sup man, im also uk. i hope your attic is better insulated than mine?! bit nips this time of year
300w will smash that space easy. 150cm head height?
i use a lot of 3k boards and they do great. 660nm is popular at the mo. go with that

3k more.red, flower and vegg.
4k is more vegg friendly and also nice for short plants with some extra frost. Generally yields a bit less though

I've been vegging under straight 3000k for a couple of years, and I find it works wonderfully well. The only space in which I use a different color temp is the nursery for seedlings and clones, where I have the babies under a 6500k CFL. (I do have one 3500k space, but it's rarely used - and I haven't really seen any notable difference from the 3000k in the veg performance.)
Ye I’m planning on insulting a box where my grow tent will sit in the middle to try keep it at better Temps and yes 150 height.

I saw you were on aliexpress. If you want to order from china, get on alibaba and go Shenzhen Meijiu Lighting or Shenzhen Kingbrite Electronics
Lot of people overlook them because theyre 561s and arent the newest best thing.
I still love my 561s. It would have cost me nearly an extra 1k to do what I wanted in 301s at the time.
Just brow
just browsing to try find the best fit , thsi one was just abit to much I want to spend £200 on lights max if that’s possible.

I still love mine too. I don't think the difference between v1 and 2 on paper translates so much to the grow room.

Yeah fair play man, don't blame you for weighing up all your options, just a bargain considering from the US its $369 which translates to at least £369 after tax and shipping. Plus 3 year warranty and easily returned.
There's a lot of sellers on ali, stick to the recommended ones if you go that route and make sure you ask what its going to cost to ship and add 20% for import duties.
Still cheaper from china all in, but warranty isn't as simple as it sounds.
Plenty of examples of both clone QBs and genuine QBs grows on here.
Oh I double checked the stats on theose QB120 v2s from hlg vs the QB v1s ($29) from HLG and the QB120 v2 win by a tiny bit, slightly more efficient.
If you look at the new meanwell xlg drivers locally they are cheaper and smaller.
Think I’m gonna go for the qb120 v2 boards for $132 instead of 4 qb 120 v1 boards it would cost me $116

i wouldnt expect much customer service from china after purchase if theres a problem
or diyleduk is uk based and does all sorts.
i need a load more lighting soon and im probs gonna go with lots of china boards and no heatsinks...
DIY strips are also really good.
there are lotsa good options. youre in the right place
