Mephisto Sour Orange Livers automatic Day 70
in a 2x4 tent under 2 QB288s @ ~1.1a 10" from the top colas
DWC flora trio, calimagic, floralicious plus, liquid koolbloom, mammoth P, and fake hydroguard. I've also hit the root ball a few times with some recharge that I bubbled for 24 hours during res changes.

Auto Blue Dream - Humboldt

This " WAS " under 18/6 til last week when main tents came down for visitors.
Flowering was already well established and the drop down to 12/12 didn't cause any hiccups for being an auto. She is still bulking up ok.

Nice buds! Never tried an auto except smoking some. Grew up with ditch weed everywhere if you knew what it was. Gave me the willies I guess.

When you see good two builders get together and ditch wonderful COBs for Quantum Boards, well that speaks real loud! A board or two is in my future.

Im looking to buy 6 qb288 and 3 hlg-240h-c2100b to run them with dimmers on each driver. This would be my first build to replace my 1k. I think from what information ive gathered that would allow me to run these over 100 watts each if i wanted. Also id like to buy the pre tapped heatsinks from hlg but they are not available at the moment so any suggestions on heatsink would be appreciated. ive had all this stuff in my cart for a fews hours but have yet to pull the trigger.

Have you asked @Stephenj37826 when he will have the heat sinks back in stock?

Get a sheet of .125 aluminum and screw them to that. It works fine and others have done it

You will love the simplicity of it all - kits are ready to run . 2 board builds CAN run a 3x3 without issue. Some BAG BEANS can actually grow some stout Sativas if allowed to actually grow and cure. Most of that street swag is not fully matured or worse .... compressed cured for quick sale ..... Hasd some mexi red that was pretty good - kinda harsh smoke but strong. .

I have some plants that were hit with water with high ph, I thought it had done serious damage. But they have not only recovered, they are building some damned fine bud! I decided that the best course of action was to water with some organic nutrient, so I made a solution of Grow More Seagrow ( I believe Doctor Earth is re-branded Grow More products ), ppm'd to 700 ppms. They went from mostly yellow to nicely green! I didn't think the foliage would recover!

you can see the ph damage still but the plants are doing fine!

Seagrow is good stuff -- and very affordable.

If the waiting time is too long, just build themSelfmade LED Heatsink, 600x350mm, used passive with 120w, T.c stays below 50°C.jpg yourself. An aluminum sheet and a few c-channels are all you need.
