HLG 550v2 - VS - Alibaba light

Well still waiting on drying before I begin my trim.

As I stated above -based on bud looks alone you can’t tell the difference unless you look at the plant tags....Stoked to set up my next run this weekend, went and upgraded my feeding system to a floraflex set up.

Pretty stoked to say the least.

Pic updates to come later

Hi Doug, thank you for this thread.

New to this forum and new to growing as well (grew some outside but never Indoors).

I'm a medicinal patient out of the Netherlands.
I was following this thread for some time and made the decision to order some quantum boards as well.

Ordered them in the weekend and once they arrived I will finish my growing space and start a journal.

Please let me know your honoust thoughts about the Ali baba boards?

Thanks!

That’s great to hear - I have no cimplants whatso ever. Side by side the quality is there - density - trichomes density. For people trying to save $300 per light this adds up quickly.

Thanks for tuning in.

Dry weight was 432 grams of medicine

Do u know how many watts per sq ft he is running? Getting 2-3 gpw at 45-50watt per sq ft is obviously big difference from 2-3 gpw at 20-25 watts per sq ft.

Lmc561c Version1 boards, there are now boards with lm301b and extra reds now.
A great bargain buy in my opinion.

So the lmc561c diodes are the older version?

Ok that confirms what I had thought. I just ordered a kit from aliexpress...120w top bin lm301b 4000k/660nm mix with heatsink, meanwell driver and hanging hardware for 122USD with free shipping.

I’m pretty stoked on part of my room upgrade before my next run - the table on the right is set up using floraflex - pretty dope system.

Hoping to flower mid of Jan when the left table is converted as well.

2.5/3 G per w on 480 W LEDs? Maybe LEDs as a supplement in a green house? a"5" months veg... prolonged bloom! possible

@thewinston never came up with anything to back up his story.
So probably all BS.

veg duration is irrelevant to yield. It's only relevant to reduce plant count. Lots of plants per m2=short veg. Few plants per m2=long veg. Yield will be the same.
