    New style Samsung LM561C Board

    hlg has the specs up for qb324. they seam less efficient than the qb 304 going off ppfd conversion at 1050ma. If I did my math right , a few nights ago. Wonder why there wasnt a big announcement eh?

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    I got 18/2 solid core from home depot. Had to get an associate to cut it for me. Seemed like a fair price. Black and red wires. They're encased in another layer, strip that off. Garbage.

    Theyre giving away scratch and dent heatsinks at hlg, just buy the boards at full price to go with it.

    First time, 4x4 led grow, don’t know what led to choose

    Well these leds are apparently 2x efficiency of hps. Started with 400w hps. Could have done better with it prob but I didn't have everything needed for an hps set up. Grabbed 2 mars 300 then jumped on 4 more. They grew a bit better with the lack of adequate climate control. Eventually some...

    First time, 4x4 led grow, don’t know what led to choose
