DIY with Quantum Boards

1000ppm

Just wondering if the 4k will be the exact same size as the existing boards so I can start prebuilding a frame using my boards I have now as a template or if I should wait.
 
Just confirming some stuff here before purchasing (stay tuned for a grow journal).

Four of these should work with a HLG-320h-c2800b right? Two in series then parallel?

No all in parallel. You'll want the 1400 if you want to do it the way you listed above.
Hey i never got confirmation i will be safe and what my per board wattages will be using the hlg 240-c1750b and 2 xqb in parallel. Is this acceptable and safe to do with these? And someone mentioned it being 125w per board, can you confirm please?

The eagle has landed. These things are awesome! Thanks @robincnn and @Stephenj37826!
Just took these cuts of Underdog og out of the clone dome and transplanted them into 1 gallon pots. Will veg them 5 to 7 days so they can plant their feet, then flip. My goal is 30gr+ a plant.
Have the 320 driver on lowest setting pulling about 110w. Will go up to 200w when I flip.

Napalm interested to see how you do with them, I'm loving mine so far. Are you going to document this grow ?

Yes you'll be fine. It will be around 100 watts per board. You'll need (240)c1050(series)/c2100(Parallel) to fully utilize the driver.

@Stephenj37826 how much space would be needed above the heatsinks to still function? I'm trying to decide if building them into the roof is worth the extra carpentry.

For a 2x4x 2'h veg/herbs box with two qbs, how hard would you run them? I'm leaning towards the hlg240 with dimming, increased cost seems marginal considering the extra power available if needed. Is my thinking way off? I'm drawing a blank trying to work out ppf, unfortunately.

I'm hoping to be able to start/grow any plants I want to, recreational or otherwise. So I'm thinking the new spectrums (spectra ffs lol) would be my best choice, any idea? Would rather get it right the first time lol.

Would it be possible to run different colors on the same driver?
