Is there anything like a wiki for these things? All the great info on this close-to-infinite thread lol. I'm having trouble collecting the various possibilities in my head, what with being really stoned and busy all the time. Would be great to have the info easily accessible when needed. I'm pretty spergy, if you haven't noticed, I want to know everything I possibly can before blowing lots of cash. I loved going from hps to cobs, now I want to join the qb community lol.

Ledgardener and growmau5 (although his videos are a bit dated with regards to components) on youtube are both great resources.

For comparing drivers I use this.
http://ledgardener.com/driver-reference-sheet/

Also on led gardner.com, he has the basics to meanwell drivers. A 4 part video, that explains the drivers pretty well.

Then you just figure out how many watts you need for your grow space. Look at the charts on horticulturelightinggroup.com for the style qb you are wanting. They will tell you how many volts a qb will run at certain currents. Figure out if you want less qbs run harder with heatsinks, fans, and or cooling.

Bam, then you'll be off to growing about a lb. Lol

For the DIY crowd where do you source your components? Waterproof ip67 connectors, power cord, wagos, wire?

I was going to order another 520w setup but they don't have any kits in stock?

Yeah Amazon for most of those parts. I went to wireandcableyourway.com for wire and I found this cool product called connexbox from the uk that sells wagos with a makeup box to store the wagos in for a little added waterproofing.

https://www.connexbox.com/shop/wagobox-and-din-rail-enclosures/wagobox-light-junction-boxes-in-grey-pack-of-6.html

this kit includes wagos and boxes. this is their smaller form factor box, they have a bigger one that I prefer but I found use for the lite version as well
