Looking gooood man!I bought the hlg qb288 v1 4 each and a hlg 240 48a on advice from this forum. Put it all together today and installed in the tent. Wow so much more light then the 2 300 burples.

That's darn inexpensive, I guess that's just for boards, no drivers, ect...can I ask where you sourced them? thanks. There should be a DIY light thread, but I guess this is it.I bought the hlg qb288 v1 4 each and a hlg 240 48a on advice from this forum. Put it all together today and installed in the tent.

There’s an HLG DIY sponsored thread, this ones just for the half pricers. As much as people can talk down on Chinese products, just remember the iPhone is built in Shenzhen as well as our LED boards. Don’t doubt the country, doubt the company.That's darn inexpensive, i guess that's just for boards no drivers, ect...can i ask where you sorced them? thanks.

Oh I didn't know about the HLG thread and I'm in the half pricers club, I use them too, got three of them and I know most of them are equal to many of the more expensive lights.There’s an HLG DIY sponsored thread, this ones just for the half pricers.

The 4 boards with shipping from hlg 128.00 the hlg driver 240 48 a from eBay 68.00 shipped. I got the alum. Plate for free. The only reason I posted in the knock off forum is this is where I got the advice to build this.That's darn inexpensive, I guess that's just for boards, no drivers, ect...can I ask where you sourced them? thanks.

Which boards did you end up going with?The 4 boards with shipping from hlg 128.00 the hlg driver 240 48 a from eBay 68.00 shipped. I got the alum. Plate for free. The only reason I posted in the knock off forum is this is where I got the advice to build this.
I believe its the hlg v1s that are on a real nice discount right now. 29 per 288, lm561c diodes. Pretty darn good, i have seen very little difference between 561 and 301.Which boards did you end up going with?
The qb 288 v1Which boards did you end up going with?
Please include a budget and full info on your space: 5x5, tent or openspace, what height? if tent access thru what sides? Cooling, vented or ac/sealed?, whats your climate like? Cold winters means heating during winter if your vented. Growing only flower or full cycle? Autos or photo period?Hi boys
I would like to know what kind of lights I should buy and which meanwell driver I should combine them with.
i would also like to integrate red stripes but which should i buy?
and last but not least
My tent is 5x5 feet. Should I grow Hydropinic or Aeroponic? I will have about 800 watts.
600 watts will be warm white and 200 watts red. I want to be able to dim the red ones separately.
I would spend about 600 € for the lights and 300 € for a hydro or aero setup.Please include a budget and full info on your space: 5x5, tent or openspace, what height? if tent access thru what sides?

And time frame? China is on full stop atm, if youre in a hurry maybe hlg or similar is adviceable.

Lol
Have you got access to cheap aluminium, sheets or u-channel cut to size? For autos id say youre way overpowered, they get 50-75% more time in the light per day so its another strategy. Also if you grow under lower light levels its a good idea to look more closely at spectrum.I would spend about 600 € for the lights and 300 € for a hydro or aero setup.
the tent is 5x5x6.5
i wanted to grow automatic plants
i have a climate control device on the wall that keeps the room at the desired temperature
yes i would like to import and assemble from china
last time i had a lot of fun doing that too.
