Dubbed : The WARP CORE

View attachment 4228536



2 QB 96 with 2 Sunblaster T5 HO nanotech lamps .

They WILL be running an AGROMAX UV and a 10000k FINISHER bulb.
2 foot bulbs .

They came with 2 6400k bulbs which in turn can be used ALONE for new starts , seedlings
OR for added BLUE to QB. This thing pretty much designed itself. Nanotech lamps will have one daisy chain connector and might make switched.

QB will be powered by
  • HLG-320H-C2800
  • Type B
  • Remote mount / remote dimmer

T5 AgroMax also has a VEG/UV that I might grab for experimenting.
So I will be able to run these combinations ...

UV ( only )
10000k ( only )
—————-
Dual 6400k
—-————
QB 96 elites ( only )

This will later on be the CENTER MODULE of a 4 panel QB288 3000k cri 90 set.
I already have the 4 so I will use them on a HLG-600H-54 also type b ( dimmer ).
No optics will be used. 24” between QB ... these also may get the quick disconnect harness I did on one of my original builds that had release for dimmer control and driver. So I can drop the core for straight 4 panel QB grows and using CORE for a supplemental in any other room or area.

Obviously this may be a little much but with the flexibility of running the core solo , or QB panels alone or in multiple configurations and power levels. The UV component will definitely have to have a short interval timer and have to get some eye protection. So experimenting will be done.

Apparently for a bump in resin production at last few weeks or thru entire run. This spectrum is also available for cmh rigs and others. But at a higher cost . Agromax made one to fit T5 Ho lamps and it only cost $8 so it was a no brainer to include or replace with another uv or different spec like agromax SuperVeg.

I believe hortilux makes them too but left hps / mh years ago.

Got it! Makes sense now. May have to pick one up then. Do you run another prior to the last few weeks ?

FINALLY...... got a QB 324 up and running in my small tent, along with 2 Auto Cobs from cobshop.net. QB is running on an HLG185H-C1050b with no dimmer, so about 130 watts. The cobs are 55 watts each.

32 watts per sq.ft. Probably more than I need but we'll see! Doing a mini SOG, 36 plants in .75L pots, strain is Black Dragon

Been thinking about a mini SOG myself... about to take some clones. What are the dimensions of your space?

I want to build a quantum setup and not purchase something prebuilt. Trying to maximize how far my money goes. I want to build a setup to flower a 3x3 but not break the bank.

Does anyone know if a place to buy the components of good quality for a good price.

Smoke report ?
Click to expand...
The cookies and chem is amazing to smoke, everyone keeps hitting me up asking if i have more. Has that gassy taste to it. The aurora indica is good as well, smell is amazing. The super lemon haze turned out a bit weird look wise, but the taste and the high is there.

I have the 260 watt kit which is plenty power for a 3x3 however that being said i don't like the spread so much and feel like im always shifting my pots around trying to get them up under it closer.

For a budget build with quality components id just use @Humple s build

https://www.rollitup.org/t/my-diy-4xqb120-flowering-light.950325/

About the same wattage but with a much nicer spread and cheaper.
