The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

[Budjam]

Not exactly China lights but these look sweee--eee-eeeet

Can be had for about £440 delivered here.. bit over kill putting 2 of them side by side in my 2x4 tent but it would make for sweet ass coverage and could dim them down a little if too powerful I guess. My quotes back from alibaba with postage is looking to be about £290 then maybe import fees (it's pot luck).. Should I just pay 150 more and get these bad boys... decisions decisions..

290..holy crap. 440 must be for 2....still not even 1 watt per dollar

What makes you say that? It's advertised as full spectrum?

"Full Spectrum
Lumatek LED grow light solutions use a blend of white, deep red & far red LEDs"

"The lumatek Attis features high efficiency full spectrum Osram and Lumileds providing a full spectrum light suitable from seed to harvest. The Attis also features dimming, allowing you to reduce the light during early stages of your cycle and further reducing electricity costs."

yeah alibaba quotes were all about 290 delivered for 2 x 120w quantum boards. then maybe custom import fees.
£290 is about $350
yep 440 is for 2 of them lumateks.

People actually use CFL's, boggles my mind how inefficient it is

Yah power, I'm really really eager to I d out about your UV strips! Mark said he could out the 12 diodes on I divisible star PCBs for me which I'd rather have. I would just add then to my far red heatsinks. I'd have to raise them up a lot though so I dunno. Maybe it'd be best to build something where they're permanently fixes to the ceiling of the tent. That's the main thing I'm curious about is what distance they should be at

soooo...I just about fried my blueberry, left it on too long one night (didn't have the timer hooked up for some odd reason). So didn't use them much after that. These bitches are powerful for sure, spreading them out I think would be good. I don't think it would be fair to rate the lights after my use thus far, other than to say they put out some UV for sure
Blueberry harvested a bit early but oh well

Well how far away is it? And you've got it in a 4x4 tent right?

 

[Powertech]

It was a couple feet away just above half the tent, now it is angled a little, about 3 feet away from the others, about a 4.5 x 4.5 x 7

So at 3' away it's definitely effective?

curled the tips of my pistils in and leaf tips up after 2each 15 min sessions about 8 hrs apart at 2 ft, so I would say3 ft would be yes, only had 2 sessions at 3 ft so far

Oh OK, well at 3 ft I'll be interested to know what happens.

I think the best test is going to be the blue champagne clones I pulled a couple weeks ago. I have 10 of 14 cuttings that made it, and some will not get the UV treatment. That will be the real test. I figured it is the only way to know if these were worth it or not for sure. Let you know in about 4 months lol

2 more 220W boards showed up today. I'm just gonna start calling them 240W boards because they use XLG-240-H-AB drivers
