4x4 lighting

I agree with this. The HLG Eco is all white LEDs with no added red, but the 96's have white, plus 630nm and 660nm reds.

I was reading somewhere that the QB96 doesn’t have a great spectrum for veg? I may be wrong as I am a newbie. But if that is true, can you add more blue like the QB11 or???? To make it a good veg/flower light setup?

It does have a lot of red for vegging, but since they use 3500k white LEDs, it has a good amount of blue to balance it out. Personally I veg under 4k white LEDs and then flower under the QB96's.

If I understand correctly the sweet spot is 30w per 1sqft. So that's 480 the qb132 are 75w x4 =300w. That's still running a little short on wattage. And as said the color isn't the best for flowering. I'm thinking maybe go with the clu048s yeah it's old technology but it'll get the job done with more points of light. Guessing my main issue would be heatsinks costing more than the led. Found some at 9$ forbthe 48s but sinks like 39+ each
