DIY with Quantum Boards

@robincnn Will these batch's of boards be similar voltage for the last batch. Using both for a big driver and doing the Parallel-Series Wiring? Also what glue should be used to apply the Florence Linear Optics?
just like last few batches, this entire batch is S6 flux and AZ Voltage bin. both.. best voltage and best flux bin . So yes the Voltage bin is same as last batch. voltage should be very similar

For Parallel-Series Wiring
if you have 2 boards from batch 1 and 2 boards from batch 2. then best way to wire is this

@Stephenj37826 can assist regarding glue

I've been using this. Not sure it's appropriate but it works lol. I get it at Lowes

Quantum ( 3 panel batwing )

The "ASH " Arjan Strawberry Haze ( on left ) is looking great - stacked nodes / rich green .
Heading to week 5 of veg (from seed ) tomorrow....

BUT ... The BLUE GLUE is beast mode !
This Hempy with quantum is a NO BRAINER ! ... In the last 2 days it has added inches.
I am going to flip this bitch tomorrow... Right into a side quantum rig ( 260w 3000k ) in a corner room space I lined with VIVOSUN Mylar. I am adding another rig to this space and will have another 2 panels to max at ( 520w Max - but dimmed based on plants ) . This is probably overkill but since I will keep power dimmed and monitored ( with Kil A Watt meter plug ) , I just like knowing I have power on the " pedal " if desired. So 2 independent rigs daisy chained sort to speak that can run one or all.

I will show the grow area after I finish other rig and hang but for now she will get the 260w All to herself.

She is a heavy eater and feed her every other day with water 6.0 In between .

KomaKush is looking good and will be topped soon.

Grow details :
3 panel Quantums ( 3500k QB 304 )
Power dimmed to 205 W ..... 18/6 cycle
15" canopy height

Tent : 42"X 30" X 66"

Nutes :
Soil - Dr. Earth ( 3/3/3 ) liquid solution ( PH 6.5 ) tap water
Hempy - DYNAGRO grow - DYNAGRO Bloom starting after preflower start
(PH 5.9-6.0 )

Impressive, Gilded One! Do link me into the thread when you have it up and running!

looks great. its working so i guess wiring must be good.
These DC Connectors usually don't have a rating, but whenever i saw rating it said 24V or 30V max.
These may not be ideal for 100+volts. it may work fine if you don't disconnect-reconnect the connectors with power on.
we used same connector on QB 120 design and that is why we kept it at 24V

I did this as a cheep quick way to test power and get the lights on! Was going to do the dc to dc waterproof connectors but would love to hear your suggestions?

it's ok to dim type A drivers while the lights are running right? I want to dim the lights while connected to a power meter so I can set them at the wattage I want..

also, if I set the wattage while they're plugged into 120V (voltage of power meter), how will that translate when I plug them into 240V (voltage of lighting controller)?

the light output will stay the same right? just the Watts/Amps will change?...
