That's awesome that you have both versions to compare! Appreciate the feedback/assessment. Saved me from unnecessarily spending coin chasing the latest/greatest. Thanks bud!

How did this work out for you? Seems oven bags would trap too much moisture. Better off with brown/craft paper bags or cardboard boxes.

Likewise. I have 6 QB288v1 boards on 2 Slate 3 heatsinks in a 4x4. Looking at the new/current LED offerings- with the newer Samsung diodes and red/deep-red spectrum supplementation - I wondered how much I was leaving on the table with regard to quality/yield. MyQB288v1 are still growing nice...

Care to share a link to the repo? I'd like to check out the VPD control algorithm logic.

Nice project. For those interested in automation like this, without extensive coding/software development knowledge required, you should look into Node RED (https://nodered.org/). Node RED running on a Raspberry Pi, combined with a capable temp/hum sensor and a few smart plugs, can achieve...

@Enigma - Nice recipe and write-up. Much appreciated. This link provides an informative comparsion of acids for those interested: https://ag.umass.edu/greenhouse-floriculture/fact-sheets/adjusting-alkalinity-with-acids

If I were to purchase a Slate 3 Triple with 3 304 QBs, what would be the recommended driver for that setup? I've seen the HLG-320-54 mentioned in this monster thread. Also, the HLG-240-54 is mentioned. So it seems like the choice would be underpowered (240) or overpowered (320) but dimmed to...

Nice. I like your setup. Sure seems like it would provide plenty of light and good coverage. The HLG I ordered is supposed to arrive today. I'm excited to see what it can do. In the near future, I may mimic the exact setup you have, with the HLG in the center and COBs on the sides. What...

Sweet. Looks great!

Custom-built subs? That sounds awesome! (forgive the pun). I'll have to check out "Bass I Love You". Back in the day, tracks by 95 South and DJ Magic Mike were my go-to for bass testing. Interesting about the far red and putting the plant to sleep. I've never heard of that before. Did you...

Haha. :lol: So true. Thanks CobKits! Awesome! Good to hear that the far red levels are sufficient. You certainly are a fountain of knowledge, and again, I really appreciate your insight! :clap: A few questions if I may... When you say that not much is needed, I understand the ramping...

"Donkey Dicks" :lol: Love it! I use that term too, have the same goal! But, wow. Your build is impressive. I also like the idea of the far red pucks, curious to know how much added benefit they provide. I saw Timber had kits with OSRAM Oslon SSL80 Hyper Reds (100W = $349, 200W = $599)...

I just purchased an HLG 550 for $900. May have been able to build it for slightly less, but ain't nobody got time for that! :cool: Time to focus on growing again. :leaf: I'll report back and update how it goes for others that may have the same questions I did. A sincere "thank you" to those...

This is helpful information. Thanks again! So, if I were to purchase the already assembled HLG 550 that uses has 4 QBs it would be equivalent to 12 veros? Provided I am interpreting all this correctly, the HLG 550 (cost = $1049) would likely be way more affordable than the DIY route of 12...

Hi CobKits. Thanks for your comment. I have been considering these Veros: Bridgelux Vero29 V7 Type B .
