My 8hr flowering experiment

I asked robin and he basically said I could fuse it if I wanted too.
Seemed like a good idea to me but apparently not necessary.
I think I'm going to look into fusing it for an extra level of safety.

Think I'm going to design it so the driver could be mounted on the frame or removed from the frame if necessary. Wire is fairly cheap

I have diligently tried to make all of my modules fully interchangeable. This way I can cheaply cannibalize and keep the maximum number running.

It's come in very handy. I have 53 modules and have been able to cannibalize enough to keep at least 48 running.

Sux that you even have to but handy that you can
Well I expected it. I'm running water cooled units and that's a big step towards the bleeding edge from where most people go. I expected some units to quit and now I know why they did.

I'm building a 54th unit so I can run 3 modules per trellis panel times 6 panels per rack times 3 racks even.

Lol I'm running less total wattage then your fans lol

No race on delivery of parts.
Came home to the driver being here sitting on my front step.
Arrow electronics is no joke.
Packing slip even says ordered feb2
Crazy
Been like 30hrs since I ordered it.
Wish all deliveries had that kind of turn around

Quantum boards are assembled and on.
Was good to have a few quiet days to do some actual work.
I'm 100% sure I waited to long to flip any of these but too late to cry about it now.

I'll post pics soon as I can but there's a couple that I have pretty high hopes for. A couple ssh X ds and atf X ssdd are some of the nicest plants I've had in a long time.

Getting a bit nervous
Been waiting on an order from Great Lakes genetics for over a week.
Been at Chicago customs since Wednesday.
Still don't understand why it had to go Michigan to Michigan to Chicago to come north.

I'm not going to go into it too much but so far I'm super impressed with the growth already after two days with the qb's.
I'll be ordering 2 more and building another light for the tent.
Total cabinet wattage including fans is below 300

Good luck, hope it gets through for you, I haven't ordered anything from outside the country since last fall so no idea whether they've tightened up checks or not. Good news is I've only ever had one shipment seized out of maybe 30, just got a note from customs in the mail a few weeks after it was supposed to arrive. That was about 2 years ago, never heard anything after that.

Nice, small footprint with lots of photons, nothing wrong with that. Keeping an eye on these QB's for some potential expansion...

Drag boat Jeff wasn't the friendliest nor easiest to converse with but he says its normal and can take up to a month to clear customs.
I just hope they don't all show up smashed to dust.
It was a fairly large order too.

And the qb's are worth it.
I'm not pulling out the Pom Poms and becoming a cheer leader but with what I've already seen I will order 2 more.

Glg order arrived and I popped
4 dream beaver
4 space monkey
4elfinstone
4 more cowbell
All are in 1 gal pots now and will be topped more then once.
Quantums are in the flowering cabinet and are working awesome.
Had 3 of 6 plants show male so I had to throw in more plants.
