Do you journal JGG? I'd like to follow your work :)
I also think growing with so much high CRI light is an entirely different ball game than most have been playing with up until recently and carries it's own unique challenges and rewards.

 Is that running mixed phenos, or clones? How much penetration do you get?
that 2 gpw was the last clone run of my buddies sweet tooth ( it's a higher yielder) half 3 part jungle juice. half my first no till attempt.. some how It went off without a hiccup first time 😄

I had solid small nugs 4' from my light ( a good 2 1/2 - 3 feet down thru canopy) everything looked smaller than what I was use to seeing.. but weighed out heavier due to the LEDs 😁 I was guessing 1.3 maybe by what size I was use to seeing.. I'm glad I was wrong 😄

4 foot? thats pretty crazy.... Now that I put my strips I'm pretty surprised at both the density and the penetration.

UPDATE version 1.2

after running the good old 4 288 v1's 3500k.... with slate 1 maxi pad heat sinks... on a RapidLED 4x4 substrate... using a hlg480h-c2100b driver for almost a year... I finally did a upgrade! I added 2 more boards. swapped drivers, and changed the framework. it's now version 1.2..

4 288 v 1 3500k boards in the corners. 2 288 v 1 2700k boards in the middle..

driver was swapped to a hlg-480h-54b

framework is now 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/8 T6061 angle aluminium.. with a 1/4 x 3" eyebolt in the corners and number 8# machine screws and nuts everywhere else.. the over all size is 38" x 40".. with the spacing so another slate 1 heatsink could fit in between.

it's lighter... easier to manage solo.... my poor little slate 1's don't run as hot... and my efficacy went up running them at 1500ma instead of 2100!! 😄 yeah.. same old poopy pictures from old p.o.s. tablet! 😁 I'm also sexing "tomato" plants atm!!

Nice upgrade man.

I bought myself 16 Cree CXB 3590 3500K CD bins on 4 Meanwell HLG 185 C1400 drivers.
My first run with these I had 1,016KG of nugs and 35gr fluff.
Whats that in LBS? 2.2 Lbs? And a bit more than an ounce of fluff.
Now a summerstop and end of august round 2 with some nice old dutch clones. :)

Had to do a double take and then I remembered you guys use commas as periods for numbers like that.
