DIY with Quantum Boards

THE HORROR ......


Regular Autos ... hate them .
Running a batch of TESTERS ... “ autos “ Black Afghani x Blueberry

This is why I prefer fem seeds ( bought or made by me ).

REDFLAGS :
This bastard NEEDED a “ FLIP “ to 12 / 12 instead of self bloom.
It ran into week 6 before I had to change cycle since most would have at least sexed by now .
And of course .... balls .

At least when I breed my own gear , I purposely self a female to female.
Hate wasting medium , lights and other shit on a trashcan plant.

If the damn thing was full male , that would have been a pollen machine ... oh well.
Damn you Caitlyn Jenner !

Enjoy the dumpster .


PLAN B : Always have backups..

What are the dimensions of your grow area? I've recently just gotten back into growing, primarily herbs and microgreens. But I'm interested in going the LED route as electricity costs about the same price as a call girl in my country. I just bought a 240x120x240cm tent.

I’ll take a lux reading in the morning, I herd you wanna have 100000 lux plus... what is a good lux reading for the top of the canopy? so I can adjust to suit :)

Plants seem to love it all the leaves are standing at attention

100000 lux from 3000k led is very likely to cause deficiencies and bleach your plants. Try for 50000lx max, getting there by slowly lowering (1 inch every day or 2) or increasing intensity if your already dimmed.

Personally, id run like a 320H-C2800B or 480H-C3500B and wire the boards in series parallel and run them lower for efficiency. There are a lot of options, the 600s are just really expensive drivers at $170-180. Ive been doing a lot of reading on these and havent seen many people running them anywhere near full power.

Even running 2x 240H-54B drivers at $60/piece would be a better option imo..
54v output and 4.4a of current so each board gets 2200ma and still get great output without running your lights at full power.
Im big on efficiency and gettings best performance for the money both short and long term.

Being new to the growing I have a viparspectra v600 600w led grow light its good so far but the learning bug is catching on now this has been fun to start learning again. Now realizing about cob's and boards and all this good stuff going on. I have some questions.
I am just finishing my first grow that I am cutting this week What do you people think If I were to go this route I need some gurus to help me out. I am going back and forth on this its a lot of money for us so we want to make the right decision on this. I am not afraid to do the diy board as it looks simple enough since someone from rollitup help us start learning about cobs about a week ago and making your own which we can't thank enough this is the most helpful board we have been on out of all of them. Any help is very appreciated by all you guys.
Also, would this quantum board V2 driver would be enough to eventually power 4 boards possibly?
I am reading and learning this makes life fun for again I thank you guy in advance and appreciate there is a site like this one
1:) 135-watt Quantum board led kit v2 135 watt Vs a premade which I could expand on easily or go with a
2:) premade Cob grow light 1800 watt
