Quantum Gardens-
1.
260w 3000k rig .... 12/12 flip cycle ( about a week or so ) plant pubes starting. I
haven't built the other half of it yet ... Wifey got a "list for hubby " to do first ..Dammit
The cool thing about quantums is the fact you " really don't need " large watt driven rigs to grow big healthy plants. Not like the HID boys with there 400 / 600 / 1000W balls to the wall setups ... It's been pretty hot west and these rigs are running without a sweat ... Ambient temps are about 85-88° but NONE of my plants get stressed. The SLATE heatsinks are killing it for passive setups.
This is a gallon size HEMPY ( 100% perlite ) bucket drain to waste - stupid simple.
Bucket is from 99¢ store ( kids beach pail ) wrapped in duct tape to darken root zone .....
SCIENCE ! .... Lol.
DYNAGRO Nutes ( 6.0 tap water )
She is greener than Kim Kardashian's teeth and a happy little shit. She has blew up much more than expected and am looking forward to her moving to flower. Also that 3 sided grow space probably plays into it to.

2.
4 panel Quantum with COB rig ( 3500k ) - 12/12
Tangerine dream - Week 2 going to week 3 on Monday
12/12 ( soil grow Lowe's) with Dr. Earth Nutes / MaxiBloom ( GH )
Tap water 6.5
Power : 320W total with COBs ( 260 and 60 citizen ) - I can LEVEL UP but like the plants I get
under 400 ... Some of you that remember my lowly SINGLE quantum board grow with a 50w driver will know it grew nice plants too , so large scale WATT MONSTERS are not what makes these boards rock. To me there sweet spot is between 50-60 w per board.
At least for me........
