2 packs of Bison Breath 22 seeds. 22 seeds germinated ( some within 18 hrs ). Born on Halloween night. There were 2 stragglers but only a day behind. A few seeds needed some surgery/help but all in all easy seeds to germinate. 3 Vancitygrower Pink Kush S1 are accompanied. My plants this round...

The aluminum rail looks pretty solid. You may be better off rethinking. Unless you really want strips that would be pretty cumbersome to install and remove for cleaning. You would have a tough time knocking your head on that raising your head out of the canopy, unless you hung it really high...

Installed those qb96e triples with 2 far red on each of the fixtures. I just need a driver or some drivers for the FR. Thinking of running 2 APC 12 700 or 2 APC 16 700. I am thinking the second option.. Any input? perhaps the first option would run cooler and more appropriate since there is no...

Angle aluminum is easy. If you can find 1/2 inch rigid enough it would work good. I have 3/4" angle and i notched out to about 1/2 inch so I could slide the boards into a structure as you see. I just rebuilt the 2 double fixtures to be triple as you see in pic 2. As doubles, I measured out the...

@Budzbuddha How do you like that reflective lining? It looks like you opted for that instead of tent wall. I was thinking about building a small space and wasn't sure what to line it with. White gloss paint, panda film, some of that what you have used.. or perhaps that insulation bubble type...

@Frank Nitty Proceed with caution if buying "Quantum Boards" from resellers. HLG had a list of authorized sellers on their website, I do believe. As well we all know 1/2 the boards from Alibaba are called "Quantum boards".

@Frank Nitty why don't we ask @Stephenj37826 if HLG has any QB304 on the back shelf still. Perhaps they still have a few kicking around.

Check out the link. I use HLG 240h C2100a for 2 qb288 in series https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/pages/qb288-board-guide

I have purchased from Amazon and their website. My first purchase from Amazom I got a board with a string of lights out. Took a pic and I contacted hlg and they took care of it ( just be carefull who your buying from as everyone wants to be "quantum board" ). They let me keep the defective board...

Back in early sept they had QB132 V2 4000K for $100 on Amazon. I could believe my eyes. I put them in my cart as I didn't want to pull out the cc card until all was safe. By 10pm cart raided and "unavailable"

Looks like a slate 6 heatsink. Those are beast. I was sent 8 of them when I initially ordered. Blue anodized. They are like double the weight+ than slate 2. Perhaps with the V2's they were overkill.

Same here last run. dial the lights back or raise the light. I knew I had an issue when the nicest looking plant was in the corner with least light.

Picking a driver is harder than one would think. Its nice to consider adding a 3rd board to the 320 54a. I think CC drivers are safer from TR...I do believe. I am doing some changes myself. I currently have 4 - 185 54a drivers on 4 qb96e's. I a just ordered 2 more qb96e and will be running 2...

I bought 4000k 120's since I am using mainly for veg and keeping mom's alive'

I will probably build the cabinet a little higher. A lot going through head on a redesign. Probably be thinking about it for days and change my mind a few times :neutral:

I was thinking about veg, and possibly use for a week or 2 of flower and move into a larger tent w/3000k 288's and qb96e's. I think the 3500K would be a good in between for transition. I allready have 2 older qb96 4000k strips for clones/seedlings. I am not really restricted by height as the...

I am just about to pull the trigger on 4 of these qb120 in a 20-24" x 4' x3' h space for veg and early flower. Just struggling on the colour of either 3500k or 4000k. I was thinking 3500 ( a bit better for flower still good veg ) but 4000k better for limiting stretch. Any input is appreciated

If your driver is older consider getting a back up. Especially if your garden in important as most are. Drivers will fail, especially if they are running hard and hot. Since yours was flickering is enough to consider. I always think about redundancy when putting together a fixture. For instance...

Megacrop V1 and Sweetcandy and some GP Massive in which was left over from my last regime. I have their Version 2 Megacrop V2.5, Sweet Candy, and Bud explosion in which I will start using next. I also use some Cal Mag/ Epsom salts but will stop with the V2. THe little bit of silty product...

Between Growmau5, Led Gardener. and this thread is all in info you need to make you "armed and dangerous". I forgot about those video's on the hlg website, there "golden". These guys have great personalities for live/recorded material. I would make a debauchery of a video like that...lol
