I got both plastic layers off. The one side was deceiving, and was difficult to peel off . I hooked up cords to each QB96 Elite kit, and will hang them up tomorrow. I have to run the items to the ballast and they will be good to go . I have the male end of the power supply hooked up. Will run the +/- wires tomorrow to have it hooked up and make an extension cord out of the 3way female end of the cord and plug each QB96 into the extension cord. I have the ballast turned up all of the way, but I probably should turn it halfway for the first couple of days? I don't want to shock any plants. I am going to putiting them in the 4x4 with some Sour Cracks, Super Orange Haze and Hubbabubba Haze. I don't want to risk doing anything to my bigger Sativa girls by changing the lights. These plants are much shorter and already under a red spectrum with the old California Lightworks Bloom light. I will remove the California Lightworks light and keep 2 Cobs to put in 2 corners. I planning having my lights arranged so the Cobs are hanging diagonally from each other and the QB96 are hanging diagonally from each other. Cob,QB,Cob,QB. Should be bright and crank out some good nugs?!
