DIY with Quantum Boards

[hillbill]

Some of the first I grew was f2 haze from Dutch something or other. It had the longest pistils I ever saw in years since.

DWC flora trio, calimagic, floralicious plus, liquid koolbloom, mammoth P, and fake hydroguard. I've also hit the root ball a few times with some recharge that I bubbled for 24 hours during res changes.

I'm genuinely considering cutting the top out of my 2x4 tent so I can raise the light and up the current.

QB 288 ( 3000k )
1 gallon grow bag
Dr. Earth and MaxiBloom
12/12 til week 7 then 11/13 week 8
10/14 til choppy chop time .....

Godfather OG



Auto Blue Dream - Humboldt

This " WAS " under 18/6 til last week when main tents came down for visitors.
Flowering was already well established and the drop down to 12/12 didn't cause any hiccups for being an auto. She is still bulking up ok.



Green crack in the jar .... Still curing ( 2 week )
Very hard not to SAMPLE - LOL




Happy TERPY day ...

Nice buds! Never tried an auto except smoking some. Grew up with ditch weed everywhere if you knew what it was. Gave me the willies I guess.

When you see good two builders get together and ditch wonderful COBs for Quantum Boards, well that speaks real loud! A board or two is in my future.

Im looking to buy 6 qb288 and 3 hlg-240h-c2100b to run them with dimmers on each driver. This would be my first build to replace my 1k. I think from what information ive gathered that would allow me to run these over 100 watts each if i wanted. Also id like to buy the pre tapped heatsinks from hlg but they are not available at the moment so any suggestions on heatsink would be appreciated. ive had all this stuff in my cart for a fews hours but have yet to pull the trigger.

Have you asked @Stephenj37826 when he will have the heat sinks back in stock?

Get a sheet of .125 aluminum and screw them to that. It works fine and others have done it

Nice. Is that Pineapple Express #2? I got some seeds but we are just getting started. The flowering supposedly is super short at 45 to 50 days with really good yields. have you found that to be true?

You will love the simplicity of it all - kits are ready to run . 2 board builds CAN run a 3x3 without issue. Some BAG BEANS can actually grow some stout Sativas if allowed to actually grow and cure. Most of that street swag is not fully matured or worse .... compressed cured for quick sale ..... Hasd some mexi red that was pretty good - kinda harsh smoke but strong. .

I have some plants that were hit with water with high ph, I thought it had done serious damage. But they have not only recovered, they are building some damned fine bud! I decided that the best course of action was to water with some organic nutrient, so I made a solution of Grow More Seagrow ( I believe Doctor Earth is re-branded Grow More products ), ppm'd to 700 ppms. They went from mostly yellow to nicely green! I didn't think the foliage would recover!

you can see the ph damage still but the plants are doing fine!

Seagrow is good stuff -- and very affordable.

Just a freebie seed, G13 is the breeder.
No idea about yield or flower time, its my first run of the strain

Have you guys thought of putting a T on the end of your heatsinks so you can slide them into 8/20 aluminum would be an awesome addition

If the waiting time is too long, just build them yourself. An aluminum sheet and a few c-channels are all you need.

So I hear complaints from HIDers about the less wattage used reducing yields as a reason for not liking QB, but couldnt you just use the same wattage? I dont get it.

That's nonsense from naysayers!
If you use the same wattage(~1100w's) you could easily double your grow area.

You can get the same yields with less Watts too, but it does require an adjustment in one's methods. The inflexible would always rather complain than learn something.
