    DIY with Quantum Boards

    I like the 3500k as an all around so I don't need two sets of lights. You can supplement with some 4000k for veg and 2700k for flower if you want to get fancy.

    Wow Stephen, by those numbers one could almost run a 4x8 tent with just 4 qb's I was really impressed by the amount of light they put out yesterday when I got them turned on.

So with the right LED lights, you can get away with around 30-35 watts per square foot and generate a ton less waste heat. As...

    Hi, I ordered a HLG-600H Kit with Slate 5 3500k and pretty excited to get it in my hands. Looks like I should be parallel wiring the 4 boards, correct me if I'm wrong on that. They only had one kit left when I ordered, but I'm going to need two of these for my 4x8 tent. Anyone from HLG know...
