I did consider only doing half the room, and in all honesty there is a good chance that will be the way it goes, as demand for these seem to be greater than supply. Once all said and done the biggest challenge will be getting 20 boards :peace:

lol yh I know mate, I got the feeling I had just met the resident nay sayer, the one that will go to the end of the earth to find a piece of info that disproves something. The anti-Board lol .

I think you may have misunderstood me. I did mention the very reason I want to use 20 and no more is to drop my current consumption. Something these boards will do very well. And somewhere in there I mention several reasons why I have always placed LED above CMH on my list. Reduced heat and...

Is it like that? lol

The soil does look a little coarse. I would suggest something a little finer just for the start off, or buy something that wil bring the seedling along a little before going into the soil. Where the soil was dry I would imagine you have not had enough moisture around the root, basically its...

There isn't too much evidence it will get you much more from your crop at the moment, so I cant sove aside QB's for CMH based on a little extra Red and UV. Unless you got me a nice link to something telling me I'm gona get another 10% of buds from some UV2?

That said if @robincnn or @Stephenj37826 can make one that plays Vinyl I would really appreciate that (:

Take it easy folks, I don't want to turn this into a debate on which is best. For the record I really like CMH technology, it is without a doubt one the best sources of grow light in the world. But spectrum and light figures aside its those end numbers I'm after. Weight, bud density etc. Don't...

This is really good to know, Thanks for this. :peace:

@sixstring2112 Thanks very much for that, great stuff. What are the plants like down the stem, are the buds as good below the canopy top as they might be with traditional lighting?

As I say mate,m I know the numbers. And even if I didn't it wouldn't matter much because umol is all well and good as long as you know how to get it onto your crop. Its experienced QB users giving a genuine opinion over HPS etc I'm after. I have seen plenty of LED buds, and they are...

@frica Cheers for the reply. To be honest I understand the tech behind them, and it has always impressed me. I cant and don't doubt the QB and COB ability to out perform HPS. One way or another I want to out my traditional HPS setup within 6 weeks. And Quantum Boards are right at the top of the...

The good thing about growing is that your weed is your weed. Don't compare it to others, if your happy with it then that's all that really matters. :weed: And I strongly suggest you tell the person selling you the other stuff to do a magic act. Like disappear. :?

LMAO . I'd give that a bit more time. Would get higher smoking daffodils. 3 weeks minimum I think.

Its all I got mate. I know lukio is doing well, just been on his actually. I'm hoping some of the folks that have used them over the water can throw a few of their grows at me. I have been looking, honest to god. But with the QB main thread being 150 pages it took me some time to get through...

@zypheruk tbh bud, I dont want to put any pressure on you, but your grow is kind of the decision point. I'm waiting to see how you do on yours. So far it looks sweet as, and I would have no problem getting what your getting out of every 4 boards I use as my wattage will be about 25% less. Just...

I need 20 Boards to run my room. To be truthfully blunt, if I add any more boards the consumption would go through the roof. Again I say this with honest intent, but what good is using more watts than HPS? I understand the umol / Par might be double from the QB's than HPS or even CMH. But...

I was under the impression 4 boards will work a 4x4 area? Again I'm not in any position to say for sure as I know very little. I get most of my knowledge from the HLG site. I have contacted Robin just to ask about the drivers though.

I had seen these. And I say this with all due respect for HLG, but Estimated leaves a lot of open ground. I cant take an estimated number, from a single (unknown to myself source) and then use this to make a well judged decision on making a $3000 investment.

Are there any official good quality meter readings for the Quantum boards yet? I've been trawling through the site for a while and although I see some on page one of the main thread, I cant find anything solid. I really like these boards, but my grow room is a little larger than a 4x4 foot...
