Hi robin! Will these be available in any of the diy kits?

Is there going to be a slate six triple?

This run I'm using organic soil so only water in my res. I've run coco also and I only top feed once before I start the res. I turn on the res when the canopy is as wide as the pot.

Softer is better. Good voltage constant and run less amps. They get more and more efficient until they won't run at all.

As you can imagine, it gets more expensive because you then need more boards/chips/COBs but you'll get the payback in terms of less electricity usage and better light distribution.

OK, I understand, I'll have to start small and scale up as funds allow. So if I have to buy 1 board 1 driver which combo is the most efficient for 2 boards in a 3x2

Any part of a Grow area that is switched to higher efficiency lighting raises the efficiency of the whole. The cost per watt or par watt is much lower than it ever has been. There is no need to do all at once.

this kit would be perfect for a 3x2 grow space for both veg and flower

go with 3000k first if available or 3500k both would work well for your space

So an idea; get a big driver that will run several boards, start with one board on a dimmed setting and then add more boards in parallel as you get money.

@Stephenj37826 @robincnn what do you think of this approach?

are there 90 CRI lm561c chips? @Stephenj37826, any plans to offer 3000K 90 CRI boards in the future? seems like some folks are noticing better results with 90 CRI...

What do you think you've yielded?

If anyone is interested I need to sell my QB 288 260w kit , it has two 288 boards on a slate 3 but I will also include the small slate 2 as well.

UnFortunately I need to down size my grow operation. DM me, we can work out a deal.

Specs
288qb (two boards) 260w 4000k spectrum
Meanwell Driver
Slate 3 but will include slate 2 as well.

Extra absorbent Maxipad edition?

Slate 6 ...Extra heat absorbent. Great for keeping expensive parts cool for reliable operation

I have a last piece of Slate 1 maxipad. No more maxipads.

Currently 260,320 kits all series wiring of boards. trying to be consistent and keeping all kits in series wiring if possible.
We have been using only AZ Bin boards and parallel wiring is not an issue for now. However things may change in future as we try to increase production.

80 and 90
https://www.rollitup.org/t/quantum-board-qb-288-3000k-80-cri-vs-3000k-90-cri-show-down.941168/

End of Nov 2017. However 90 CRI will be more expensive. We may do a 80 +90 CRI on same board

First run with these boards is nearly over and I've gotta say I'm converted. regular girls are denser, frostier, louder in smell.
