DIY with Quantum Boards

[Budzbuddha]

Check this out .... I pulled a smaller plant out because i'm getting short on space ....
She is still within light footprint ( fringe ) and is still happy.
I placed her just outside and she STILL IS PRAYING to the QB PANEL.

We might call it slate 1.3
Slate 1 design. 3 boards per heatsink.
14.75x3 = 44.25
+/- 10% based on cost
We will try our best to offer at 39.75 + shipping

I would take 2 heatsinks with the 6 boards that i have coming

This one little board seems to be comparable to a 400 or even a 600 HPS with a decent bulb but it seems to be throwing of better nodes than an HPS. This is crazy.

Seems like it would have a footprint close to a 400 but it seems brighter than my cheapo Apollo 600/bulb

I was thinking about a 400 HPS but I doubt a 400 HPS with even a Hortilux bulb could be that effective. That little QB board is crushing it.

Which way are you going to power them? I was thinking similar, one driver (320-1400) for all 6 @ .46a / 48w a board.

You could do 2 HLG 185s and keep the two fixtures independent.

At first glance it looked like a barbecue grill! I think it's just black painted fencing material.

Mmmaybe, I am still in planning stages. Probably will want min-dim 700ma for this tent. I have a 60x31x80 for perpetual auto. Will take all advice though, I have like 12 sheets of scribble paper that I keep staring at.

My 2 board setup running 100W-150W in a 2x2 has plenty of throttle to crush this space. These are not some novel supplemental side lighting.

Plant update - Blue Dream - Gorilla Glue and Bubble Bomb

QB is killin it .... My plants act like they were on steroids. Intense growth filling up tent .
Had to move out a smaller candy dream because of leaves blowing up.

The Quantum Board Refit is doing extremely well for a SINGLE panel build.
So very happy with this design.

Buds are nugging up and GG is preflower / Bubble is still vegging and stocky.
I LST those to to let more PHOTON GOODNESS IN.

Budz how many watts are you pushing on that one board ?

My tower fan is vertical and white. They work well. I have 4 panels running at ~85w each on 2 plants. Just heading towards 3 weeks flip. So far so good.

As unbelievable as this is gonna sound ... I am only running 50watts .
I am using one of the original 6 drivers that were in the Mars Hydro.
(50 W - 100v - 550ma ) which actually works fabulously. I have 5 left and basically use them on some future builds.
