I will go pickup heatsinks tomorrow noon. Kits will be listed once i check the shipment. There is enough and i don't think they will sell out in a day.
Dont want to take pre orders until i receive heatsinks.

Dang. Nice pics. I have a feeling that when the new board comes out and growmau5 videos hit that you and Stepen will need No Doze to keep up with the business. Thanks for your efforts. I can't wait to see the two board rig/

Quick question guys, I'm currently running two 250w 3k kits in my flower tent, now I'm ordering another 250w kit, would adding some 4k be of any advantage in the flower tent. I plan on running the kits at lower power.

yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy Rollitup is back!

My Quantum boards are up Thanks @robincnn and @Stephenj37826

I was wondering if Lux divided by 70 is accurate from my crap mobile camera app. Should i just buy a lux meter?

Been wondering how everyone is getting on with theirs ?

Thanks
@Stephenj37826 with 2 x 250watt kits no optics in flower room in a scrog what would be the best distance to keep the panels from canopy and also the ideal power setting for the 2 panels. Don't what to fry the girls, and I'm sure others would benefit with some info on this.
Cheers

There is such a thing as too much light via not enough canopy/plants. I'm in a 2x2.5 tent "5sq ft" and find 100w veg and up to 150-175w flower plant and canopy dependent.

I'm doing a one plant Scrog atm "should have done 2" and just flipped to flower. I pulled 7oz from the two autos I test ran with no training and the results are staggering. Mind you this was at 100w veg and 125w flower.

With this new grows denser canopy I will ramp up the wattage/intensity through flower as needed, nice to know we can do that.

So with 4 panels using a combined 300watts at 24inches of canopy should be ample?

And were back!! These boards have changed things in my grow. I'm going the sog route in a 3x3. The coverage and intensity at 120 watts is hard to believe. Plants are healthy, more trichs on fan leaves and not fighting for light like my last grow either.

How many plants and what size pots are you going to use. I would image sog with single colas will be excellent.

12" is OK

 

[brewbeer]

@robincnn If I hit your site on the 15th will these be sold out? Are you taking reserve/pre-orders?

Glad I was prompt on the 15th - boards all gone by the 16th. Delivery today!

Start at 12 , I make a fist and from my fist to elbow is about 18in and they like it there ! It's a balance between distance and how intense your running.

I bumped my wattage up to 240w on day 31 and the panels are a mere 1 to 3" away from the tops and they all look fantastic. Start at 5" and adjust accordingly.

Hi All,

I am currently an LED grower but VERY eager to try these new QB's.

I am in the UK and finding it very hard to get all the bits and pieces together therefore is there anyone in the UK who has a ready made unit(s) who is prepared to sell?

I know it is a long shot but if you do not ask you will never know.

Just order from northerngrowlights there is no problem getting the kit sent. You will not buy this kit anywhere else.
I know there is two people on here from uk using them.

I'm doing both clones and 12/12 from seed, more than likely will be 2-3 gallon pots

 

[Ledbear]

Is there any basic starter guide or Video series over QB boards similar to grow mau5 or some God light wizard?
