My LED/QB 288 build.

[Aolelon]

Hey, So I just wanted to post my LED strip and QB 288(x2) build.. It was extremely easy and figured I would make this post to show others that with just a little time and some knowledge with a drill and measuring you can build a pretty kick ass light.

I am using [URL='https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/kits/products/260w-qb-led-kit/']2 QB 288 boards (bought from HLG)[/url]
and [URL='https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SI-B8V521560WW/1510-2221-ND/6624005?utm_medium=email&utm_source=oce&utm_campaign=1069_OCE18RT&utm_content=productdetail_US&utm_cid=467435&so=54389211&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWldZeVlUQmlNR0V6WVRsayIsInQiOiJUNDdweEo4VW9OdW5zZ1kyXC9ydXlkeG9wekpMMzRzYjZTcnlCd2hJZGZXQmpHakR0ampWQWYrdURsXC9TXC9pRGU3b3ljQjNqdkNQbVY1VmxvMzRlNVI5ZlpyZWdreU9VUno5azNnTDUrWW5BeEFXNDdEaUtlRDVUZUZDWWJVbWI0YyJ9/']2 Samsung F-Series Strips[/url]
4 Ft of Heatsink
And some 3/4" angle iron from Home Depot.

I am growing in a 2.5 x 4' tent. I only plan on growing maybe 4 plants at a time so I really think this will put out some light.

Added 5 5w far red 730nm diodes ro get the emerson effect. Should do the job for me.

Why did you put QB's in the middle and not simply put led strips all over?

Because I had the 2 qb288s first and didnt want to do a whole strip build. Needed more light so I added 2 f-series strips

Planned on using UV for months but never did it. I was the one who actually found these lamps and brought them to the RIU community. Have you seen any difference or is it still too early to tell?

I havent started using it yet. Going to wait until I'm closer to flowering.
