Hi, I've been lurking here for a year or two, decided to start an account.
Been growing for a few years. Im looking for recommendations for my 4x4.
I'd prefer to buy an already built unit. I'm looking at AutoCobs... I already have two auto cobs that Im running with my 260w QB 648,
I plan on moving the QB into my 3x3 , so would be running 6 AC's in th 4x4. Or would I be better off with a HLG 550 V2 eco ( with/without the 2 AC's I already have) ?
I'm not totally against building my own, I'v read a bunch of build your own threads, they just get so confusing with all the options everyone throws out. Maybe if there was an "all in one shopping list" that didn't involve 20 different site to purchase from, I'd be game.
I'd like to keep the cost @ about $600.

thanks for the help, CC

thank you
My 4x4 is actuley 46"ID pole to pole, That fixture would not fit.
If I buy a fixture, I'd like to keep it to US companies.

Just gonna post my diy project. take a look at it if you’re gonna go with diy and i think diy is the only viable option with leds as plug and play is way overpriced compared to a diy fixture. I’m very happy with this and you can build something like this under 600 i think. I don’t know how much drivers cost these days. There are 18 cxb1830s driven at 700ma. 480w true draw.

550 v2 eco if you're lazy, QB 96 elite v2's if you want a better light. The $70 kit comes with a sstx heatsink. https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/qb96-elite-v2-quantum-board-engine

You'll need two cheap computer power cords for the drivers, and may want some wagos. You'll also want;
One of these meters per driver
These junction connectors
And some wire
