and heatsinks are pricey!!

i wouldn't be the one to ask about how many for what driver, youll find plenty of help in the LED section. Electronics is not my thing, i had someone help me when i built my lights.

You can get the driver on Digikey too. And as for heatsinks they arent needed, just use aluminium angle as they are enough to dissipate the heat. cheap and cheerful

What kinda setup ya thinkin of runnin? Soil or hydro? I grow organic in soil using plagron and guanokalong dry ammendments. Im also a 'budget grower' but my top tip would be invest in a good light, building led setups can save money here, but lights literally the life of the plant. I messed about with cfls, energery saver led rigs, wish brand leds, they all suuuuuuuucked! Been using homemade cobs for veg and a borrowed hps for flower (upgrading that to quantum boards soon) with much better results!

My advice, is use the biggest grow light out there which is free..... The sun..!
Try it with feminized autos and a few grow bags from the garden center..
The rest is common sense th

Just the 220 for the boards, they come ready to use but I didn't wanna hang 4 individually plus 2 drivers so I mounted em onto frames I built from a scrap fluorescent light. they pack a serious punch!
