That's a question for one of the real builders on here.
Both series.Alright my kits came. I have 2x260kits.
Instructions written said qb304 4000k spectrum to hlg240hc1050a and qb288 3000k board to hlg240hc2100a drivers.
My question. To my knowledge I should wire the qb304 kit parallel and the 288 kit in series?

20% thinner base than Slate 1. Should lower cost and offer at least same thermal performance as Slate 1.
Slate 3 - 1 Board 310mm Length should be under 10
Slate 3 Triple - 3 Board 890mm Length around 30
and both come in blue
Should 4/20 presale include Slate 3 Or a kit based on slate 3 Triple ?

Buy a single driver separately from the boards and heatsink, could save about $80-100 over buying 4 kits, each with its own driver.What is the least expensive way to do a 4 board QB setup? The kit is $149 so 4 of those is $600.

If one driver fails, it's nice having 3 more still running. Not everybody has a backup light ready to throw in. Just something certain people might prefer. Not to mention that you're dealing with far fewer volts with 4 individual drivers.Buy a single driver separately from the boards and heatsink, could save about $80-100 over buying 4 kits, each with its own driver.
I'll be using a HLG-320H-C1400B to drive 6 QB304s, 3 parallel sets of 2 in series. HLG has a wiring diagram on there website.Thanks. Is there a driver big enough for 4 boards? 320?
Agree, but it's a few bucks more than using a single driver.If one driver fails, it's nice having 3 more still running.
Nothing with QBs yet. Is 288 or 304 the number of diodes on each board? My goal is to try to match a SE 1000 watt HPS. I am running SE Hydrofarms with 8" ducts and 1000 watt HPS.I'll be using a HLG-320H-C1400B to drive 6 QB304s, 3 parallel sets of 2 in series. HLG has a wiring diagram on there website.

Are you running 304s or 288s?
I'm happy with mine.Nothing with QBs yet. Is 288 or 304 the number of diodes on each board? My goal is to try to match a SE 1000 watt HPS. I am running SE Hydrofarms with 8" ducts and 1000 watt HPS.
The results are good but summer is here and QBs seem to be the way to go. Tired of heat, power use and the rest.
