I have a question about best types of aloe to use. last summer I tried 1/2 a batch of clones using aloe gel in place of clonex. and went straight into a light soil mix instead of peat. I only got about a 60% success rate where I normally get 95% w clonex, but the roots I did get were super...

I find myself looking for new stuff to buy when I only need a few items. I feel bad ordering only a few things lol. Anyway here's an update you can all appreciate. Harvested my last plant from the 4x4 that had 6 earthbox Jr's. first plant I pulled was a White Runtz that yielded 64g of...

also have a serious question. are piss terps different than herb not being cured properly and just smelling of ammonia? i always assumed thats what it was when i encountered it in the past. same thing with some strains that ppl swear have mildew terps. no pee pee or mold flavors in my...

@Frank Nitty ok heres what u have now with board placement how to wire in series i would suggest flipping the boards around so that the connectors are facing inwards. it will make the wiring connections shorter and keep everything 'inside' the fixture.

nah that will make it simpler give me a little bit and I'll draw a new diagram... stuck on a work call for next hour or so.

Confirmed

thanks! and sorry again @Frank Nitty based on that I'm pretty sure 4 132s will work fine on the C1750 in series. same diagram I gave before. @pop22 said earlier that the 2 Rspec boards in series will work on a C1750 as well. I would wait for confirmation on this. I am not an expert nor do I...

shit I just zoomed in on the pic he posted and they are definitely qb 132 v2s. sorry @Frank Nitty that I didn't notice this before. driver math needs to be redone. 4 132s x 36V = 132V. that C2100 driver only goes up to 119V so that won't work for the 4 boards in series. but it should work...

same amps but more volts are available. the C1750 wouldnt be able to fit more than 3 288s I dont think. 48.1 x 3 = 144.3V and it only goes up to 144. I am pretty sure it will work tho bc I put 5 288s on my 240HC-1050B (which goes to 238V ... 47Vx5 = 235V) and they all powered up and it was at...

good morning.. thanks Pop that fuel analogy was the best explanation I have heard. What is confusing me is that according to the datasheet on the QBs at lower currents like 1750 they are only pulling closer to 48V not 51. Since the C1750 can output 143V it seems pretty close that u could get...

yeah i dont get it either tbh. I have my 240H-c1050B connected to 4 QB288s. according to the datasheets that should mean there is like 52V left over and i should only get 200W from it. however if u look at the datasheets there is a chart that shows the curve where it switches b/t CC and CV...

All good. This stuff took me a long time to get a grasp of. A few years ago I couldnt tell you confidently if the power from a wall plug was AC or DC lol. Big ups to @Rocket Soul and @The Loafter and everyone else I kept bothering in PMs with questions. If you check the QB288 board guide you...

2 QB288s on the C1750 is only going to be 150W. 2 QB288s on the C2100 is only going to output 200W and if he uses that for the 288s he won't have it to use for the 120s.

that is the recommended driver for 4 QB120s in series. if you want to run the 2 QB288s in parallel then get this driver: HLG-240H-54A https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mean-well-usa-inc/HLG-240H-54A/7704006 That will give you constant voltage, and then split the current between the 2...

@Frank Nitty here is how i would wire up the QB120 fixture in series using your current setup to keep the wiring simple. You just need to make sure the + / - are in the proper positions so u might need to flip the 2 'bottom' boards so they are setup like in this diagram. red is driver + black...

ok I think I know what's been your problem. you got the C series drivers which are constant current. Those are for using in series. From your pic of your QB boards you have them connected in parallel! That's why they won't work. The C2100 will work for the 4 QB120s if you connect them in...

what driver do u have hooked up to each one?

@Rocket Soul check it! someone finally rocking the Thrives! Can't wait to see how these do, I've been so tempted but price has been holding me back. Those plants look super happy so far ;)

what boards do u have again? I feel like we need to take another crack at getting you set up you have been at this too long and still haven't got them running? I'm positive we can get them to work I've run qbs in series, parallel, A and B type drivers, meanwell and other brands. They always...
