The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

These China lights seem to be more efficient and give off more light than an HPS while using half the energy. If they differ from HLG quantum boards I'll probably never know. I haven't seen one example of quantum board from China being bad. I'd go with the boards over the COBs
Me too...

Has anybody bought their boards from bright king on ali baba'?
I bought my cobs from him and they were legit...

Hi guys, back with a few more questions.

Planning on getting two more 560 boards so I can run them soft in a 2x2 config. Four boards, two 240 drivers.

Should I get two more in 3000k or consider mixing it up with 3500 or 4000k? Looking to avoid too much inter-nodal spacing and stretching during veg.

How's your experience vegging with 3000k? If not ideal, what kelvin would you recommend for veg. I still have the one blurple I could use with the current 3000k boards during veg, thoughts?

BTW, on day 57 since first pistils, 60 since flip. Excited...

Off-topic - What's the max you guys keep your temps at during late flower? I mean with the QBs. Please be specific, ambient (canopy) or LST?

Thanks.

Hi did u get this board and USE it for flower I am talking to Forrest from r2t about that exact board I am wanting it but worried about flower how good it does
Yes I got two of the Disco Boards.
I'm very pleased with them, they grow great plants. I've flowered a few times with them at least. 75 watts per board at moment .

The diodes aren't top of the range but they do the job.
I like to run them soft to bump the efficiency up a bit and I fill the room with as many diodes I can fit in there, all running soft.
There's no escape from the light! Lol

Got my order in from Bruce from shining opto-electric. Took an extended 5 days till ready to ship out. Fired one of them up so far so good. Can someone post a close up of a Rita board for comparison. This is a lmbic

Here is the latest plant flowered with a Disco Board .
RQS Royal Gorrilla 65 days of 12 on 12 off. There's another Gorrilla under another Disco Board that's already stripped of leaves.
Taking all the fan leaves off and going back under the lights until Tuesday ....ish
Rain came on so I brought it inside until it passed if you are wondering about the water drops.

So judge for yourselves as to whether the Disco Boards do the job.
I'm happy the results :weed:
