Hey guys I'm back!

Well I ended up getting lucky and snatching up this quantum board kit on hlg. The heat sink was too long for my Grow box so I had to improvise. Originally it looked like this

So I had a piece of shit led light kicking around so I took it apart and grabbed the heatsinks from it. Which was perfect because it had an aluminum plate with it. I drilled and tapped a bunch of holes to make the boards fit. I put the drive sideways on top of the heatsinks. This aluminum and heatsinks are heavy as shit but hey whatever. Hlg was able to give me the QB 304. Here are some more pictures of what I started with and the finish product. I'm sorry I know people want to talk shit about the quantum boards but they are straight killing the game right now. Talk shit about how the corners don't perform but I think there great. Kk now that my rant is over sorry bout that. What do you think. Will I yeild a good amount. I know this is better than my California lightworks solarstorm 440

Yeah fair comment, I didn't realise the area was as small from first glance. That's going to be the limiting factor.

What are the dimensions of grow space @Married2MarryJ ?

2x2x4 but really the light takes up about 6 inches so I have 31/2 feet to work with. I've done one harvest in this box first Grow with California light works solarstorm 440 I pulled 180 grams with an oz of trim. I want more! Lol here's my last grow before I cut her downIMG_1626.JPG

Hey guys,

So I know that I've been lost for a few. I ended up chucking the green crack seedling. Don't get me wrong it was from blimburn seeds I got it on attitude but it was a while ago and lots of new goodies have been coming out and I want to grow some dank if I'm going to grow in the first place. I was able to get a strain called


Rainmaker

From Ethos Genetics

I got them of SHN which is a very good and legit place btw probably my new place for

Top quality genetics. Here are some pictures of the breeder pack and stuff. Ran out of Tupperware so I'm using ziplock bags and paper towels to germinate like I said warm dark and unbothered is how they like it so I'm just going to leave it be. I'll be itching to check tommorow night lol. I ended up getting 2 antec 120mm fans to put on my heatsinks since this box gets so hot!

Make sure to use all this free space next time. I see atleast 30% space to improve :)

And the plant in the photo would have needed 2-3 more weeks from my pov. That would have done atleast 30% more weight.

Sorry to say, but the SS isn‘t a bad light. Neither will the QB be a miracle engine.

Plant looked really healthy (just not finished), so I am sure, you will have a nice next grow! Good luck!

I know the light free up so much space for me and I'm going to try and use a wider pot Instead of taller for more space!
Dude that's funny because ur totally right I had to cut her down early because my floors had to get done ugh! Don't worry this time around this one is going to get all the time she needs. Imagine if I had waited I could have probably pulled 7 oz

Hey it's sorry been so busy
I haven't been around for a minute. I'll tell you one things these seeds are really hard to pop. Or maybe the light is too intense for the box out of four. Two of them survived and damn they are vegging really slow. I guess all strains are different
