Growing on a dime
I didnt watch video but it looks like 6 qb288's. But right now hlg has the qb288 v1's for 29 a board. They are a very good option but require heatsinks. 6 of them on 2 - hlg-320-2800 or 2 hlg-320-2100 drivers?
Im not positive on which driver wood work best for u cause ive only personally dealt with qb132s. Maybe @ big perm or i no @Opie1 uses them they can give u better reccomendations..?

Personally myself i like the 4000k better than 3000k for flower. The added blues to flower helps prevent so much stretch early flower and imo it adds extra glitter to plants. Much like using old skool metal halide in flower. I had a mix of 2700 & 3000k equaling 600 watts and like 200 watts of 4000k. The plants closest to 4000k leds was shorter and had a little more glitter than the 2700-3000k tone lights. Decisions, decisions.. Lol

It's relative intensity. The two charts are not the same chart.
One nm maxes out the chart, the other nm's show how intense they are relative to the highest nm on the chart.
Where do I find these good deals at?

I looked and all the v1 boards are gone. They dont even have em,in the board guide. If ya look at kevs video the guy is running on 36 v CV drivers. I thought the qb288 are 54 v but maybe I'm,mistaken or the v1's are 48v

Only 15 left. The 4k will work thru flower. Nit optimal but get a set and wait for the 3k to come around.

Actually China has massive shipping delays has a lot to do with it. Corona Virus. They also had their Chinese New year and that extended 2 to 4 weeks to shut down the spread of the disease.
Harry the light guy and Mandy the light girl (2 Chinese light vendors i bought from) are starting to ramp up the emails again so i think its going to start shipping out soon.
I think that is not their real names...

Yeah. What Perm said! Lol.
I’ve used the V2’s for a bit and I really like them, just got some V1’s and you can’t tell any difference in them in a side-by-side (I can’t anyhow). I’m gonna get more when they’re available.

Totally. The only difference is the diode. The V1 was so pre 2020's, those diodes are just fine. It's just that a better diode came out, so now anyone running the old diodes is a loser that can't grow. According to most haters. CFL's used to grow just fine, remember those days? Nothing wrong at all with the V1 is what I'm saying except some lumens per watt. Edit: Compensate the difference in the V1 and the V2 by lowering the V1 1".
Kev. Do what everyone else does and wait for them to come back in stock. You can even get emailed when they are available again. You can get the other stuff ready until then.
