that's what they are used for.

I stand by my original statement, these are not for medium to large scale ops , more for tiny closer growers that needs like 8 inches or closer because they have no grow space.

The tech is still laughable, over 1,000$ just to cover a 4x4, still no UV or IR in the spectrum...full spectrum my ass.[/QUOTE

Do you have apogee meter? How many light sources have you grown under? You comment of needs like 8 inches or closer micro grow, lol. Who's paying a grand for QB to cover 4x4?"I's well documented on this site for micro grows"? I get them for 30 bucks with heat sinks and since you know so much about them you can also have uva uvb and ir diodes added. Fuck that is so laughable is just stupid. I bet you think Cobs suck too...I can build a light that will slap the shit out of any H.I.D light and you won't need a 10 ton ac to cool it.. Hate to tell you bro nothing is full spectrum except the SUN. When you say medium to large scale what size are you thinking? Large scale to me 100000 sqf or larger. Please let me know the magic light you grow with, HPS, CMH ?? My issue with your comments is you say crap that is not true and you have nothing to back it up. All you have said in this thread they suck and a dude you know grew with them blah blah. You have no experience with shit but standard lighting. Science and botany isn't your strong point...

I bet you have a shitty hydro farm lux meter lol you still measuring lumens? Anyways I am not going to have a pissing contest with you. This website has turned to mostly shit because of people like you. So enjoy the ignore as many people have told me to do about your dumb ass. PEACE SHIT HEAD...
