Some QB pics

i've been sitting here with 4 quantum boards and a slate 5 ready to go for a couple weeks at least now ... but i misbudgeted for the drivers!! hopefully soon i'll be able to order some drivers, i really want to replace the blurple in my tent!!

btw, is there any cheaper alternatives than meanwell I can use?

Pairui drivers are cheaper but a bit less efficient and don't think there is the same choice of current as MW so that might play a factor on the QBs.. I run them on my cobs. But MW on my QBs because they came with the kit.

Looks like USPS dropped my box in a puddle and stepped on it a few times. It was soggy on the edge and even a little damp inside.

The board is unscratched though, and it fired right up without problems. Thanks for doing an excellent packaging job, guys at HLG.

I'm having trouble wiring my QB to the HLG600H 54B ballast, anybody have a diagram on how to wire the four boards in parallel with the two leads on the ballast?

I would like to run from underneath like it's meant to do I just run the wire up a little bit past the top of the board and solder up on top keeping my solder joints separate?

yes thats all you need to do
Cheers

@Budzbuddha @zypheruk i'm also planning on creating some fem seeds, however i am going to make my own colloidal silver from sterling. cost me about 30$ for the silver, batteries and alligator clips. i've seen people say only use 999 silver but im not consuming it so I think 925 will work for my purposes

 

[GuerrillaZar]

Can someone confirm if this is the correct wiring? I'm afraid of turning it on and burning out my QBs. Would hate to waste 700 bux

2 drivers and 2 parallel circuits?
