DIY with Quantum Boards

“With” would give better accident prevention to the diodes, results for lighting effects would be minimal.

In a tent, I'd run without, but they'll work fine either way. in an open room I'd use the reflector.

Happy New Grow 2022 !

Got my gear for lurking RIU tonight and going into 2022 ….. MotorBreath Cones / BD distillate cart ( Old Pal ) on knuckles battery.
Jameson Irish to help with my thread commenting ….. pretty sure MODS have similar setup.

Been another great grow year with HLG …. Thanks @Stephenj37826

Wish all a very happy and safe new year ……. No Homo LOL

I hope you all can handle your liquor!!! And don't drink and drive!!!

If I hadn’t retired from alcohol, I would go high octane sugar Ginger Ale, at least on NYE.

Sort of Quantum related I guess ….

Wanted to see rootmass and whether i could recover as much perlite for another round. I pulled a small container ( coffee ) and one of the 2 gallon hempy , rinsed free the vermiculite / perlite …. Strained and rewashed in hydrogen peroxide mix. Rinsed again and introduced back into containers. Both containers were well washed and sterilized as well.

They are drained then when ready for new plugs , they will get an initial mild feed solution to start.

Surprisingly I managed a good return with a cup or 2 of new perlite Only needed.

Hydroguard kept roots looking good and if you will look at the larger mass you can see where I layered the vermiculite level.
Below that line, you can see heavy root webbing .

Now to pick some seeds ……

Loving what my HLG 135 kit has done. Couldn’t help myself with the sale now too.. 350$USD for a 320w kit Upgrading the 3x

Now I know I’ll need a kilo meter or whatever to gauge watts drawn. But the 320w kit is rated for 340 watts. If both dials on the driver are maxed out will I get 340 or more ? Just wondering.
Also wondering when and if I switch from the 135 to the 320 can I just up the wattage instantly? Will have about 5 weeks of flower left once it comes

Brings back fond memories of my 2x2x3 and my 135w V2 kit...
Your plants look good!!!

I could use some suggestions/opinions on driver configuration with some qb96 boards (or just "54v" boards) if anyone is able to help out.

I'm trying help modify or improve a space for someone in the near future:
A 4x6 (24sq ft) area, currently there are twelve qb96 over the area, and they're being driven by two hlg-320h-54ab; so there's six qb96 per driver (for fixtures, three boards each). But the 640ish Watts is under powered at around 27-30w/sq ft.
I was thinking to add a third driver of the same model, and run four qb96 per driver. The qb96s are currently in three-board fixtures. I suppose there's no easy way to do this without totally re-doing the fixtures, OR at least redoing the wiring, which if done in place (fuckin' impossible) would have ugly/messy dangling wires.
I can't really "redo" the fixtures, that'd require all new frame material/aluminum in order to span the 6ft width, instead of the 4ft width like they currently do.

I wish I had a couple 480H-54ab drivers.

Time to bring wild child down …. Branches falling down and shit. I’m wish I trained her better during her grow. She was in the dark for 2 days ( not for any other reason than to chop her on my time ) plus she now has a bone dry “bucket“ and will spend more days ” drying on the vine “ as it were.
I have dried plants this way before and it works pretty well , then I just breakdown nugs. Any minor drying will then be mesh rack / then jarred.

Damn berta is a big girl!

I like the way you are talking about drying
