@Gerfish welcome aboard. Im on uk420 as tokenroll, so you have landed on the right thread here.
Hiya doing @zypheruk
Been here for a while, just never posted 8-)
I'm just interested in growing "Weed Without Drama" and no matter where you go these days it seem's tempers are frayed.
It becomes a nightmare trying not to step on peoples toes if you hold a contrary opinion to the majority.
Or maybe I attach too much importance to courtesy.
A function of age I guess?
That being said my "Internet Rhino Skin" pills are working better these days
so I shall continue on my little journey, taking only the good vibes on the way :wink:

Been lurking your threads for a while @lukio :clap:
its all a complete blag!

i'm having a lil break/move/travel but still keep finding myself loitering around here!

UK based @diyled sells pre made kits, i'm sure he'll sort you out and help with any q's regarding the "build" if you do decide on going for led (you totally should (: ) better light uniformity and higher efficiency is a pretty sweet deal. Be warned though, it's an absolute rabbit hole!

OR grab some quantums from HLG or even something like these from alibaba if you arent too fussy, theres probs not much difference to be honest...like 8% efficiency? anyone? i might be wrong

I've been looking at some of the cheap Chinese stuff and indeed CMH.
Coming into the warmer months now and running 600w in a DR90 is no longer an option :razz:
The good thing is that prices seem to be a bit more realistic these days, and more choices finally - in CHM anyway.
And thanks for the info ...

thanks alot to @Moflow for sharing this. i was waiting on affordable quantum boards for big space, i don't care about lm561b+ or C whatever as long as it's efficient as this.
everything is made in china these days and companies really take us for retards. hlg included. i'm just gonna order drivers\wires from eu as suggested for safety.

hope this type of deals is going to make prices drop.

much love

edit : "Proudly made in USA" :lol::lol:

i can't find any samsung factory in usa...so let me resume :

all the hype is based on a super product inside a box. this super product is actually made in china, what is made in USA is the box only :lol:

"Proudly assembled in USA" and yet, assembled by factory bot, bot that is probably from china too :lol:

true....... but find me a another pre-fab board where you're almost guaranteed to get the same chips/ mcpcb/electrical connections/etc=== purchase after purchase with no unadvised alterations(cost cutting) down the road? you know, the ones you can recommend to the masses and such;)..............I'll wait
