My 8hr flowering experiment

Changed my game
Works hand in hand with my seemingly never ending chase for total efficiency.
I'm excited about seeing the final results with my own two eyes as usual.
Just fired off a message to the folks at northern to let me know when they have one of those 2x QB board kits available. I can use another 100-200w on the end of my COBs when I have the room full and since I have some Panama sativas coming up in veg, I can use them :) Saw captainmmorgan's results in the DIY thread and he killed it as usual,, first run and nice haul.

I'm excited to see your results as well ..
If I manage to due them justice.
No ones looking forward to some qb dank as much as mebongsmilie

It was his progress and ttysticks recommendation that convinced me.
I like taking chances and this is one I'm glad I did.
I'm sure you will be impressed with yours aswell.
I'm going to order 2 more boards but I think I prefer the single heatsinks. I have mine mounted 9" apart and the gap is as bright or brighter then the rest.

To me the best part is the heat management. After being on all day I can rest my hands on the heatsinks.

Yeah I'll be fine with 2x boards on one sink, it's about the right size to cover the width of my remaining footprint and if not in use in there I can move it into a tent.

The heat management with these should be even better than COBs. Main advantage imo is being able to fill a room, cover it well with much less wattage, and not have to worry about managing the heat as it never becomes a problem.

Not to mention the headroom.
The thickest part is the driver 2" lol
And u can keep it super close to the canopy.

Thanks bud

Time to turn up the food n calmag
Was doing some heavy reading about LEDs and then the quantum threads. These things are going to be tough to find in stock again anytime soon.
I really wish I understood the details of it all better.

If Steve says they're solving their supply chain issues, I'd believe him.

I think that much of my own problems with nutes under LED can be attributed to underfeeding.

I have no reason to doubt it sir
But if half the people asking are any indication then it's safe to say the 100 about to be available will be gone in a few hours.

I know I can't wait to get my mitts on another pair.
