Looking good bud. Thanks for the updates. Im very keen to see how those QBs perform. What wattage and hight you running currently?

After re-potting into the 20L's last Friday I am now running under 3 panels at 930 watts, I could dim them down or run 3 boards off 1 driver, but that requires a bit of effort, I may tinker and redo some wiring when they're in flower because then ill be running 5 panels and will try to isolate them to 1000watts.

Height wise let me go measure quick: they're about 60cm from canopy, the lights are very powerful so had to keep them away a bit

Wow heavy wattage. In veg you can dim it to 40% and still be effective and gradually increase from flower. IMO - My whole outlook on QBs is their efficiency. But ja thats just my two cents :-peace

Yep I definitely agree with you on that,  In all honesty I was kinda lazy wiring up the dimmer the main boards lol. But I'll most likely do it this weekend.

Based on this I've decided that I'm going to remove the one panel to the other side, run a total of 4 panels in this tent of two of the 600H mean well drivers, dimmed down and gradually increased when in full flower they'll be at 1000 watts (250 watts per board). I have a spare board (320 watts ) and a 320H mean well driver which I will use in a new small veg/clone tent dimmed all the way down.

Edit: Sorry I can't math today, total power will be 1200 watts :P  when running full steam.

If you have the PPFD info on the boards you can allocate resources according to the plants' development.

New update took @Toby's advice and removed the third panel, rearranged the panels so running two with a total wattage of 600. Today's feeding was 8ml/5l + 10ml fulvates
