If you can only have 10 ozs, & you say it'll last you a long time, why would you need clones to start another grow in a short period of time?
I would just grow while it's cold & shut down for spring/summer if your smoke stash will make it that long.
I pull double your legal limit per light with se hps 600s... I couldnt even legally keep all that I grew with one light if I lived there lol. That law is silly. Good luck Michigan.
5000k only in veg is just fine.
2700k only in flower is just fine.
LEDs have very little impact on your electric bill. You’d need to have a lot more LEDs to actually make a significant impact on your bill.
As far as the 10oz limit goes, do state officials actually go door to door weighing your bud? If not, who cares. Just don’t advertise to other people that you have more than the legal limit.
2 tents is just fine for beginners.
2700k in flower will give you nice fat buds. 5000k in veg will give you really good growth.
Holidays, families getting clean pure summer crop. Even if they don’t smoke.I’m planning of giving my excess away. Save family and friends the hassle of smoking garbage. Should have some ready for Christmas gifts. Won’t have much of a cure but still the shit you get on the street doesn’t either.
If you think the new rec law is silly we have been medically licensed for years with 12 allowed plants and only 2.5 oz of usable marijuana permissible per patient.
We try to grow very tiny plants here in Michigan. ;-)
Jeeeeez that's crazy. What if you do outdoor? How could you only get 2.5 ozs? Laws are crazy... All I know is baby trees & pullin p's lolz.
So I'm new, done alot of research, bought QB's a few months back and built a light fixture. Now I'm rethinking my design and overall way of running my first grow. So I'll list what I've got, what my original plan is then what my new thoughts are. I'm hoping you experts will steer me in the right direction.
What I've got -
Lights:
2x qb288 v1 5000k
4x qb304 v1 2700k
3x qb96 v1 5000k
Drivers:
HLG-240H-C2100A (for 2x qb288's in series)
HLG-80H-48A (for 2x qb96's in series)
Tent:
Ipower 4x4x6.5
Pic of existing built fixture:

Location and laws:
Live in michigan, allowed 12 plants per residence and 10oz finished bud.
Original plan:
4 plants in 4x4 tent for veg
Built fixture with the 2x qb288's and 2x qb96 which currently pull 400w at the wall (used one of those kill a watt monitors off of amazon)
Before flipping to flower I was going to buy another 4x4 or maybe 5x5, build fixture to run 4x qb304's, will need to get drivers for this as well. Then obviously move plants to this tent to flower.
If all worked out I was going to start more plants in veg and continue into my second grow.
My concerns:
1) Limiting veg to only 5000k and limit flower to 2700k.
2) Not enough light in both veg and flower tents.
3) Exceeding 10oz limit
4) To much to manage with 2 tents
5) Extra cost for second tent with separate light fixture, electricity cost running 2 fixtures, cost for more ventilation equipment, etc.
New potential plan:
Run 4 plants in 1 tent, 4x4, for both veg and flower. Rebuild existing fixture to run qb288's, qb96's (might not include the 96's, instead eventually setup a clone station and use for this), and 2 qb304's.
My thoughts on benefits of new plan:
1) Should be plenty of light and good coverage for a 4x4.
2) Save $$$ on electricity
3) Save $$$ on extra equipment
4) Easier to manage
5) Hopefully yield will be in legal limits (10oz will last me a very long time, I don't smoke much and also use vape carts as well)
6) I thought there was a benefit of mixing the spectrums, correct me if I'm wrong please.
So looking for direction here so any thoughts, new ideas, etc are greatly appreciated.
That's a gorgeous rigg, man. If you want extra penetration you could throw a couple of 300w 6x50w CXB3590 3500k kits w/90 deg reflectors in there. They can run through both veg and flower and bolster your QBs. CXB3590s are almost as efficient as the QBs. The chips are also modular so you can swap out for veg and flower frequencies as well.

10 zips is absolutely ridiculous. I harvested 15lbs off five outdoor girls this year. Still have one late bloomer to go. Grand total will probably be over 16lbs. A storm damaged my girls or it would have been closer to 20lbs.
3lbs per plant!?!?! Wow, I had no idea you could get that much. Imoressive! Guess I will eventually be able to pay my brother in law back for spotting me bud like he does.
I love that cob kit. If only I saw that a few months back when I pulled the trigger on my QB's. Seems like a good space saver. Gives me upgrade ideas for the future. TY!
Right on! Love! Love the diamond plate! Nice touch!!
