DIY with Quantum Boards

Total noob here...

Does anyone have a link to those screw together connectors for connecting the driver to a power cord? I assume that's a waterproof junction?

You probably want Wago connectors

I know what you are talking about-it is the power cord that Robin supplies with his QB kits he sells a kit on https://horticulturelightinggroup.com

If he see this he may tell you where to get them if he is out.

I just got 4 more QB120s-Ordered on Thursday got them today! Impressed at how fast they came HLG just seems to be getting better and better and since I am averaging 1.5 gpw right now I am VERY HAPPY!

I just got another four QB120s in today too! Thanks for tossing in the extra solid core, HLG! Fucking love you guys.

Now I just need the wife and kids to give me enough time to put it all together. 2x4xQB120, here I come...

Yeah, I'm looking for just the joiner piece. It looks like HLG only sells them in an accessories kit. I didn't know what it was called. Thanks for the reply

Help, how do I place 3 qb288 boards in a 38in*38in footprint?

@robincnn or anyone else who has the triple heat sink.

So I have the triple heat sink. How many out there are using hanging supports at just the corners and how many are using hanging supports in all 8 points?

If you use supports in just the corners, what do you think the chances are that it will flex in the middle?

Awesome! Thank you much!

I believe they are just 3 pin IP67 waterproof connectors

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-Connector-LLT-USA-L20-IP67-3-Pin-Screw-Terminal-Cable-field-assembly-/252609964438

Those are the exact ones that come with the kits.

Wagos connect the dc side of the ballast to the boards.

Curious what gpw #'s people been pulling with the QB304s?

I've got a couple of configurations I mind.

Pretty steady at 1.5 gpw I was only getting 1.1 with CMH. I think that if I ever upgrade my pots to 8-10 gal I can get a little more.

So, with a HLG550, you get about 750 grams?

Hoping for 1.5gpw with this setup


Canopy is a little uneven

No chance of flexing. It is a sturdy aluminum extrusion.

Thank you very much, that's great info

if the triple heatsink has fins then I would say no to it flexing at all cause the fins will add stability IMO

I think you will get it. I can't take a pic now (company) but I am more even but a little more sparse. I defoliate a lot more but usually keep my lower branches if they are close to the top. I grow a lot of different strains and use coir so I am a little inconsistent.
