I need more light

[Budzbuddha]

Best bet : HLG 225 ( cmh equiv ) lamp.
True watt pull
Meanwell driver
Ready to hang and use
Dimmer port ( if needed )
$299

Or if you do the Tsw 2000 you would be better off with 2 ( more money ) or at least one to add to your current setup.

Basically steer clear of those blurple panels.

Hlg 225 will cover 4x4 veg

What about when in bloom

 

[Rivendell]

thats a pretty good deal for a diy kit on amazon tbh... would be interested in some readings if you or a buddy might have any

Unfortunately I don't have access to a meter. On another note, its a plug and play fixture just need to plug the fixture into the driver.

Which knock off

Maxisun pb4000 ($330)
Mixjoy 4000($420)

HPS 600W and save some of your cash over LEDs that you cannot afford.

Use the saving for good extraction.

Problem solved and top notch bud.

All good

Qb132's are back in stock today. Good bang for the buck there. Saw a 320w driver on ebay last night for just over $100. Well under $300 for over 300w of led. Pretty good

I'm using a bestva 1000watt led but I feel it's not enough I got a decent budget of around 300 to 350

Nothing to say you cant use your budget to upgrade one half your tent and use your bestva a later date when you've seen what a good led can do.

BTW never trust amazon reviews.

Any quantum board that isn't made by HLG is basically a knockoff. They started QB's.

 

[Cle_420_mob]

Maxisun pb4000 ($330)
Mixjoy 4000($420)

Where did you find the pb4000 for 330

I've got 5 (building 3 more fixtures RN) of the QB 132’s in one space but I'm running the 240 W version drivers - I'd recommend the HLG-240H-C1750B good call though!
They beat anything Amazon knock off with dependability and longevity! Spend the money well now, rather than learn from your mistakes with wasted money after!

I also use the 240 on two of my qb132 sets. I just recommend the 185 because it's usually $25-30 dollars cheaper, the boards run even cooler, and you can run them closer to the top of the canopy. I am currently building my third set. After this, I think I'm just going to add some red strips and call it good enough. It's only a 4x4
