    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    Oooooweeee you can have some fun with that! And yes, what Airwalker said above. I always lean on the side of overkill so I’d go with the 4 320’s. If you run each board at their full 125w they run pretty hot and you will almost guarantee diminishing light output over a year or so.

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    id say go with two 600’s. 100w a board is pretty nice. Although I gotta ask, what’s the electrical like? Will the entire tent be on one circuit?

    I agree, but baby steps my friend. I like the process :) it will be a modular design at some point.

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    I built this for my 4x4 using boards, strips, heat sinks and drivers from King Brite. So far they’re rocking it. So yes I’m in the boat of more boards for any space. I have the ability to dim each pair of boards separately from the others as well. Plus running them soft will greatly extend...

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    Surprisingly enough the strips can turn out to be cheaper, depending on what type of strips you go with as there are many to choose from. China is a bit locked down at the moment so getting stuff shipped is seeming to be a challenge for everyone. with $1200 usd you could spank the fuck outta...

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    Depends on how much you’re looking to spend. Strip wise I wouldn’t go with Ali as there’s cheap high quality options from North American suppliers. in terms of boards, you could outfit you’re unit with 2 x 480w 4 board fixtures ooooor, IMO, you would be better off with 4 x 240w fixtures due to...

    The key to longevity of these fixtures is to run them soft as Rockets stated before. He recently posted something a page or two back about diminishing light output for led units when run hard. Worth the read.

    AN BOOSTERS question..

    You water an hour before lights out? Be careful with that as that practice can lead to PM issues in flower

    I wouldn’t worry much, as walker said the drivers are IP 65/67 rated so as long as your humidifier isn’t blasting directly onto the diodes you’ll be fine. Wagos have inner walls to separate the connectors so they won’t short on each if humidity levels are high.

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    Yup, what Airwalker said. From what I’ve seen so far with my current grow using King Brite products, I’m very impressed. I have a log going in the journal section if you’re curious.

    Eric Clapton = Rockstar x Cookies n Cream

    Just a quick update, day 11 of flower. Pictures taken 10 mins after lights on. Everything’s been going great, no deficiencies of any kind to be seen. Outer boards are at 90w each, inner boards are at 80w each, totalling 520w. I plan to raise the outers to 105w a piece and inners at 95w a piece...

    House insurance in Canada for Indoor grow

    That’s company specific unfortunately. Ive heard that some do but most won’t. I don’t have any names of companies that do but I’d suggest calling an insurance broker rather than a company itself. They will give you the real down low as they’re third party and unbiased.

    AN BOOSTERS question..

    What Myke said, make too many changes at once and you’ll never know what made the difference in the first place.

    AN BOOSTERS question..

    When it comes to suggested weekly doses, just divide the recommended weekly amount by how many times you water per week. You’re watering everyday with a peat based medium while in veg?

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    You guys are probably right, especially since I just noticed there’s no “pay now” option. It has to be arranged through meijiu who will most likely say it’s just for the board.
