@ttystikk "a fantastical story verging on JRR Tolkein" its almost that strange! i hope you sort it dude.

@Madmungo nice one, where from? how many watts? jus build plug n play, man! watch out for bleaching
I'm in the southeast of England, I've been admiring your work with the BM's and Q boards, I have GOD's, 3590's and D paps which I love, rehomed my gavitas (too hot) and was looking for first hand advice on the boards, just purchased 2x 260 kits.

Really it's what they compare to coverage and yield wise, hanging distance, how do they effect nutrient uptake,
Anything you can think of really.

I have, but it's almost info overload, threads can also end up getting disjointed and contradictory so just some simple pointers would be helpful.
The first biggest problem is one of inventory vs demand; the new, bigger shipment sold out in 5 minutes.

They're an incremental improvement over COB LED.

They use the same drivers.

They don't need as much cooling because they're bigger and shed heat over a larger area.

Hey guys, Cheers @ttystikk Gawwwd HLG have created a monster huh! waited til 2am to be shafted by their site again lol. Ordered 700w of ChilLed instead...!

@Madmungo Thanks dude :) i havent finished a grow with them and im under all sorts of different light but theyre pretty straight forward, dude. i run RO water and go heavy on calmag, canna coco nutes at 1.3 ec. same as ever, no change really. i dont buy the led deficiency thing - i think its colder temps that ruin people when they change from hid.

They're doing their best.

Agreed on the temps thing.

So they're better than the lighting I'm currently using and there's not much else to concern myself about? Sounds great.

I was initially going to buy the HLG550 but it just seemed expensive next to the boards.
If they are as good as you're saying they'll totally change the market, why would anyone buy anything else?

No diary mate, I'm just too lazy/busy for that
I move between the a12 and the a21 junctions of the m25
I'd be happy to share any of my experiences with the boards once I have them tho.
