The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

I'm stuck for something to fit into my last little bit of space and have been chatting with someone at R2T on Ali.

I need to make something about 80-90cm square and at the minute it seems these Rockbars are my best option. They're perfect for my space size wise and he rates them at 2.67umol/j

What's your thoughts on these? Anyone know of anything better out there?

:peace:

Ive been very happy with my Meuiji basic 135w QB288, 1.5g/w so far.
Im looking at the most recent boards, i might upgrade:
Samsung LM301H: 248pcs
Epistar 660nm deep red: 32pcs
Epistar 730nm far led: 4pcs
Epistar 395nm UV: 4pcs
Would that be a slight or significant improvement over what i have? I grow a single autoflower in a 2x2 tent.
Cheers!
After running 301's with Epistars. I think the 301's are great, but if I were to upgrade I'd go with something better than Epistar, or ditch the red/uv all togther.

Ok thanks. As I said yield has been great but what bothers me is that my buds are VERY dry, zero trichomes. Just wondered if the extra diodes on the enhanced boards might fix that. Cheers!

You grow a single auto in a 2x2 and get 10oz of bud with zero trichomes?

Not 10 oz, I average about 160g + maybe 20g that I lose to budrot which I've had every grow, my RH is far too high during flower, actually I think that might be the cause of the minimal trichomes.

Thats still a nice yield.

RH being too high won't cause your plants to not produce trichomes. And I doubt changing the lights will make any difference. You got any pictures?

Cheers, heres one of my last grow Dutch Passion Strawberry Cough - ok not exactly zero trichs but you could squeeze these buds in your hand and there was no stickiness whatsoever...i also do sativa doms maybe theyre less sticky than indicas...?

Try growing feminized photoperiods from decent breeders. Stay away from auto crap genetics.
Yep this clown got 356g from a shitty autoflower;

The days of runty little autos yielding 30g of piss weak bud cuz its 40% ruderalis are long gone dude...

This is a pic the bud from the thread you posted. I don't want 30g of that or 356g of it either..

Or any of that. Autos just look weird to me.
