I ended up re configuring the first cob setup I put together into the 2 rows of 4 cobs. The outside rail measurements are 40''x 16''. It is super simple to put these aluminum frames together. Check out the rows...
The fixture at the end is the 3-2-3 configuration with about 15'' between cobs. These 8 cobs are powered by 2 hlg 320s 2100mA. Making it around a 640watt fixture. Great for a 4x4.

I've got at least one more light to build to be able to utilize the whole flowering space which is about 14'x4' flowering space. I'm thinking about using 4 quantum boards with a 600 w driver. Does anyone know a good place to buy qb's with their heat sinks?
Thanks sixstring, that's good to know because I rarely message companies like this. I shall hit them up most hastily. I posted a new thread in the led forum to ask the same question. Thinking about using the same components as the HLG 550 and just spacing them a little different.Ya gotta go right to the hlg website and message them to see whats in stock.it always says sold out but sometimes they have stuff because orders get canceled or they just held back a few for whatever reason.100 to 115w per board is plenty bright and easy on the chips and heatsinks.
Killer setup! My friend has what I think is the same exact kind of shed. I showed him yours and told him to build it like that. Nice lights too.
I've never been a believer on defoliation. It just makes sense to me that the fan leaves are the energy factory for the plant, and I've never seen conclusive evidence of a benefit. The measurements above support my belief. Plus, I'm just lazy. :-)Yeah i used to strip alot of my stuff around the 20 day mark and also noticed it took longer to trim and no noticeable weight dif.just alot more work on the plants during flower

The 4x4 of MD and KK#5 is developing quite nicely. I measured the canopy today while I was hanging the new light and they are leaning into the aisle a little, about 4.5' deep.

Thanks Six, the outside measurement for the frame is 32''x 22". I didn't design for the driver and I ended up riveting some u-channel aluminum to the cross braces and bolting it on to the u-channel. Mounting the driver took more time than anything. lol, kept flipping it different ways and trying to get it to fit. I like the spacing on the QB boards and that is what counts.Sweet updates man.so how big is the new qb light and what kind of spacing did you use on that frame? Looks like the driver fits in there perfect.i have that same driver just sitting here waiting for me to use it lol.
Youre killin it broThanks Six, the outside measurement for the frame is 32''x 22".

@GT21 fucking love Bubbles.
@sixstring I'm actually not sure on the spacing between the boards. I'll have to get a measurement next time I'm in there. I saw the Par map for the HLG 550 and decided I would space them a little further apart to spread any hot spots. Now there are around 2400 watts covering the 14'x4' flowering space. Pretty pumped on the new QBs, does anyone know a good par meter?
So there are 7" spacing in-between the boards on width, and 7 1/2" spacing on the length. With the outside measurement of 32'' x 22''.Sweet updates man.so how big is the new qb light and what kind of spacing did you use on that frame? Looks like the driver fits in there perfect.i have that same driver just sitting here waiting for me to use it lol.
