I will continue to do business with HLG. I know I am going to have questions and I think the great folk at HLG will continue to legitimately help the fellow DIYers out there.

This is my first DIY project and they had the compassion to answer my questions, for me.

TL;DR

Do business with HLG. They put the time in, great customer support, and even for the small guy it is an ability to get into new technology.
Robin and I must have emailed eachother 30 times while we figured out my build, the time he must have spent communicating with me, over a small 2 board build... great customer support.

This is actually kind of hilarious. Shows the rabbit hole you can open yourself up to when you make it "DIY" rather than plug and play. Great customer support, sure, but also a serious waste of time IMO. Especially considering you probably could have crowd sourced all the information you needed from the community here...

Wow, this thread has really gone to shit. Can we get back to growing herb with LEDs? All ya'll suck ass. Stop jerking your shit about who's boards are ripoffs and who's have what diode blah blah blah fucking blah. Seriously, stfu. The QBs are great, they grow dank. Other people make similar boards. I can slap together some Samsung strips and make a bigass QB for less. Who cares?! Don't fucking buy them if you don't agree with the concept. Vote with your dollars, not your keyboard. I was a little upset with @Greengenes707 when he dissed RIU on techtalk, but he's not wrong. This place is a bit of a joke sometimes, and I haven't even been here that long. Get over your egos and make positive contributions or gtfo.

GG has every right to diss this place after what happened in his informative thread...........never agreed with it being trolled & closed. Jealousy is a bitch.

new tech talk!? nice.........I need 28hrs in a day to get everything done atm, loved that show when he started it with robin.

I wouldn't be too happy with a 1:1 clone either, but that's how it goes in here since the beginning.........ask positivity, gg, supra, sds, guod, eh, nick, hans, etc. ====public forum

I agree back to grow & show with some efficient QBs

I hate no one. I hate three things though, stupidity, arrogance, and greed. As far as the economics of mass produced goods goes, the only thing I can see that will change that is a good asteroid strike.......... we sure as hell don't deserve the world we're destroying

What about a solid zombie virus outbreak? We would get to eat each others brains too!

Well let's face it, it's just Samsung LEDs. Doesn't matter all that much how they're mounted. Samsung made some nice LEDs. Stick em on a rectangular board, a long thin board, a round board, whatever. You guys are quibbling over the mounting system basically. Apparently a few people thought the QB mounting system was somehow magical and went to the trouble of duplicating it. Could have just bought a bunch of pre-made strips from Samsung and saved themselves a lot of effort and expense. Stuck 3 of em together side by side so it's a rectangle shape if they thought that shape was special. Doubt if buyers would care if the board is metal or phenolic or whatever that stuff is. Even the phenolic need little in the way of heat sinks, if any at all. Just that it might extend the life some.

You guys are quibbling over very little of any real substance when you think about it. Quantum Board is just a brand name, not a new wonder product. Samsung LEDs on a board, common as hell. In fact, the joke's on the copycats. Because nobody gives a shit what shape board the LEDs are on, just who has the lowest price per watt. My guess is Samsung, followed by a few different retailers. Pretty sure getting a small quantity of boards custom made would be the most expensive route of all.

Exactly. Let's all smoke a bowl and get back to growing the dank

The copying doesn't bother me as much as your bragging in the owner's thread.
Its called marketing...

Clearly there is a large market for these boards residing in this particular (public) thread. So why not advertise here? It makes business sense, of which, many users in this thread clearly lack.
