DIY with Quantum Boards

[Stephenj37826]

Is the QB 120 going to be restocked?

yes

 

[Stephenj37826]

Can this QB96 Elite V2 be used for both veg and flower? Is this spectrum good fo the whole cycle?

I would think so.

 

[Stephenj37826]

email HLG then & ask for suitable drivers for running 2 in parallel
(& if russian tank generator pedaled by blind donkey is suitable power source)

To run in parallel you will need to use A-type driver. So any 54-volt HLG series Meanwell will do.

glad that you are here

For maximum power and maximum efficiency?

For 1 light with 1 driver this HLG-185H-54

for 2 lights with 1 driver this HLG-320H-C2800B

I'll say it again, most distributors post a link to the driver data sheet. The data sheet is a very informative and everyone should download one for a driver they are considering. Don't place your bets on peoples guesses!

The data sheet says the HLG185H has a range of 48-58 volts. your good.

If only they put one less chip on the board. lol damn didn't see that +1V allowance. Good eye.

Only 11$ more. Jameco has a few options.

Not just datasheet, but application notes too....

Stephen, I think you will save yourself having to answer this question over and over if you guys upload a table showing different driver and panel combinations as well as one showing floor coverage options vs panels...

 

[pop22]

Then we just need to teach people to read it....... lol. How often do we answer questions here that have the answers already on HLG's QB section's data? Lots of good info on HLG's site!

A bit of work on his signature and we can whittle that down a little.

Have a quick question,

In a 4x4 tent is it better to have 4 qb288 or get 6 - 8 qb132s in there

 

[CoB_nUt]

More boards = better spread,coverage and adjustability(frame design dependant)
I have 8 qb120'a in my 4x4.

Gotta love those HYBRID COB /QB builds !

Peyote Blue throwing pistils and beginning stretch .....
Added the 630-660nm led ...

Pulled the WOOKIE to another area to flower and she’s stretching a bit too.
Thank god I didn’t do a larger “ bucket “ ( Hempy ) as it would have been much bigger plants and less room .

I was wondering when someone started using CSP LEDs in horticulture lights. Was testing some CSP LED boards at work and the intensity of them really surprised me. The HLG's elites seem really small which would be perfect for my tiny ass grows.

[edit] nvm they're apparently discontinued?

 

[pop22]

one has better spread, the other more ppf, its a tossup really

Electrify it before it escapes.............

Put the chains on it!!! Hang it up quick before it gets away!!!

How’s everyone’s micro grow going?

Great side lighting but i think this guy is looking to light his tent up wall to wall. Pretty sure those strips got some of the worst intensity levels of any lighting source currently used to grow canna. They are mostly for micro grows , so are QB's. Once you move more than 12 inches from them light levels are atrocious.

4x4 grow tent lighting best options are 1000w DE CMH with adjustable ballast, 600w hps with adjustable ballast, 1000w hps with adjustable ballast.
