Hey, ive got 4 Elite QB96 v2 and a n hlg 320-54.
Im a little confused on how to wire these ?
There is only one positive and negative per board.
So do i run a splitter from the Driver and Split the positive into 4 lines and the Negative into four lines and power them like that ?

Anyone have a pic on these wired ?

Anyone have an idea when the V2's will be back in stock? It never seems like the Slates and the boards are both in stock at the same time.

I think the new boards are similar in voltage to the v1. Maybe you could just get 4 v2s, and arrange all on the inside or outside edges of your two slate 6s, so you'd have 2 of each on each driver. I'm not sure what the word is on mixing v1/v2 on the same driver?

Shouldnt be a problem with CC drivers, maybe a bit problematic with CV drviers.

Unless your running CO2, you probably have more light than your plants can use now.

I run 4 x QB 288 V1 on a HLG Slate 6 quad driven by a 480h-c2100B in my 5 x 5 tent. I get good results but still don't think that it is enough light. Does anyone have recommendations to boost my LED watts up to around 800-900?

For those that are not familiar with the Slate 6 it is one long heatsink with 4 boards side by side. I could easily fit a second one in there but I think that I would like something with the newer diodes.

That light gives you about as much light as a 1000 watt HPS. If you want it in old standards, your light puts out about 80,000 lumens. Your PPF is about 900+ anyone running more than a PPF of 750 should run CO2, it can make a big difference, up to 30% more growth. If you add more light, you'll definitely want to run CO2!

You think that 480W (max) in a 5 x 5 is too much light?

Will a QB 288 V2 320w kit really veg a 5x5 area? I am trying figure out what would give me the best veg coverage in a 4x4.
