    Wattage advice for QB96v2 + strips

    I am trying to make sure I am at least in the right general range for my grow and I don't have a proper light meter and cannot afford even a cheap one yet. I just want to make sure I am not under-powering things and wasting potential. My setup is a QB96V2 overhead(with homemade reflector), and...

    A DIY LED light using Samsung LH351H-C SMD (3535)

    I don’t think I have really seen any lights for sale with these SMD’s in them. They are much bigger than the 301b’s and are rated for a few watts vs .5 watts. These are specifically geared towards horticulture and have a lense, I assume you could mount them to star boards and make your own...

    Using a second hand HLG-240H-36A LED Driver to power 2x QB132 v2’s Quantum boards which are 75w max each, so 150w together. Trying to use the driver Adjustment screws for Voltage and Amps The Io ADJ screw is doing nothing at all. And the Vo ADJ screw is changing amp current while the voltage...

I want to grow short plants , I'm not necessarily aiming for high yield but of course for quality yield. I want to go for QB and i have two options from two local shops...

    How far to keep your LED's / Quantum Boards from the canopy?

    This question about lights is probably as old as the first people who started to grow weed with electricity, and has been asked tons of times here too without end in sight. I didn't see a "real dedicated" topic about it either so decided to make one. Maybe some official or unofficial infotopic...

    DIY multi LED grow light

    I want to built an LED grow light from scratch but I'm not sure what to look for when wiring in series and parallel on the same board. I want it to have different types of LEDs with different wavelength, like the Spider Farmer SF4000 or the SSK-272-RR-V2 for example, so I have to deal with...

    2x spiderfarmer SF1000 in a 2x2ft - hanging height

    If i would use 2x spiderfarmer SF1000 in my 2x2ft box, would the hanging height still be 12-18" for flowering? I wanna up my total watts in there for flowering to maximize yield pr. harvest, not yield/watt ofc. So i am actually planning to do 2x spiderfarmer SF1000 dimmed to 75% (about 150watts...

    Should I sacrifice watts for UV?

    So I’m growing in a 2x3 tent for a closet grow and just recently completed my first harvest, yielded 50g/plant (3 plants, 5gal pots) and grew under a 150w Qb and a 110w blurple. I bought another 200w qb to pair with the 150w qb to increase wattage for flowering (and still would like to increase...

    Quantum board led still on with timer off

    Hi guys, Here's the problem: I got a brand new qb 120w working really fine, but when the timer switches off, it still makes a very small light. When I pull the plug, the light turns off immediately. The problem appears anyway with 3 different timers, 2 analogs and 1 digital. It's so...

    F strips or HLG QB132?

    I'm torn between doing a build with samsung F strips and the HLG QB132. At first I thought it would be cheaper to go with F strips, but the heatsinks are making that not the case. I'd get 48 more diodes with the F strip build but the QB v2 have the newer chips... Seems like it makes more sense...

    Round 2! HLG Saber vs Amare SB800 RDWC

    Took awhile but I’m back to hydro. Got 8 cuts nicely rooted and they’re all pretty even. Same setup as before with the addition of 4 UVB bulbs. Last run I didn’t post exact weights because I feel I neglected HLG’s side a little more. But Amare won that round by about .5lbs and with the whole...

    HLG quantum boards 288v1 for $29

    Hello I’m wondering how I could run the 288v1 boards from HLG without heatsink. If I were to run them at 60watts a piece does anyone know what the least expensive driver would be for that scenario? So a 240watt driver. Kinda of looking for the qb132’s LRS-350 driver equivalent to the 288v1...

    MarsHydro TS1000??

    Im looking into upgrading my LED grow light from a 600w vivosun to a TS1000 from mars hydro. It only pulls 150 watts from the wall (about half of what the vivosun pulls) and is running a quantum board. It gets waaaay better coverage and would be almost half the cost in electricity and better...
