Y a if hats the case, getting the drivers out is gonna be way beyond your ability right now maybe in a year or two if you keep learning

It is useful information for him to know. I think he's still looking for a new light.Y a if hats the case, getting the drivers out is gonna be way beyond your ability right now maybe in a year or two if you keep learning

Have to start somewhere. And appreciate all of your input. This is clearly something i need to educate myself rather then "plug and play". Tjank all of yoh for getting me down the right road, but i think i need to do my part and research. I will refer back to this thread when im a little more rounded on the topicY a if hats the case, getting the drivers out is gonna be way beyond your ability right now maybe in a year or two if you keep learning
Thanks!!

Hey I am also looking to upgrade my 3x3 tent. With regard to upgrading an existing light setup. Would it make sense to supplement existing lights with additional lighting or is it usually a better idea to replace a light with a more powerful one?

If you have the money then ditch the Blurple lights and buy new. Look for something that uses the LM301B/H LEDs by Samsung.

Harley I searched for weeks and decided on the Black Dog LED. You would need a 400W in a 3x3 area.
They've done their research and back up their lights with copious grow along videos where they top 1 gram per watt easily.
Here's a link to my thread where I'm highlighting the Black Dog and 4 strains I got from clone. Drop in and see if the thread answers any of your questions.

. I've got 4 clones - Blue Dream, Lemon Haze, OG Kush & Slurracane - from Onlineclones.ca, a Canadian clone provider. Delivery took 2 weeks from order, there is no communication between Onlineclones and their customers. Prices were $39 - $49 per clone plus $99 shipping. $270 for 4 strains...

I just switched from a Vipar for my new 3.25 x 3.25 JungleRoom tent. Hoping it will do the trick. Im not in the US though.
It seems that whatever you buy someone will say thats no good, you should build your own, truth is I got great results from scrogging with my Vipars.
Most LED heads say the QBs and HLG are the way to go so I thought I'd get what was available in my country.
Let us know which one you end up getting though.
Anyone know if you can switch out the components and upgrade these types of boards I am new to QBs?

OP: if youre still looking and your main problem is too much heat: 300w of led is allways going to heat somewhat but you can minimize this by using a system which dont have excessive differtnce in temperature visavi the environment.
This mean using more chips at less power, with sufficient heatsinking. Id rec something like the quantum boards or they chinese clones (if your budget is stretched) and run them at around 60w rather than 120w each, 4 instead of 2. This also means that the increased spread and efficiency means less watts in the tent, 240 driver or a 320 driver dimmed down. And of course keep the driver outside. Remember white leds like 81-84° aswell.
