QB96 Elite V2 w/ SSTX heatsink question

@Or_Gro here is where I am at now.

Mounted the two extruded heat sinks and solderless far red LEDs and UVA LEDs. Everything is wired up and has been tested.

All that remains is to hang it and apply some wire management. I had some left over aluminum angle and some sheet aluminum lying around, so I made a rack for the drivers and DC meters.

Beautiful! Nice work!
I’d love to know more about the components you used for the far red, uva, and their driver. Is that already posted somewhere?

I got everything except the heat sinks from RapidLED. The heat sinks came from Heatsink USA and are good quality. They are 1.8” extrusions.

I got the driver there also. Hope this helps.

I will!!! BTW, I want to say thank you for all of your help and encouragement. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and you took the time to respond to my questions and I really appreciate it.

Very well done, it is going to put out 960 Watts? Thanks in advance.
 
Sir420 here live & in full effect ✊.. I have been doing deep digging just like the rest of the LED community & have came to the conclusion based off of the data I collected, that Vertical SoG with the latest LED gear is the most efficient (more grams > less wattage)
Growing method for perpetualgrowers looking to maximize efficiency & time instead of quality & quantity! Most clearance for indoor growing is 8-10 ft which can allow 3-5 rows of canopy vertically and the key to me saying using the "latest LED" is because you can dim them to lower wattage while maintaining same ppfd evenly acrosscanopy.. while thinking of my perfect DiY vertical SoG rack system my focus was efficiency over budget over quality over quantity .. because efficiency is those things all in one sort of.. if anyone can correct me LM301b is still the most efficient led strip on the market today in stock lol & how come I don't see any vertical rack journals if it's suppose to be the most efficient way???
Would loveee feedback & constructive criticism I am looking to build a 5x10 system and my ceiling height is 9 feet, how many LED strips would I need to buy along with matching drivers?? Remember pls REMEMBER I want to keep them less than 10 inchs from canopy to minimize wattage &maximize ppfd efficiency so I understand it will be a little more costly... I think I could do 3 stacks high 5x10x9.. 2-3 plants per sqft (separate mother tent to get clones from) anywhere from 6 to 10" away from canopy.. I can't estimate the wattage but I do know whatever I use I can expect a gpw of at least 1.5 due to distance from canopy and "latest LED" tech along with perfect environment & feeding conditions.. how many watts would I need if I am certain to pull on a bad day 1.5 gpw & I'm trying to achieve at least 4-5lb/month?? Plz tag any knowledgeable ppl who would be happy to chat and discuss HOW MUCH WATTAGEDOES MY SPACE NEED TO PULL 4-5LB IN A 3 RACK (MAYBE 4) VERTICAL SOG RACK SYSTEM COCO 5x10x9 ???
