Yea bit thight on cash right now because I would've normally started growing around July-August but I had to spend it elsewhere. It's cheaper than getting a 265 euros QB.

@G84 How would that be a cheaper option? What about the other parts of a QB?

If you plan to get qb 260watt kit it is cheaper if you get it from todogrowled.If you buy from US you have to add at least 40 eur for shipping+ import duties, so spanish shop would be cheaper.
I suggested you the board I am using because 2 board are 160 eur, than add 75 eur for driver. At 260watt it could be passive cooling with a board temp of around 60° C,so you do not need extra part( you can add wago if yoy want, sell from same shop where you can purchase driver).So around 240+shipping.If you want to go big, you can buy 3 board and have an extremely efficient setup for same price of qb260watt kit. 3 board will have a board temp of 50° C or less with no heatsink

Including seedling stage? That doesn't seem right, isn't veg and 6500K for seedling and veg? How low should the QB be during seedling stage?

No. That's old-fashioned thinking that needs to be abandoned. Many here now grow under 3000k-3500k from seed-to-harvest. Some do like to have a separate veg area running 4000k-5000k, but it really isn't necessary. Plenty of blue in - for example - LM561C 3000k; give your plants the proper amount of light, at the proper distance, and you won't have to worry about stretch.

What's the proper distance then? This book doesn't even include DIY LEDs, crazy how fast some things can change...

Amazing tho
