I got it! I was being a dummy. I shoulda known that my brain just farted i think with the parallel and I went into panic mode lol all i had to do was go - to + for the series. Thank you guys! That was only the first of six so ill get more pics when i have them all built and wired up!

Okay, heres pics the best i can. The first one is a whole view. The next two are showing where the negative was switched to the "output" strip, the other end in the pic tying the strips together is wired parallel because that was my last attempt, which did not work, but i also tried it with just...

Okay, so pics to come cause lifes been real busy and chaotic and i worked on it a bit but by the time i was done i had to go and didnt take pics. Heres the things i tried: I realized that both my positive and negative for my parallel were coming from my "input" strip, so i switched the negative...

Okay guys, so I got the first (of six) lights wired up, but when god said let there be light, I instead got a let down. Does anyone have any idea why zero of the lights would turn on? I got 120 to the input on a voltmeter, but output was like .7 or something like that, regardless of either of...

Okay, 60 q series strips and 6 XLG-200-H-AB drivers in hand. Working on making my frame in the next few days. I gotta still get thermal tape, pots, and plugs. Will you guys verify this is the right shit? Legrand-Pass & Seymour SA399WCC10 Residential Straight Blade Plug 15-Amp 125-volt Two Pole...

PFA Heres my currently vegging girls. Need to get these babies proper lighting to produce lovely buds for me coming real soon.

Im making an order today or tomorrow for sure, hoping to have everything built within two weeks so i can start flowering my currently vegging girls. Still undecided whether i want to go h-influx or q series though. The q series is like over 200 cheaper, if its the same except more wiring, then...

Thanks for the advice man. Any input between the Q series and Influx strips?

I remembered i have this piece of aluminum diamond plate laying around, it looks to be 14 or 11 ga, def over a 16th which is what the standard 2mm equivalent is, I can shear it into even strips.. any reason this couldnt work for heat sink?

May even buy the LEDs today so as not to miss that price if they're up to PAR (pun intended)

I did look on octo part and found the drivers i think cheaper than what you had quoted. All together priced out around 750 for that build with the wagos and thermal tape, i may just bolt because i can likely get them for free. Not counting alum because ill figure out how to grab that, should be...

Hell yeah man! Thank you. I may try that. Only worry is that i dont want any intermingling between the groups of 4 as they'll be harvested at different times, so if they overgrow their net, it could make harvest a pita, however, for the extra room it may be worth it to either cut that net...

My dude, you are awesome, thank you so much. So both of these have roughly the same amount of red diodes? The rspec 260 kits are what got me looking at the quantum board, because I liked what people were saying about them but wanted to be able to spread them out farther. If thats the case, no...

Here's my full 8x8 room (to scale mostly) im setting up for perpetual cycling. Every 3-4 weeks one of those groups of 4 plants outlined in the blue "moves" by the arrows (although it will only actually move from tent to tent once, not inside, ill just know where its at in line). When one crops...
