QB96 Elite V2 w/ SSTX heatsink question

[Airwalker16]

Thanks, although more electricity, I like the 96s better...

They're a cool board, but I really think in LEDs, spread is moat important. The single source light point is still playing in with the 96s. Like cobs.

What UV bulbs did you use again and what was the schedule for them? Looks like you got it pretty dialed in.

2x4ft t-5 Arcadia 14% uvb 30% uva per 4x4, on side walls at 22” above tops, at 45 degree angle, gives about 80 uw/sqcm over tops....



Ramped up, starting 12:12, first 15 mins every hour 8-11 and 12-3, bumped 15mins every hour each week, til 6 full hours/day, held thru harvest.

Jack Herer wet weights; 96 left (harvested 2 days ago), 288 right (harvested yesterday):



You seeing the pattern with these lights?

Thanks man!

Trainwreck, gonna dry these then machine trim w liquid co2:



Plastic is 45”x32”

Ok, summarizing wet weights...

Total wet weight for each tent, trimmed bud plus trim: the supplemented 288s produced 9% more than 96s in total, also higher by strain.


I decided to do a dry, mechanical trim on the Trainwreck, so i was not able to break trainwreck down into subcategories.

The following conclusions are based on the other 3 strains.

Although the supplemented 288s produced 13% more total wet wt, they only produced 4% more trimmed bud wet wt than the 96s (slightly more than 1/2 wet oz per wet lb).

For each of the three strains, and all 3 combined, the 288s produced a higher percentage of trim.

For those who want to see the nums, here they are.



I’ll show dry bud weights when all the plants are dry.

interesting results, empirical data supports the anecdotal, that light spread over a canopy produces
Cheers

Green Crack, Original Glue, and Jack Herer all dried and in the freezer, waiting to be bubbled...

Quick summary, details to follow, when Trainwrecks are dry, 3 of 4 plants in each tent:

6x96: 882g dry, 26% of wet wt

Supplemented 8x288: 917g dry (~2%more), 26% of wet wt.

Dry Weights: 96 Elite vs Supplemented 288

I’m cloning right now for another smackdown that i’ve decided will slso include a 96 elite tent.

@Stephenj37826 or @robincnn , I have my replacement pads,lol and finally got the 96s removed from them.
Dumb question.
Which part contacts the 96 back? White or Grey?

Bigger buds. I saw the same. Crazy big yield too. Nice job!
The 288's win in weight tho?

I called and asked and was told it didn't matter!

Thank you.

I didn't think to call them being it is a Holiday. Much appreciated.

The pad for the 2nd one I got was different from the first but with no instructions I went with what they told me on the phone. No issues so far.

Yea, I just ran with it after you said you called them.
