This is not correct. it is not series not parallel. it is some new style that is not going to work.
Please explain if this is going to work and i would love to learn something new.
This is how you do 3 in series

sorry if i gave someone bad advice, with my equipment, my lights are wired just like the first diagram...

If it works for you, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. If they read about your setup, they will see it's your own iteration of a QB.

Did it work?
I looked at the wiring again. It looks like only first and last board would work and they would work as they are in parallel.
Center will not light up.

not the best pictures, but essentially the same i think
each panel has holes to put in three sets of pins on each side. the panel that gets power has all three, and two boards run right off of it, one of those has two sets of pins, input from the board with power, and leads to the 4th board.
so, if i wanted to run them on a rail instead of a square frame, i would wire them like this instead

Hey all, I am now pretty interested in these quanntum boards and want to possibly give it a go. When those 135w kits come back up will I be able to run the one 3000k board from start to finish and return a nice yield in a 2x2? Are there any grow journals out their doing this? I find it a bit hard to locate grow journals solely using these boards. Thanks everyone!

Waiting for them to go back in stock and hoping I'll have the cash in time for when they do!

Well worth the wait. I'm running two boards, still amazed at the results i'm getting!!

There's not loads of journals because they are still relatively new but there's a few in progress.
Here is one from start to finish. https://www.rollitup.org/t/quantum-boards-across-the-pond-in-the-uk.935279/
I think @Budzbuddha has a journal too, perhaps he can provide a link.
That would give you two different set ups with different styles of plant growing. Both Awesome!!
In other news, my 2x 260w kits are arriving today!! whoop whoop...

I'm envious of any micro cab growers, with these boards the potential is so much higher than back in the day of multi cfl which I used in my first few DIY cabs. You guys are spoilt now! lol
