DIY with Quantum Boards

Ok,so what driver do I need, for the millionth time???

If you only want 240w for the four of them, probably what pj diaz said. If you wanna wire in parallel that is.

If you want series, 240w for the four of them you'd want HLG-240H-C1750. It's in the list pj linked.

Edit: added.

Yep, I just prefer to keep my DC voltages low, which is why I ope for parallel. Getting zapped with over 100V is never fun, but it's especially shocking to get a big DC zap vs AC.

I see today that HLG has the single/double Diablo board and heatsink combos for sale again, as well as the 260 watt and 320 watt DIY kits.

This caveat (probably common knowledge in these parts by now) is listed near the top of each product page: "THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT AND IS SOLD AS IS," and "WIRING THIS BOARD IN REVERSE POLARITY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE BOARD."

I wish they would add 132 B spec and Rspec options. Also the supplemental light strips qb11s.

NEVER JUMP IN THE POOL IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM IS THE LESSON I'VE LEARNED FROM THIS...

Me too, man. There's an hlg1000 Rspec I think. And that one australian distributor has some with added red and blue.

Yea, maybe walk in once you've identified the shallow end, and learned a bit about the concept and aspects of swimming. Get some waterwings or a friend who can swim to 'spot' you.
You can't learn to swim on land, you can only learn about it.

I've got 8 Diablos, great boards!

How do the Diablos flower ? Similar spectrum as 288v2rspec have you run this also ?

I went from QB 304 to the Diablos. Flowering time on two strains was about 5 days quicker. Good solid buds I just had an excellent harvest. I'm very pleased with these lights. Why I can't say, could be the deep red, could be the 1100 PPFD!

qb132 boards wired in series can be mixed spectrum right? Just wanna double check.

Should be fine in series since everything is additive.

I posted my question hoping someone like PJ Diaz would help me with a quick answer. Thanks dude.

Quantum Time :

Plants are finally mainlined for last of veg weeks / bottoms cleaned up. 2 of the Strawberry Diesel ( Hazeman Seeds ) Strawberry Cough x Strawberry Diesel plants were transplanted and those will also get some STS on a branch or 2 when they are ready.
Apparently that strain is “ out of stock “ for god knows how long , so why not make some seeds ? Save some money...

Also , got one runt / ready to toss seedling ( Full Moon Fever ) Durban Poison x Stardawg that hasn’t really grown as compared to other cups . ( which were all popped at same time ) .... so will look for another seed to pop maybe something different. Put those baby cups on risers for now.

Quantum running fine , no issues.

Cuz that one runty shit of a seedling is getting executed .

Quantum seed making .........

2 cups 1 strain solo seed project. KKP ( KING KONG POISON ) Durban Poison x GG4
Each cup 12/12 start .... 1 cup sprayed twice day for fem pollen , other untouched fem.

CS solo will be the “ pollen donor “ , other the “ seed momma “. Pods have formed and both plants are equal in growth , with Fem solo starting preflower. Both are under QB 304 ( 3500k ) boards ( risers for height as I have quantums height set for other plants ).
I will add a pinch of dry fert for “ seed momma “ as cup medium is starting to exhaust. Got to keep her happy for at least 6 weeks.

Once CS plant does her pollen chuck , it will be tossed or some pollen saved ..... want to cross a blue dream with this strain.
Thinking the Blue Dream Sativa would be a no brained for a stout Sativa like Durban .

Looks like a fun project!

Finally putting together my second Diablo light! I'll get it wired and hung tomorrow.
