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.

Yep, that's why I liked them. Don't have to worry about heat. 16 of them in my room raises the temp by 6° to 8° maximum.

Why do you want to get rid of your 132s and go with the 96s?

So two lights per plant is all you really need with the 96s?

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.

Seems what I’m needing isn’t coming across which I totally understand.

I have 4 qb132 in a 4x4. I’m going to flower in the next what 45 days?

I need more lights by then. Would mixing up different qb improve things greatly? What about sticking with same qb 132 3500k and buying 4 more? Would that be better for the plants?

I’m asking to my quantum boards lack anything particular that another quantum board has that I need. If so, I will buy that.

I know or gro said those fat reds are important. So I need to be looking for a QB featuring that, maybe?

Or do I need a different top heavy light, and buy the reds for purely their own thing?

Get what I’m getting at now? I need more lights. What’s the best investment to make to bounce the best off what I already have.

Different qb? Different spectrum? Same QBs?

You suck because you don’t try . How can you get better if you don’t attempt? It’s like growing .. much like a lot of other things . ..anyways . You got this . Grab the materials and try .

True man. Yeah sometimes I swear I just need a little kick in the ass. There’s no way I can buy lights and not get them running. If there’s a will there’s a way

So 4qb 132 ran @70 watt each is enough? 280 watts? Cuz those lights you said I looked up. They don’t add a whole lot of light power but I understand why they’re important. Both sold out unfortunately.

But as far as overhead light I’m good?

Remind me 4x4?

Two important characteristics of light:
Intensity & spectrum.

For flowering red is most important. 3 types of red: red, deep red, far red. White leds have mainly red and some deep red.

Qb 18/35 are deep red and far red. They are not as visible to human eyes as other colors, so you don’t see the intensity....put a spectrometer up to them and you will see the intensity spike.

I don’t have time to convince you, look up emerson effect... perhaps read the riu “far red thread”

Yo man. It’s not “convincing me”

I believe you.

I need 200 more watts of light. Atleast. Are you saying buy that much watts worth of 18/35?

I’m not at all doubting I need them. But I think those are suplumental lights and not main lights, or am I mistaken?

I don’t know if I come across as stupid or my thoughts sound better in my head than what I put into words?

Possibly. Maybe so.

I have 4qb 132 in a 4x4 at 3500k. That’s not enough light from what I can gather. I need reds yes. I need more primary light first ya?

HLG has new lights out with reds. I’m not against those if that will give me the reds you’re talking orbgo. I just don’t know what I’m needing to buy to improve my rig guys that’s all I’m asking
