Going to downsize area to a 4x4 and have 2 sets of 240w Qb288’s and 4 clu058-1825 citizens capable of almost 150w each. Thinking of 2 cobs in middle and boards on outside not using 2 cobs.might be overkill but can dim suggestions?

Ran soft, i expect that setup to smash a 4x4 space very well.

Yes overkill but the good kind lol

I should mention the boards are 3000k+epistar 660nm and cobs are 3500k. Maybe just use cobs for veg and boards to flower although could be a little weak to flower

Man if I also put a couple solacure flower power 2 footers in the ceiling would pretty much be full. Kinda funny actually over 1100 watts. Not sure if I can dim it enough

If you do set it up, you're on the right track. Boards on outside edges.

What is your reasoning for boards on outside instead of the cobs

Cobs do great for getting light even in the center, boards do too. But as for the edges, boards do way better a job
