Any news on the New Samsung strips?

Looking at a 4x8 with 2 650w fixture each with 16 of PLC's Photo Boost Strips powered by 4 meanwell HLG320's(2 per fixture). The PLC Strips rock samsung 301b whites and cree xp-e HE photo reds. The left side fixtures boards are modified to be all white with xpg3's so that a semi comparison can be ran to show some of the differences of added red vs a pure white SPD.
The run consists of 18 clones(9 per side) vegged 21 days before flip.
Who stocks the PLC stuff? I've seen you talk about them before on youtube.

I'm done waiting for the PLC Photo-boost strips. I guess my money will go to DIGI and some H-influxes.

Pretty sure i heard he has stock on the 15th on todays livestream
Yeah, but I signed up in Dec. for the alerts and was supposed to be mid Jan. for stock.
I don't hold anything against him for the delays, just to many other products out now to test in the rapidly growing field of LED's.
 
20190305_223143.jpg 20190224_192007.jpg 20190224_192007.jpg Reds are where its at fellas. I was running 4x288s off a hlg600 and slapped a 96elite on a hlg185 and threw it in there. Holy shit. The 96 is more or less centered (knew i should have ordered more while they were in stock). I run 4 plants in a 4x4, 30 gal no til homes for each. The buds in the center are all loving the red. Trich production fades off the farther from the 96 things get. Had some light bleaching early and turned things down, so it isn't from lack of light! Also, even with the light saturation (front left plant i tried to kill early, some serious abuse being impatient and ripping a seed helmet off, this plant took the light the worst, yet is an extra 6-12 inches away from the lights. Funny, bleached areas are still pumping out trichs!).

Anyway, heres a few pics from the grow, at middle of week 8 now, should be coming down in the next weeka20190121_160107.jpg 20190121_160107.jpg View attachment 4297662
 
@Woolster22 you know which LEDs those boards run?
The 288s are the lm301b if memory serves. Theyre the v2s. Interesting note on the v2s, if you buy a type a driver, you can get away with a hlg 48v type a driver (check out the tables, they max around 49v iirc, so the +/-5% of max covers the draw necessary! It fails to cover the pad hlg recommends, but im through 2 grows with no issues running them this way). Another note, the 600 watts of 288s seemed a tad under powered for the 4x4 on their solo run. The extra oomph from the qb96 elite has certainly fixed the issue.
 
Sorry, I meant on the 96's
I should've said but I've had a smoke
Not sure, think i read its some newer tech sammy was working on. I believe i saw pics showing multiple diodes per unit? So each chip really had a few diodes pumping out light (im sure im butchering the explanation). There was definitely a magnifying glass used to show the differences, essentially 96 "mini cobs" (again, maybe not the right use of words) on a board instead of 288 single diodes like on the 288s or something of the like. The elites also have the red chips for the spectrum help. What i can say, is that my girls all seem to love it.
