Have u smoked the wafer yet ? Gotta be one hell of a smoke
I sure have. My number one pheno that I ran last round and pictured in an earlier post, is some of the best weed I've had or grown. My brother agrees, and he's run them both twice now as well. Every one that smokes it, also remembers and asks about it. Very strong, head and body indica stone with a creamy pastry coated in gas flavor and smell. I ran it next to the Wedding Cake JB cut and they finished with some very close similarities, but I honestly prefer the Nilla Wafer. This number 2 pheno leaned more to the Driver. Similar tastes and smells, but more muted and not quite as potent (but not weak). Not near the plant the number one was, but still excellent weed. Number one stays green, while number 2 purples. :weedleaf::stoned:

Thank you for stopping by and I am glad that you enjoyed the thread. I've seen those 96's, they look pretty awesome for such a small size. I'm actually about to rob the qb324 from the center of that 5 board veg light and pair it up with another one I have just like it, with a 320 driver. Same as the 2 board light setup that is early in this thread. I plan is to use it to flower some male plants in the small tent where the HAOGs currently reside. I love the versatility of these HLG lights. I hope you post your light hacks for us to check out. ?
I don't know much about q/b but looks like the 324 can be driven a bit harder than the earlier ones I think 288 they were called

Yep, the 324s can be run comfortably around 160w and I've seen them run as high as 200w each on an aluminum heat sink. My two 324's on the 320 driver pulls about 330w at the wall at full blast. I have some 288s as well. I don't remember the specs on those, but I think they have a lower rating.

Their Sundae driver is special. I have had a sweetbread I've been running a while and it's my fav overall. Taste ,effect yeild it's awesome . I'm down for some wafer , shit I'drun any driver cross I think ?

I seen your 320w. 2 board light did you take 2 individual heatsinks & split them & what's the voltage on the driver ? I paid through the nose for my first 2 leds but from now on will build on my hack I used a vipar spectra 1200 I used the heatsinks , fans , housing & part of the wiring followed the path of least resistance to get it up the results were so good I'm gonna go into the next one with a bit more knowledge my worst enemy so far has been the heat july august & early Sept. just brutal I'm in the gold country at 1000ft. high heat low humidity so different from the valley/delta

The two boards are each mounted onto individual heatsinks. Then I made a frame to mount them using aluminum L channel.
114 ~ 229V is the output voltage on the HLG-320H C1400A that I'll use.
I can relate to your heat concerns. I live in a swamp, where it's high heat and high humidity 10 months out of the year. Which is another reason I like these boards and drivers. Having the ability to dial them down.

I'm pretty sure they make an xlg 320-h- ab driver that is pretty much the same but cheaper & can use a remote dimmer www.octopart.com if I remember right

What's up everybody. I haven't been on this site in a good, long minute. Looking around I still see a lot of familiar handles. I've gone through a number of life changes over the last few years, but one constant that remains, is my love for growing this plant. Just thought I'd stop in and bump this thread and maybe throw up some new pics and updates for anyone hanging around. Hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome back bud! I was happy to get reactions from you again knowing you were back.
You've got one of my favorite gardens. Always beautiful pics of chunky ladies.
