Just to clarify when are those hundred supposed to be in stock?
I missed the last drop too

With the right choice of driver ( dimmable ) you will be able to adjust power and bring canopy close. These are perfect for even canopy grows ( scrog ). I have sprouted new seedlings @ around 20-30% power without stress as other systems are too much for young plants.
Check their website about different configs - i use 4 for 3x3 but many have grown plants with two. I personally was one of the first to grow with a SINGLE board and that was incredible.... I TESTED in a 3x3 with a BD Auto and it grew beautifully. The magic behind these are they radiate multi point areas of light which aids in penetrating more leaf surface .
My rigs run at the hottest ..... 73° all day long passively.

Looks like I found the right thread....
I believe 2 QB can be series on an HLG-320H C1400 for 320+ watts. If I decide to double my boards for better coverage, can I hook up 2 sets in parallel with each board pulling 700mA? If I hook up 3 boards with 2 in series and 1 parallel will that also be 700mA?
I'm going to try 4 QB with 2 HLG320H C1400 for 640+ watts over a 4x4. If the spread isn't what I want then I may add 2 or 4 more boards.
My current thought is 4 QB would work well for a..
36inchx46inch or
41x41 or
23x72
6 QB might be better using a 46x54 spread
8 QB has too many configs to list, but would have a solid spread over 48x48 for sure.
Of course this is theory until I get a QB in my hands with a meter at about 18".

I'm running 2 quantum boards at 100w-175w in a 2x2.5 tent and am on my second grow. This time I'm scroging and I still have a hard time beleaving I'm getting this kind of growth from such little wattage. I do notice as I bump up the watts in flowering the plants eat CalMag and that's just a good sign !
My plan so far has been 100w veg 125w until stretch is over after flip. Then go up to 150-175 the rest of the way. Doing one plant in Scrog and she is a beast so far, next time I will do two plants in Scrog . Vegging one plant to fill my space was too time consuming. I'll take a pic or two at lights on.

175w over 5sqft will be about 19 par watts which is good. With good environment you should hit nice yields for sure.

Do you think 3 boards at 240w I can run them 6" or closer in flower?
Hi,When Will the twin heatsinks be restocked . Thanks?

I think the website said 1.6A was the max
Edit...it does I just looked
But 1.4A is plenty per board.

You can bring it close but in flower i leave it between 15-18" and don't need to bring in close. Bleaching may occur. There is no reason to bring in that close during flower - they are very efficient at normal distances.
Because of better user control over power and light - You DO NOT have to worry about over saturation and harsh light conditions. Keeping your plants STRESS FREE is the key to these panels.
I do COBS too but for DIY thes QBs are hard to beat ... With every panel you add ( you add around 150w ) so you could upgrade in steps .
Example :
1 board ( 100-150w )
2 board ( 200-300w )
3 board ( 300w + )
4 board ( 300 + ) ... Even up to 400 passively-
Or if you plan it right 150 x 4 .... (600) !!!!!
It is super easy to shed the " HID Bulb " bullshit.
If i had the space - i would rock a 6 pack
MEGATRON STYLE !!!!

Does anyone know if 2 boards in series and 1 board in parallel can run on a HLG-320H-C1050B at 1050mA. I looked at the 3.5A version to run 3 in parallel but the forward voltage on that model was too low.
Edit....I'm not sure forward voltage actually matters for parallel. I'll have to check.

Shug I have one going but no pics yet, not in a friendly place but will snap one soon. Although the white widow or ak-48 I have would be better suited for Scrog I have a papaya going and its going to be amazing and very stacked lol.
@NapalmD its crazy how far down the bottom of the plant buds and stays healthy ! i tried to show that with my test autos and am glad your seeing it also. Nice baseball bats !
