Grow is progressing nicely. The Black Lebanon in the 5 gallon bucket has put on some size. The GDP is looking very nice also, which I didn't expect, lesson: Don't throw away mutant plants! The Scorpion is turned up to 512 watts. Feed is Megacrop, 525 ppms, PH 6.4. I flipped the light three days ago to 12/12. Should see flower soon!

Not sure if my hlg 135 kit counts but check this whole seed run I’m about done with.. I have many problems that I’ll hope to fix next run. I may be locked out. Temperature issues of highs and lows throughout the run, root bound. Improper pH’d water. But some cool colors I think Had 4 good looking ones going. One turned to be a monster male with a ton of sacs (not the clone in pic) and also 3 other distinctively looking types. All bag seed

Yes, the Scorpion Diablo and I still have my DIY copy of a 605R. I'll post some pics soon of that light and tent shot. I'm thinking of breaking down my other 605R copy into smaller lights for my other two tents, 2 for the 32"x32"x60" tent and one for my 2'x2'x4' tent. I might order a custom heatsink from heatsink USA to mount the 2 Diablos on. I want a square heatsink.

The Diablo is a great light to use at low power. My 650R copy runs at a max of 480 watts, and is dimmed to around 420. I'm running the Scorpion at 512 watts. That's 85 watts per board.

And it's a 666 LED board, counting the red LEDs also, thus Diablo......lol!

That's a LOT of light in 4 sq.ft.! Almost 40 watts per sq.ft.!

It was way too much. I keep it around 100 in veg, and 135 or so in flower now.
This 3x3 should be alittle more manageable considering im going to keep the plant count the same.
Dont need more pot, just more air and floor space.

Introducing NECKBEARD ( Black Cherry Soda x Tangie ) …. But …. She is apparently a sativa leaning pheno of cross ( so I gonna take a clone or two )

I call her neckbeard because of the odd LST I done her …. Hubbed center / lower crown. Middles are woody and set to rock and roll.
Pistils are starting to poke out. Lowers are flexible and being shaped as grow goes on. This one tho is throwing large more narrow leaf compared to 3 other sister plants. I took clones from those 2 days ago …. This one probably tomorrow gets some cuts or wait a little bit as it has secondary branches happening.

This is a good example why I love the QB96s …. Anyone lurking this thread wondering about hesitating on these ….. get them .
Best light engine to cover a 2x2 quadrant ( even better is QB225 - got one ) out there . A simple 3-4 QB96 bar style rig would be killer.

Anyways even in fringe areas I get killer growth. I’m kind of stuck like this ( ordered a tent for these overflow plants - qb225 for that one. ) …… but in mean time plants are blowing up , even in fringe they are starting to show pistils from that tents flip ….. I run plants in fringe footprint during lights on , move to dark room at lights out. Tent plants get zipped. That’s why just easier to pop up a “ side “ tent to give better lighting as they transition.

@Stephenj37826 as one of your first users from back 2015/2016 , tested protoboards / reviewed and long time customer…. I seriously say I am as happy with your products and service as I was from the beginning ….. 6 years on original boards ( other rig QB304s ) perpetually speak for themselves. Hoping for a QB96 with maybe UV / IR ? ….. or ALL 630/660nm bloom “puck “ ??

I've never owned a 96 but I have a ton of 288's and I think my work proves that this tech is absolutely legit.
