Ok so I have a light frame running 12x qb132 boards. The frame is perfect for a 4x4 tent where all plants would basically be under direct light.
In order to save on money I adjust the drivers to 200w per row which is 3 rows of 4x panels. So that's 4 qb132s pumping out 200w.
My question is this. If I took away 4 panels and adjusted the positions for the remaining 8 for a 4x4 area, running at still 600w, be more intense and better penetration vs having the 12 boards splitting the 600w?
Cause I mean 8 boards running 600w means they are pumping more energy to each board so it should actually be brighter, more intense and better light penetrating power right?
With 12 boards, each board is running at 50w, but with 8 boards each one would be running 75w.
