I will post the info in my journal when I get it. If they land and are shit you will know. I don't want someone ordering something based on what I am saying and I have not even touched them yet. From what I have heard from others that will not be an issue.

I'm guessing 3 260 kits for a 3x3 and 4 for a 4x4 tent. Sound about right??

That would be a lot of light. These panels are super bright. I got an HLG 550 in a 4x4 and it don't need no more. I have my panels spread way out, check it out in my build.

I run a 600w hps in a 3x3 but have it keep at 300w-450w because of heat. I wonder how that compares to 300w of quantum boards or cobs?

What won't be an issue? U mean having to build them? So they are supposed to be put together already is what im guessing ur meaning or are u talking about sumthn else? And how much did they cost you?

300w of HPS and 2 x 288 Q boards would probably be very similar in yield I think the QB would give better quality. I have a 600w HPS with dimmable ballast that I started indoor growing with.

I probably wouldn't add that to the 3x3 tent that I use as a early flower tent because of space. But I also have a 4x4 flower tent that I only run a 600w hps in. I would probably get one 260 kit and run it in the 4x4 with the hps. Then the next time I can afford it grab another then replace the hps in the 3x3 altogether.

That's the way I went about it, bought 1 kit at a time as money was available and used my PS 1000 and my Mars Pro II.

What's your verdict on the Purple Envy at this point PW? Yours is looking fantastic.

No purple yet but it's a dream to grow, if the high is what I'm looking for then it's a keeper.

How's the heat on those qb boards compared to mainstream LEDs ? I was thinking of getting one for my 4x4 during the summer to reduce the heat .

Virtually no heat under the boards, most of the heat comes off the driver. It's possible to mount the driver outside your tent for summer use. .

The Mars Pro II 160 was giving me around 900 umols under the center with 600-700 umols around the edges in my 3x3. So really it performed well in its price range. .

What distance did you take these measurements, pw? That mirrors the growth I am seeing in the 2x4. The middle 3' is prime.

Thanks. I am at 18". The Berry Bomb seems a bit sensitive with brown tips on the new leaves. But overnight they finally went into flower.

Ian
 
True. I thought I was running lean though. Maybe I won't give them a boost. I know, I know, it is working well so leave it the hell alone.

Ian
 
I'm extremely opposite. I try to touch them as rarely as possible. Now I will have to though. They all have fallen over cause they can't carry their own weight. I really should have put up a net. Will see what I can do with some threads here and there
