Hey, ive got 4 Elite QB96 v2 and a n hlg 320-54.
Im a little confused on how to wire these ?
There is only one positive and negative per board.
So do i run a splitter from the Driver and Split the positive into 4 lines and the Negative into four lines and power them like that ?

Anyone have a pic on these wired ?

Some 5 way wagos would work for that

Anyone have an idea when the V2's will be back in stock? It never seems like the Slates and the boards are both in stock at the same time.

I think the new boards are similar in voltage to the v1. Maybe you could just get 4 v2s, and arrange all on the inside or outside edges of your two slate 6s, so you'd have 2 of each on each driver. I'm not sure what the word is on mixing v1/v2 on the same driver?

They will be back this weekend.

Shouldnt be a problem with CC drivers, maybe a bit problematic with CV drviers.

Unless your running CO2, you probably have more light than your plants can use now.

I run 4 x QB 288 V1 on a HLG Slate 6 quad driven by a 480h-c2100B in my 5 x 5 tent. I get good results but still don't think that it is enough light. Does anyone have recommendations to boost my LED watts up to around 800-900?

For those that are not familiar with the Slate 6 it is one long heatsink with 4 boards side by side. I could easily fit a second one in there but I think that I would like something with the newer diodes.

You think that 480W (max) in a 5 x 5 is too much light?

pop22 · Feb 7, 2019

That light gives you about as much light as a 1000 watt HPS. If you want it in old standards, your light puts out about 80,000 lumens. Your PPF is about 900+ anyone running more than a PPF of 750 should run CO2, it can make a big difference, up to 30% more growth. If you add more light, you'll definitely want to run CO2!

IMO not even close to too much light.

Will a QB 288 V2 320w kit really veg a 5x5 area? I am trying figure out what would give me the best veg coverage in a 4x4.

320w will veg nicely in 4x4

About 35-40 per sqft

pulpoinspace · Feb 10, 2019

I’d say more like 20-25 w/sq ft for veg. 35-40 for flower.

If you keep on giving away lights we gonna run out of growtents. Between here and GML, nobody can say theres a more generous lighting company.

Hey guys not sure in the answer to this so I’ll let those smarter than me answer lol. Can these Meanwell drivers run off 220v?

Depends which meanwell most run 90v-305V auto sensing.

@Stephenj37826 any news on the V2 quantums?

Have to double check which ones I have.
I should be able to just look up their specs tho right? Type in the exact model. I’m so excited. We are moving soon and I should be able to run 220v into my grow room.
