Can anyone help me figure out the cheapest but good light i could get or build for a 2x3 tent? I would do one plant from seed. maybe 2 eventually if all goes well. I was thinking about this right now let me know what you think
2 x QB288 Quantum Board (V1 – Samsung 561C)$37 each
HLG-240H-C2100B $64
slate 1 heatsink $18 each

Are there any other things I could replace some of those things with to make it cheaper or anything? This is my first grow and I'm trying to figure all this lighting out. Thanks

Yeah you can swap the HLG240 for a XLG240-h-ab or XLG240-M-ab which will save you a chunk.

do you have a volt meter? the driver does that when its either over voltage or over current. Check the voltage it may need to be adjusted up. Could be a defective driver also.

I have the same exact setup but when I try to crank the wattage past 260, the lights start flickering and the driver buzzes loudly.

Anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

He has the exact same equipment as me and mine doesn’t do it no matter how I adjust the output.

One Diablo Board: 648 LM301H + 18 LH351H 660nm Deep Red Diodes

Are we buying boards from Satanists? LOL

Edit: I just remembered what day it is today. They wouldn't do that to us, would they?
