I bet if you stripped the larfy bottoms off of that lady you'd see more energy dedicated to the tops! Pretty plant. I'd love to see a closeup of the colas

@Stephenj37826, (or anyone that knows) I recieved my replacement pads for my 96's. Thank you. Can I get some advice or a suggestion on how to remove the old pad & 96 from the heatsink? It is stuck pretty solid.

i had 8 qb132's and 2 lrs-350-36 drivers up until 2 days ago... Long story.. But i suggest running them at full blast of 75 watts each especially in flower. At beginning of yr i bought 4 qb132's ( 4@ 2700k v1's & 4@ 3000k V2's) v1's was 99 & V2's was 109 bucks. Plus 2 my 2 lrs-350-36 drivers was 80 total. My one driver had cosmetic damage on case cause usps dented it shipn it to me. It workd fine but i emailed the company to tell them my driver had dent on case. They apologized and asked if i want a new one and ship mine back or they suggested i keep both drivers and theyd refund my total for drivers.. I kept the dented driver and took my 80 bucks back. That place treated me like gold. Trc electronics here in usa is where il shop in future. So i paid 225 bucks for 600watts of quantums. Even if paid for drivers basically 300 hundred bucks for that set up is hard to beat for a 4x4. My buds was rock hard using them. Just wished id of gotten to sample the buds they produced. Theyre gone with lights. But next lights will for sure b led quantums. Thx

Yeah well this is a record for me! But they are nothing! Tony21 just took 160 grams from a plant in the same size pot!

I added a cheapo blurple in to take car of my lack of red/orange light. I kinda like it because it has a few ir diodes
This is my new light layout, havent got a reading off it yet but it obviously wont be any worse lol.
Hoping to get more or the same weight off 3 plants in 5 gals (instead of 4.5 plants).
Only plan on flicking it on come flower, but its about 150w draw w/ the fans
Woulda went with hlg qbs but the price just wasnt right for anything worth while and shipping it to canada.

Thank you...
Yes, very slight increase in density and quality, if you pinch it off early. However the larf is still good somtimes. After harvesting the top i leave the larf to chill for about a week, while i do all the big trim work, bagging and the rest... My top buds go for a very high price, so high i think they would ban me off this forum lol. The larf i sell at a discounted price to my friends, its decent to smoke because its had some time to really flush and sweeten up but we use it a lot for cooking.
You cant run different qb versions on the same driver. Even if theyre the same version they need to be the exact same lot, i believe they have dates stamped on the boards.

Looks like some Mephisto Forum Stomper... I didn't have the room that u do as i was onlynin a 2x2x3... My avatar pic is forum stomper as well...
This pheno doesnt have that super glossy icy trichome look like a lot of buds but people told me they like the high better. If i trim it and keep the light just right they buds do come out with a lot of trichs but its a hell of a lot of work. My veg is like nothing, i neglect them through the veg, i clone, transplant, top, and put it under 16/8 to get it to maturity and get it bushy. Then when it comes to the flower ive got 3 going at once every 20 days so i dont really have time to mess around with training. I use the whole line of GH dry nutes. Its all plug and play.

You can definitely run both types together with a CC driver.

I agree. V1's together and v2's together. Dont matter if added reds or not. I did own qb132's v1's & qb132's v2's. Wasnt to much of difference btween the two versions. Very happy with the buds they produced.. Just wished i didnt havta start all over again.. But i woodnt grow with anything but quantums. Thx

My tent gets too hot currently with july high temps of 90 here.
I am in the last week of flower and am taking the tent down for maintenance/moving. I will restart in August when hopefully the tempa will be heading the other way....not too fast haha. I have outdoor too that needs to go the distance. Like Halloween hopefully! Hey I can dream. Its been a rainy cold start in the NE maybe it will stay warm for a while so the girls can finish.

Ok i didnt realize ur in a tent and in last week. I was just suggesting to run at max for max penetration on buds. But ya if in tent i see why u worry bout temps.. This was first yr in 20yrs i didnt do any outdoors.. Just cause im in town. Trying to get medical card so i am aloud to vrow 5 plants for myself. And ya im in illinois its been rainy hear too so far this summer. Usually we can grow up to november b4 it gets to cold.. Usually march-october is our grow periods here in southern illinois. 6months to go b4 its legal recreational. Cant wait but we wil b out of product. But good luck
