Sorry, I edited. What’s best for veg then bloom?
the 135 boards are on Amazon, in various spectrums (or they were when I was shopping). Would those work, or blow something up?
Have you seen theses
FOMEX-480-288V2-4 lm301b
I’m thinking of maybe becoming a US wholesaler
Would I need to buy fire insurance?

Can you link them?
If I had to buy s buy a board specifically for veg I would get 4000k. If I was buying to flower, like 3000k. The flip side there is that the 3000k and 3500k seem to veg and flower fine. So rather than spending the cash on being able to trade out color temps, I would probably go for more intensity or more efficiency if spending any more than absolutely need be. Just my light nerd thoughts though.

Good enough. I was just wondering if it would be worth the effort and $$. Will invest in better ventilation

There’s definitely some advantages. The 4000k will produce a little tighter node spacing and probably a little more rapid foliage production. But we’re talking something like a couple of inches difference over a 5-6 week veg period, nothing drastic. I think if you were leaning heavily on doing something like that, I would build with strips. You can buy multi channel strips and hook each channel up to a different dimming driver and manipulate your color temp by increasing and decreasing the separate channels. Or by doing the same thing with single channel strips and just alternating color temps.
My example there is pretty much the same though. You’ll need more strips to do that and have good intensity from each. As to where you can just buy them all in a good seed to harvest cct and run what you brung for entire cycle.

Once I get this harvest in assuming it is bountiful, I’ll be in no rush, so will be doing one plant at a time. Then one light should be fine - and it is a multi-purpose. Done.
So I need to add ventilation with either an upgraded exhaust fan, or an additional one and I should be set.

What are you looking at for fans?

I have a 4" 190-ish cfm carbon exhaust for now. Should have been 6" or 8". I’ll have to measure, but I think 6" with a cannister is all I can fit (35" width) because the 4" doesn’t have much extra space.
Just natural intake from a vent in the wall
I am considering moving it to my new 24x36 shorty flowering tent (overkill but I have a rheostat) and purchasing an upgrade to install after harvest.

Have you checked out the ac infinity fans? Some pretty cool features for the price.

Link me up baby! Nevermind, that is cool! I was actually thinking about setting a box fan outside the vent. It’s just a blocked-off apace between studs, with a vent on each side at 2 different levels to cut down on light.

They don’t have the ones that look like regular wall vents on Amazon, but if it’s inside the closet it won’t matter, Thanks! on my list.

@dbrn32, they have 2 different speeds. If I have 190cfm going out, would I do better getting the dual 80’s to keep a negative pressure?

This is the line I was referring to sorry.

Costly but it looks like it would be fun.

When you look at the features alone it’s not that bad. Then the sound and efficiency will add a lot of value to some. Personally I feel like it’s one of the best values available in fan market. A 6” hyperfan is $140, and the temp controller another $80-$100. That’s probably it’s closes competitor in sound and efficiency categories.

I have a noisy I-power one. it does move air, the more clicking sound you can handle the more air it will move

Hey, Thanks u guys!!! I think I might get one of those fans!!! They sound good!!! Less noise and all!!!
What is the difference between a HLG 260 V2, and a 260 QW???
let me see if I can get someone on the phone to tell me 2…
v2’s are a little cheaper for some reason…
@dbrn32 You think the QW 260 is better than the V2?
