Since my sinks are 133mm, and not splayed, I may end up going with 150H-54A size drivers to avoid the dedicated active cooling situation. I'm fairly confident that will suffice with ambient airflow.

Quantum girls ..... ( QB96s ) Agromax finisher and Agromax Bloom bulb ( 3000k )
The Deputy - Bruce Banner #3 x Stardawg ( greenpoint seeds / delta 9 labs )
GsG - Girl Scout Glue ( Girl Scout cookies x GG4 )
Finished the KKP ( chop ) and a Sour Stomper x Purp Gorilla ( from a member here
) and going into day 4 of dry ...
Cali RH is a bit dry lately so I have to keep my peepers on them . I turned a hall closet into a pseudo “ drying chamber “
because I had nowhere else at moment to use. Buds have been broken apart to eliminate any trapped moisture “ in between “ .
Ive been seriously thinking of putting a 3x3 tent up just for drying . Nothing fancy , just a space that can have some minor air extraction and darkness . Also , I could pull ready to harvest plants and shove into that dark tent , so I could let plants either
dry “ in pot “ and chop “ whenever “ since I don’t have to worry about it synthesizing any light. Like after work.
Just thinking out loud ....
All of the plants have been on that Layered FFOF / EB STONE mix with myco / MYCOCHUM and top dress.
Same ol tap water ( with a slightly higher ph as of late ) 6.7 ... to help keep the calmag issue with LED lights a bit more under control.
I learned quickly that the Quantums make plants crave more calmag ... FFOF is 6.3 out of bag. This mix keeps everything pretty green without much effort. I do tho bump the myco activity once a week ( great white ) , for flower I still just add only kelp to water and top dress. No more bottles for me ! But unfortunately I have 3 bags of megacrop that isn’t really being used since I layer soils.
The Deputy
One of the frostiness bitches I have ran across ... according to strain description it’s supposed to be a bit gassy / “ dieselish “ ,
but it smells literally like sugary candy . Who knows ? Trim from here will definitely be used for something. Word has it that this strain is discontinued- which is a shame in my opinion so I will have to pop another for seed making like I did for the KKP . I did minor LST and some selective pruning on her . No UV used on this one.
GSG
This one was “ supposed “ to be reg but flowered like an auto ... she’s stacking up so I’m going to continue 18/6 until end or if I need to FLIP her at some point. LST her a bit and that’s pretty much it. Stretch has slowed so it’s moving on to stacking. No real definitive smell
characteristic ( other than weed smell ) but I am thinking this girl will go an easy 11 weeks or so because of its Sativa lean. That’s why I think it won’t speed thru like a typical auto. No hurry on this one. I will have to “ feed “ it later in the flower I’m guessing once medium begins tap out maybe then I will do Megacrop. I will see how long I can top dress.
CASH ” THE PIT “
My poor CASH , guarding crops is hard fucking work I guess ...... lol

Because they're the end of photo genetics and the beginning of government holding all the genetics.

New project in the works. Going to ditch my 2x2 veg tent and build a 2x4 cabinet so I have room for some moms as well as my clone farm. Probably build a 2nd one for some veggies.
Looks like the HLG V1 4000K boards are sold out (I told you guys to leave me some!)... What do you think about V1 5000K boards for strictly veg? 4 of those is still cheaper than a 4 pack of QB132 v2 boards. I would run all 4 @ 30W each on the HLG120H-54A driver that came with my original v2 288 DIY kit.
Last question, I just found these 2 HLG-240H-24A drivers for $40 for both on CL. It looks like I could run 4 QB120's on them in parallel? They do look a little banged up and wouldn't have a warranty... On the fence. What do you think?

If plants don't produce seeds, because it's been genetically modified not to by some company/corporation/etc., and then you "have to" go to them for more seeds, it's fucking obvious why. (For example). You're not stupid.
And I'm not referring to autos vs photos, but that's interesting. That makes sense.

I never buy veg-only boards, but that's just because I have an OCD thing about thinking I just MIGHT need to flower with them someday... But yeah, go for the 288s, man. They're a steal.
Personally, I wouldn't take the chance on the drivers.

Curious why you believe we can't have autos and keep photos?

Cool I probably will go with the 5000K 288s just wanted to hear if anyone else was using them for veg.
I have a hard time passing up good CL deals, but I guess saving $80 isn't worth potentially burning the house down.
