"High Lights" - high powered, CRI95 flowering boards made in Australia

That could actually be, lol! .. it is even likely!
In russia there are huge fields of socalled wild ruderalis which are guarded by the military because otherwise all others would serve themselves. They mow it all down when its done using combined harvesters and my friend told me what sticks to the harvester blades gets sold later and is not far behind from afghan hash. He is from tajikistan (a late repatriate with german descent) where one of the largest fields is located and russian teachers say that these fields are at least hundreds of years old. So maybe Attilah the hunne has smoked it already..

Cloning Amnesia OG (where’s my bike), hoping to transplant to DWC buckets in about a week...will run under 96elites from rooting to 5-6 nodes, then split to HL/288/96 tents for training/veg, then resplit (2 vegged under that tent’s lights plus 1 of each vegged under other lights) for flowering...

Should give some good comparisons...

No top for your cloner?
How can you keep 99% humidity aren't the walls dripping lol ?
I wanna build one myself.
 
Who said LEDs can't grow buds? High Lights on the left, QB324 V1s on the right.

It looks like the QBs might have the edge :o

The High Lights do spread more light than the Quantum Boards - which concentrate a little more light in the middle - so looking at the bud structure between each plant, it seems the QBs benefited from the HL's overlapping light more than the other way around. Or perhaps it's because the HLs are running at 345W and the QBs are running 405W to the boards.

Blah, blah, we'll find out after harvest :bigjoint:

So you find any morpholocigal differences?

From the pics the HL looks brighter and more distributed. Congrats, theyre looking well nice.

Not sure at this stage, guys. This is a remote grow and I need to visit - the pic was sent to me by the grower. But the High Light plant appears to have slightly tighter bud structure, and I know from my own grows the smell is really coming out and trichomes appear to be developing a little earlier. It's subjective, of course, as there's no way to measure it unless you actually test the bud.

When I measured the light output of both lights, the QB324 was denser and over a smaller footprint - as you'd expect. There's a bit of difference in size between the panels.

We also didn't tilt the grow in our favour - the HLs were actually at a disadvantage. The QB had the better looking plant going in to the test, and we had it in the corner, where it got the benefit of another reflective wall. There are other lights in the room. Plus we only had a 320 CV driver for the High Light, while we had a 480 CC driver for the QBs. So we left the QBs at their normal wattage (400+) and cranked the 320 driver up as far as it would go - 345W to the boards. This was also a trial to see if the 320 drivers were powerful enough. They do the job, but we ended up buying 6x 480 drivers which will be going in, so the next grow the High Lights will be cranked up to 4A each or so, or around 400W per pair. They definitely run a lot cooler than the QBs.

Haha! He'd love to hear that. I don't mind hearing it myself, as I taught him, LOL! I designed the room, set up the coco run-to-waste system and nutrient schedule, and gave him the Mental Floss clones. I've got a bunch of High Lights and Mean Well drivers to go in there hopefully next week. To be fair, he does put a lot of effort into his grows. I wish I had the space to do the same.

Next time you’re there, please count the tops for me, thx
 
I think the reason he sent me a photo is because he wanted to harvest them. I've been flat out this week with other work and haven't had time to check in. I'll let you know if he hasn't cut them down.
