Hi, I am new to RIU and this would be my first post. I have followed this thread since oct 2017 and covered all pages/followed along. I was in the market for something new as my Gavita 750e was in need for a bulb and hood. i knew the LED technology was coming a long way, so my first purchase was 4 v1 QB 288 3000K on 2 hlg 240h c2100a. I dropped that into my 4x8 tent and on either side of my gavita and wow things just got brighter. Since my gavita was taking up 7 + amps it didn't take me long to add 3 more boards to replace. I finally recently purchased 4 qb96 elites and 4 hlg 185h 54a drivers to complete my 4x8 footprint. My whole set up is currently running just over 10 amps with room to go higher further in flower. I also am a Megacrop user coming from green planet nutrients. Just megacrop ( v1 ), sweet candy, some silica and cal mag. I noticed the smell and taste was nicer with the MC and running this saves me space, time and $. I can be a bit of a rambler so i will end this post with a big "Thank You" to the folks at HLG Lighting and Greenleaf Nutrients. As well a big Thanks to many of you who have helped me. Oh ya, a big thumbs down to yoda... who actually steered me clear for a day or 2 of Quantum boards ( re page 1 idiot). I bet yoda... secretly is the proud owner of a bunch of quantum boards, but never to admit it. I will follow up with some of my builds and pics ( all inspired from here ). For any new to this technology don't hesitate. Even if you have to add slowly like I did. Cheers from BC..
