    QB132’s (x15) in a 4x4... 1050w LED light platform

    A veg box & a flower box are a def thing to think about in the future. I could remove 3 panels from this platform, leaving 12 boards in this 4x4.5 = 48w a sq foot. Then have 4 boards for a clone/veg box leaving the big box for flowering. What say you veteran growers ...?

    QB132’s (x15) in a 4x4... 1050w LED light platform

    Im a fng newbie, learning, wasting money, re-evaluating, making changes, more money, re-eval... rinse & repeat. I figure what doesn’t get returned to Home Depot will end up on “Let Go” or “Offer Up” type local garage sale aps. I did the same thing when I started brewing my own beer. I found a...

    QB132’s (x15) in a 4x4... 1050w LED light platform

    How much did this 4x4 light cost man? boards were $133 x 4 I think. Then the drivers, wire, etc was in addition. If I can produce good meds, it’s money well spent. Besides, I just got medical retired and need a new hobby to help keep me sane.... this $h!t is fun and I haven’t even really...

    Just connected the lights to my canoe hoist. Raised it up over my head to check from below. Over the 4’ she bends maybe 1/2 in. I may put in more supports & cross supports if it starts to annoy me.... time will tell.

    QB132’s (x15) in a 4x4... 1050w LED light platform

    HAHAHA...! I agree, grrrrr.... but there is method to my madness. My box is 4x4.5 each corner has a pillar 2x4 support. One corner (back left) has a tower fan to circulate air. So, in order to push the frame all the way out horizontaly I had to leave room for the vertical. Make sense...? I’m...
