Thanks @Donaldj was typing didn’t see you there
All good just doing a quick clean up and debating if flags are needed or a simple tag would suffice. Lighting talks are like politics always heated and passionate this thread is aptly titled key words Opinions and Personal Preference ie no wrong answers so all should be respected equally weighed and measured and disagreements expected 
Play nice everyone remember if answers have to get personal you have already lost it’s about the plants not the growers
I still don’t know what commennts were profane I don’t remember ever cursing I was just stating i say time and time again I’m just trying to spread my knowledge and was a simple question about the 1200 watt wit 224 yield most ppl say watts at wall so i was assuming he went over board with 1200 true watts in a 32x32 and that would be waaybiver kill for new grower any one would agree he saying he’s need multiple lights per plant with a lot of missing info and what goals were… I didn’t mean harm I asked him if some thing went wrong because even I was under the impression. He was talking true watts which would have been a low yield so I was just seeing if he had anyinfo on y his g/watt was so far off I was putting anyone down or calling any one out but ppl jumped down my throat assuming I’m being condensending when I was simply seeking an abwser from a person who grew and didn’t meet the hype Betty took it to next level talking to me about my self which is out of line sorry but they should be reprimanded the same as me because I was harmlessly disagreeing and wondering answer s of the far off harvest it was misunderstood someone told r hen they talk led power here they mean at the wall not replaces or face labeled valuet
I have no problem with what I see atm and am just watching not pointing fingers or slapping hands but I also am very hard to offend being a tradesman My natural language is quite aggressive to some people I have to think through what I type to avoid profanity even more so when I get passionate about a topic and just want to reply fast lmao
Thanks sonl your like me I get very passionate sometimes and it gets the best of me but sometimes I use humor in my put down it doesn’t seem like a put down but it is and I don’t realize I’m even doing it I have a great sense of humor I’m freaking hilarious to hang out with not to pull my chain and nothing but I make myself laugh
Only reason for my presence on this thread is to remind people to smoke a bowl relax and let cooler heads prevail little more 
I just got an email that Growers Lights (they sell HLG quantum boards and other brands) is having a end of the season sale on stuff. Not sure if it is just 20% off on the one light (huge, “now under $800” LOL) or on other stuff as well.
A good 2-board set up will run $300-400, but are well worth it. There’s also a “Crop2018” 5% discount code.
And no, I don’t work for them 
Just a satisfied customer. - I have the HLG 260 V2 and just bought a 135V2 for my veg tent.
Hello ARGrower,
I am in Western Wales, UK (not so united) and my last grow which I recommend are Automatic Northern Lights and they yielded in 77 days, 950g from 10 of my Green Gals, all under glass and sunlight only and regular store bought flower fertilizer.
Got me a years supply if I don’t pig out.
Although I had a bit of the Filthy Grey Mould; it seems to grow where I have manicured the excess leaves, also theses gal’s adore a bit of fan / wind action. daily.
this is great info : Botrytis Cinerea: a highly infectious crop killer - in detail | CANNA Gardening USA
Regards to you and Alabam’ ( I worked down in Opp back in '76 )

ps: it is also a fabulous smoke ( not over trippy ) I think
Nice link on botrytis, thanks!
