Thanks dude!! Yeah this slacker on the forum @dbrn32 is the man for lighting, lol!! My wife smokes too, so it wasn’t hard to convince her I needed better lighting and another tent haha. We both hate paying for weed, so now I have a perpetual system set up!

I appreciate that, but they’re only a small aspect of what you have going there. You have that tent dialed and I can’t take any credit for that.

@dbrn32 has probably cost members more money on this board then anyone else in the history of it!
And its a good thing! He has increased everyone’s yields that have listened to him. That’s why members trust his recommendations on lighting.
Thanks again Bro for making us all broke. Totally stoned! But broke!

I have no problem at all spending your money haha! But I seriously try to make sure you get the most out of it. Personally, I think there some options as good or better than the boards. But they’re quite a bit more difficult to put together, and definitely not any cheaper.

that light is absolutely paying off @MattyBear!!
i believe a lot of us need to go ahead and drink the kool-aid,so to speak…lol and invest in lighting instead of dancing around with those 50$ el-cheapo lights… i know 600-1000$ floors most folks and they scramble trying to find the best cheap lights! I’M GUILTY!!! but the rewards of your investment are ten fold! awesome grow and here is to many more !!!

That’s a real good point @BIGE, I think we’ve all been there. Something else that should be noted, is how many watts per square are you running @MattyBear?
Thanks @BIGE, and since I’m only in a 3x3, my QB kit was around $325-350 and it’s the best investment I’ve made growing… so far lol.
@dbrn32 I’m only at 80%+/- driver output. So how many watts does that put me at like 23 Watts per square foot? Not bad lol

Interesting. I have a 4x4 tent with 600w of consumption… so that’s around 33w/ft2.

I happy with my lights also as I have spent a pretty penny on
4 x 288qb boards and 4 heatsinks = 370
2 x 288qb boards and 1 xl heatsink = 215
1 x mw hlg480 driver = 140
1 x mw hlg 240 driver = 70
2 x far red and red led 35watts = 200
Railing msc. = 125
So I’m in there pretty good and I can say they are paying off and I’m loving the difference they are making.

@MattyBear your lighting guy mentioned Cindy 99 and I spent $200 for 8 seeds. Need to start negotiations with wifey to convert my bathroom / curing room into an indoor growing room for the outdoor off season. Or to give them a running start inside before going out 
U10 dry diver scallops and fresh oysters on the menu tonight to start buttering her up.
Take care my friends!
