I agree. Those little 96s are kicking some serious ass!

The 288s are kicking ass. Quite a bit less watts for the same results so far.

From a petformance perspective, they both are currently doing about the same.
From an efficiency standpoint the 288s are kickin ass.

What wattage are they each running at?

The 96 are less efficient, that is already known. I am not testing efficiency, I’m testing performance. Others interested in efficiency can run an appropriate test for that, and they could likely get the wattage much closer.
But, since i’m not interested in efficiency, i am placing them where i want for my convenience. Additionally, i have volt and amp dimmers on each 96, but only one amp dimmer for each set of four 288s. The increased flexibility of my 96s, allows for customizing the useage of each light, and the greater possibility of using them less efficiently as a set of lights.
Those who really value electrical efficiency, won’t get much out of this grow, cuz i’m not focused on that at all. Those who want to know how the white leds in each light compare on growing performance, should find this grow useful...

Day 12 from flip: Overall plants healthy, stretching, and adding pistils. Canopies under 288s looking like a single unit, 96s more like individual units, at least partly due to tunabity of the individual 96s.
Individually, trainwrecks are moving up fastest; original glues seem to be farthest ahead on pistil development; green cracks are continuing to show their sensitivity to almost eveything, now burning under uvs (i hate this clone/pheno), jack herers somewhere in between tws and ogs.
Will dilute green crack nutesoup and bump others, and remove lowest 2 pairs of fans on all mains/laterals, today.
6x96
8x288

Apple vs apple, orange vs orange! Which is the crispiest?! The sweetest?! The juiciest?!

96e w sink, plus 240h-54a driver/light, dc meter & wires, about $200 per light.
You’ll have to price out 288, sink, driver, etc...bought mine retail...
