[Raesunrae]

Ahhhh I see! Thanks boatguy! I was going to be really embarrassed if it was right there in front of me! I'll definitely give you all likes when I'm able.

Hey All,

Another quick question please...I had planned 18/6 with the cheaper lights I had originally purchased. Should I do the same with the v1's? I'm doing autos.

I would do 20/4 or 18/6, either works fine for autos. Some strains might like one more than the other however.

Perfect! Thanks Nick

Ok.... So I got the lights today! There are no instructions though... I ordered 2 Quantum V1 135's and I've looked everywhere online trying to find instructions or videos on YouTube but can only find instructions for the V2's.. Can someone tell me where to find some type of instructions?? Sorry but this doesn't look like any cheap Walmart furniture assembly Lol!! HELP!! Hahaha!

What do you need help with?

 

[Raesunrae]

Putting it together.. All the electrical parts and pieces.

Post a pic. It is easy.
The driver should be clearly labeled for input and output, dimmer leads, if it has them, should be labeled as well

I recommend any HLG lighting in 3500k spectrum, if you want a nice spectrum from seed to harvest. Slays 3000k in veg for sure. Using my HLG 550V2 Rspec from seedling this year,,,,,,,,plants are only 10-12 inches tall but 6 sets of HUGE THICK LEAVES,,,,,,,,,,,that extra blue spectrum in the Rspec makes a huge difference.

Prior grows were CMH or 3000k cobs.

She just got a couple decent lights, thanks though.
Boatguy is going to walk her through the assembly.

Here is what I'm concerned with putting together without knowing what I'm doing.

I have a 2x2 tent with 2 mars hydro lights which pull a total of 230 watts from the wall. If I were to put another 130 watt light in there during bloom would it help yeild or is it too much.
