DIY with Quantum Boards

When my box of panels came, it had a bright green cannabis leaf on the top, on one side was a massive picture of a bud, the other side said cannabis grow lights enclosed. The packing slip had a sniff and scratch card in it, but some cunt had already scratched it off, so the whole package stank of weed. When I opened the box it was amazing this 16ft plant just appeared in front off me ready to harvest fucking amazing. So don't panic the package is perfectly fit for purpose.

Hi, does anybody know how discreetly HLG ships and what the return address says? I'm worried about a package arriving from Horticulture Lighting Group. Also, I'm a little worried that the package for a slate 2 triple will look suspicious. Thanks!
Got my shipment in a discreet brown box. Nothing that could be compromising to a grower in a non-friiendly state.

Hi, does anyone know what type/size screws are required for the slate 2 double and slate quad heatsinks? What pitch/thread type?
Thanks

Quantum - Tangerine Dream- KomaKush

Tangerine Dream just moving into week 4 of flower ... Quantum ( 3500k 4 panel ) with
2 COBs ( 3500k ) .

Been getting back to more heat this week in sunny Cali. Temps are still pretty manageable ( 87 ish ) with just oscillating fans , still no reason FOR ME to go get AC.

Watering is around every 2 days or so , and plants are doing pretty good.
Tangie is getting some fading started but not too concerned as she is still up taking watering and feed on a regular schedule.

KomaKush is getting her pubes and started to do her stretch.
She will be moved in a week or so to give her more space.

Great looking plants. Do you supplement with any other light in addition to 3500k ? Always keep hearing about needing extra red...

Mine came with an ounce of Kauai Electric.
Maybe added red is more hype than necessity. Have not seen where there is much of yield
increase. Saturation of photons on plant surface with range between 2700-4000k seems to suffice in flowering.

A bank of candles will 'suffice'; that's not a high bar.

Optimizing spectrum for the task while maximising efficiency is the goal. That's rather more specific and involved, wouldn't you say?

Far-red before lights-on and after lights-out is shown to promote faster maturity by a week.
15 minutes before and 15 minutes after is enough?
So with the storm controller id have everything delayed by 15minutes and keep the far reds without a delay?
