Was thinking of getting 2 96s and replace the 4 132s. Then I don’t know if they’d make much diff and would be pissing money into the wind

You can get More wattage out of the 96’s and the spectrums better but it’ll be small differences in the end product.

Not worth it . I’d end up using the 240h driver that the 132s are on . So wouldn’t be maxed out .

Agreed they have produced some of the largest fattest densest colas I’ve ever grown.
I’ve got a lb of weed on ONE plant that only utilized ONE QB96 engine (the other was over Sams crack the entire time)
I mean it really truly performed for me big time...
The 288 i hear are literally just as good... like minuscule differences.
288 does have more even coverage though
The 96 gets better results I think. But both are so good u can’t lose @Moabfighter
I personally know the 96’s would really blow your mind. Their like tiny compact HPS lights. Incredibly bright from the center. That’s why the 288’s have more even coverage. But the 96 accels in every other department except efficiency and even coverage.
It’s king of every other aspect I think. Could just be high tho
This debate is exactly why or gro is doing his smack down
I think both lights absolutely kill the game without trying tho

They were nearly the same yield with the 96s edging out the 288s but, the 96s had much bigger colas and less of them so the 288s took longer to trim.Agreed they have produced some of the largest fattest densest colas I’ve ever grown.

So two lights per plant is all you really need with the 96s?Agreed they have produced some of the largest fattest densest colas I’ve ever grown.

I LOVE my 132s. I'd like to buy more but it doesn't look like they'll be in stock again and have been replaced with the 144s, which I'm looking at. Was thinking of going with 2 3000k and 2 4000k per light fixture. I can use the same driver as I use with the 132s. I'm perfectly happy with what the 132s are producing.

The 96s are so frickin small and way more expensive and they require the heatsinks.

Looked again... not sure why I thought they didn't require the heatsinks...

I love my 132s . I only have v1 but they can produce in the right environment and users care . Never heard of 144s . What driver are you using ?

This one. Tbone Shuffle in GC turned me onto them. Up to 350 watts so my 4 132s is perfect for them.

Some QBs don’t
The 132s don’t. Like a cm of board and the wire that’s it. frame is thicker than the light
Very simple kind of a reason I want to get more.
