Could I use them on my Meanwell Lrs350 running 4 qb 132 or will I need to buy another driver.
Not against it. Just need to know what driver to buy.
Would like to get two QB96 for the middle of my top lighting.

well do me a favor and i'll try to calculate
total output of your current LRS350
total output requirement of 2 of those sunboards
total output requirement of your current 4 QB132's
That may answer our question lol

so what does your upkeep look like? when do you actually have to lift her out of the bucket and change stuff up?
automation is the only way to keep my sanity - i've already got everything but the inline cooler. ph control is cake with that bluelabs controller.

They are rated at 24V and 1400-1800mA per strip and can handle a little more, but are much more efficient in the 1050-1400mA range. -ebay post

Is your LRS350 the LRS-350-36? If so, yes you can run 4 of the 132 boards at 300 watts with it. That's the setup I'm using right now.

do you understand the milliamp part of all this? I see those new boards he wants are rated 24v - which translated to milliamps is 24000 milliamps... but the controller can only control 4? if they're 1500ma each, that's only 6000ma, and the controller supposedly can handle 24000? so fucking confused..

I’m DYING to upgrade!!!
It’s SUCH a pain in the ass!!! My white Widow XXL can drink 5 gallons of water in 48hours..
I’ve been lazy before and she got SO dry around 72 hours that she started to pop AIR ROOTS (super fuzzy looking ones) in her res... she was pissed as fuck at me
AND to make matters even worse... when she drinks up all the water... it CONCENTRATES the remaining nutrients which WILL burn your plant
You HAVE to get in the bucket daily in these 3-6 gallon buckets... when the plants are in flower anyways... they get HUUUUUUGE and drink WAY WAY WAAAAAAY fucking more than they EVER would in soil... which is how you know the method is superior in terms of performance
It SUPER FEEDS your plants. And I want that

I can only tell you what Tbone Shuffle on GC told me to buy for running 4 QB132 boards at 300 watts while connected to the driver in parallel... Sorry man, I'm just as lost about that stuff myself.

I think automation is key as well if you’re running more than 2 to 3 plants…
You definitely definitely at least want to have those blue tubes that stick out of the sides of your buckets from the bottom to show you how much water is in the bucket it’s like a water level gauge those are super important I’m getting ready to install some on all of my buckets
As I’m leaving town for six days and I’m going to have someone checking on stuff for me and I don’t want her to have to lift anything out of the bucket some snap my plants to pieces because they are so fucking heavy it’s I can barely even lift them so I can’t imagine that she would have an easy time with this
I think I’m just going to have her every 48 hours drop a gallon of low ppm nute water i’ll have pre-mixed and pre-Ph’ed and all that.
I JUST need them to survive until I get home! 6 days.... it can be done right?
I have
1x 6gallon
3x 5gallon
2x 3gallon
DWC buckets in my 4x4

Yeah run lower nute counts for now as they stack, keeps the girls moving while you're away.
I love the size of these DWC plants, but I could walk away from my setup for 2 weeks today and be fine. Both my humidifier and my reservoir are 40 gallon trash cans lol.

Main diff on v1 vs v2 is efficiency...still great efficacy...thing i always worry bout is are you getting good bin and the real thing...

Two smackdown tents: normal daily maintenance (topping, pH adj, spin buckets) 1 hr.
They never come out of buckets, pump out, funnel or pump in...

Sounds like a hell of a set up you have there !
