90W (149 to 164)and 135W(168 to 185) kits, price have gone up as they include the cost of shipping now.
260W kits, price have gone up as they include the cost of shipping. until now i have been packing all kits by myself. There was another $20 added to 260W kit for labor/fulfillment cost to improve availability and lead times in future.

Thanks for the explanation. Was just curious thats all.

Will multiple products in 1 order get lower shipping?

Is anybody in here familiar with cutter Electronics new xpg3 boards? Just curious on the isolated Center terminals where you thread your wire through from the bottom. 1 do you pre tin the wire on that. 2 the holes are so close together do you just do the tiniest little dab of solder on top trying not to touch the dabs together? Sorry I know it's not Quantum board related but any help would be appreciated

Unable to do that in shipping rates setup. can try to add 2 x260 combos for a discounted price to offset additional shipping.

Every time I email them he gives me such a basic straightforward answer and then says cheers! It's kind of frustrating

Which board are you looking at? Can you link it?

RandomHero8913 · Jul 15, 2017

Ok, it looks like you don't need to use those center holes if you don't want to. It looks like you can just solder like normal without running wires through it.

From the website: "Termination: The centre two holes use isolated vias, so bare wire can be threaded through the bottom and soldered to top pads, alternative for individually addressing is to solder to top pads."

Yes I've read that already my question about soldering is do I need to pre tin the wire or just thread it through? and for soldering on top do I just do a little dab right above each of the termination holes? For soldering on top I would have to Route the wires through the Optics

Hi Aj
My apologies if my answers did resolve your question. You can tin the wire or not tin the wire it will be dictated by the hole sizes vs the wire gauge, you can also solder to the top but the board was designed for wires to come up from underneath the board and go through the holes which is why we built them with isolated vias so as not to short the wire to the ground plane on the board

Cheers
Mark

I would like to run from underneath like it's meant to do I just run the wire up a little bit past the top of the board and solder up on top keeping my solder joints separate?

Platinum blue dream going into a 5 gallon tupur pot tonight

Legendary jack og are looking killer, they perked up right away when I moved them further away from the boards. Strong light

I have 2 short indica dom Phenos and 1 taller build which I hope is A 10k jack leaner

Temps have been around 78-82 and plants show no sign of heat stress.
