I already have some hogs in the beauty room; the first lighting i want to eradicate are the t5s. So 1kw in veg to start. Based on existing cumulative consumption of 3715 watts i would really enjoy shaving off 300 or so $ off the monthly bottom line.

Seeds just sprouted for my first QB grow! They will spend a few days under one, 55 watt COB in my 20"x20"x48" cab I use for seedlings and clones. I'll get pics up when the plants go under the light.

I'll be growing 2- Seedsman Trainwreck and 2 Northwest Exculsive Hammer of the Gods

The best part is you can use the same lights for both.
No need to move anything cept reset the timer.

Hey @Budzbuddha what's your growing area with how many QBs? i'm thinking about the QB spread @ 2x3
I'm using two boards in a 2x3 cabinet. At about 160watts and its plenty of spread and penetration.
This is a lower bud at day 33

That bush tent is 48x24x60 " - 3 QB build ( from my original 1 board build. )

Wing spread is about 42" which is perfect fit . The build has some active cooling from panel enclosure which also vents over other boards .

It helps keep stable temps all day ... It stays from 65° to 81° ( mostly room temp )

bamboozled by NapalmD's 240w journal, so i'm going for 3 QBs 80w each for 2x3 (5.5sqF)
I'll run them bare for a 5-6w veg dimmed @ 150w until the slate3 arrives.

That still maybe overkill, from what i'm seeing. Unless you have ample headroom.

Well got my VIVOSUN Mylar today and re-lined the tents with the Quantum Rigs.
This was like night and day .... Enough so that i dimmed down slightly .

Now i should get all of those pesky photons that were falling flat on the original refelective surface.

As far as the Quantum Boards ... All is good in the neighborhood !
Temps are 77° at 12/12 ( 11/13 ) cycles .
I noticed also that plants can be foliar sprayed ( with out burning ) unlike with other systems. I have been spraying Spinosad for preventative and can do it anytime during day without issue.

Looking good guys! Wish I could do perpetual grows. Just don't have the space or need. Sadly after this round I will be done till the end of the year. I love to grow but my low usage and no one around me smokes lol. I'm just not in that circle of people anymore "no offense to anyone" .

On a grow note I did max my little 2 board build going into week 5 of flower. 175w and the plants are just amazing.

More's the pity. 'That' circle of people are without doubt the most interesting and intelligent bunch I've ever had the pleasure and privilege of being a part of.
