I just built the 4 Quantum board set up with power supply. No heat sink required. No soldering wired in series L bracket framing material screws drill and bits home depot. Wire ties thats it, snap connectors easy i know you could build one! Go for it!
That is sick man i may have to take the leap when i get the cash. How much does it cost to run that per day in a 12/12?
I get electric bill every 2 months i haven’t received one yet. But i just put that light together yesterday! I’m in week 4 of flower tomorrow. I replaced a so called 650 watt burple light.
Yea i guess i just wanted to go cheap for start up thought my lights were good because of the true wattage confusion. Now that i have that straightened out, i can start planing.
I want to work into my full tent and have 8 plants at a time i think would be max. Please correct if i am wrong.
I am about ready to flower. I know nothing about my strain and need to take clones afraid that if i take them before i flower they will be ready before space is availible. Any ways to get around that or just go big. I will be dropping my number of plants after this run to accomidate the w/sqft issue. Please help
I paid more for less with the burple and had less coverage. The beauty of the DIY is you can build to accommodate your space for even lighting. Less heat and lower cost for the money. Quantum Boards was a leap above the light i was using. Coverage now is even and cover the entire space. Cost around 250. For everything
Wow that isnt to bad. Like @wickedale said i am looking at about a grand. So i guess start small. What is your grow space if i may ask?
And same with the burple…learning process
I need like 8x that, i am in a 8x4. I think i found my next large purchase gor income tax time lol
You just loose me with all sube jargon that i am gonna have to catch up on. Lot to learn apparently.
Do you have any idea how much it cost to run that setup?
What’s your cost per kwh?
I’m locked in at .08 til November.
Yea i will definatley be looking into this now that i know more about it all somewhat
Thave you used the EUD 600s with bluetooth? What extra things do those drivers do?
Also what is the best place to order these parts on the web? Or should i shop around?
What are the board differences between the normal v2s and the xw and xl boards just the width and length?
Also when you say yhe QB288 v2 the 288 is refering to the watt?
Xw and xl refer to size of heatsink that is included with the kit.
Nope, 288 is the number of chips on the board. V2 means that it uses Samsung lm301b.
Thanks for the answers
ok it has been a minute since i gave an update. about 2 or 3 days after starting flower i found 3 males. gave those to a neighbor. i put them all closer together under both lights. so far so good.
added a co2 bag in there to help too. any help on where to get the parts to build the light mentioned above?
Horticulture lighting group for the Quantum Boards. Everything else can be found at a lot of places
would you mind reposting the parts list for the 8x4 area u had up before i put the link to the hgl web site please?
