Great thread! Haven't put my board to use yet, good to see you build and grow! If you need any help with your autos, pm me, I've grown 60-70 strains of them. I'm not against bottled nutrients, but I have ZERO problems with them in organic and I've harvested up to 13oz dry from 1 plant, in organic soil.

Just some more pics of the little autos. They are lowryders and I'm not expecting a great deal out of them. The smaller one on the left I popped first but needed a lot of care to sprout. You can see the leaves praying to the light "they never did this with the Mars"

The 120 usb fan is just to give the plants some air movement outside of the intake. I did get a small heater to place in the closet where the grow tent is. I have it hooked up to a Johnson controller with the probe inside the tent, I can dial in the temps now.

Due to the light the color is off on the camera. I may have to play around with the settings.

Your ladies look good! Lowryder isn't a bad strain, not the highest thc around for sure but decent. a lot of auto crosses use Lowryder as the auto base. If you want to try some badass auto, get some from either Sweet Seeds or Mephisto, ALL there strains kickass I love Sweet Seeds Green Poison and their TrainWreck. Mephisto's Alien vs Triangle will pound your brains out!

@pop22 right on ! I placed a decent order with Nirvana just to get me started. The autos were a "what the hell" in the order just so I could get something going while building out my grow area and dialing it in. I have Papaya , Mango skunk, White widow, AK-48 on deck "fem photo period". More than likely grow one plant at a time, maybe clone to keep a good pheno going. My usage is less than 1/4 a month as it helps me tone down the pills I take. One good harvest and I could shut down for a few months lol. I plan on starting my vegies for the deck and maybe cloning/starting a few bushes/shrubs/flowers that have good genetics I like for planting. Its not so bad since the meter isn't spinning off the wall .

Keep us updated with the autos, interested in how much they yeld.

Though iirc lowryders aren't high yielding strains even for autoflowers.

now that cvost is going down and efficiency is going up, I think I'm ready to do a veggie or two indoors Going to see how just one Quantum board does for a small strain of tomato, Indigo Rose.


I use it for pain and my lady has MS. I've been making coconut canna oil for three years for capsules

I would think two boards end to end could simulate a t5 setup good for veg

Something like this for $103? I wonder if any of our vendor advertisers sells these/
Mean Well USA DRP-480-48

I am thinking 4 of these in a frame might equal a 1000 watt HPS. Timber's COB framework kits are pretty close in price when all is said and done.

Board voltage is over 100 so constant current driver is needed. 2 HLG 240H C2100s on 4 boards actively cooled does rather well and does seem to give similar par levels to a 1000 HPS. Final wattage draw being 580-600 watts.
