DIY with Quantum Boards

I hate to say it, as I'm a DIY guy myself, but for what it would cost to DIY such a light, you can buy a refurb, with a warranty! The 600 Rspec is $599.00, you could DIY it for about $550 but then your only option for heatsinks are the Slate heatsinks and they no longer sell a 4 board heatsink.

My DIY Diablo light cost me: $608 (EDIT: $588) for 4 Diablo boards shipped, two HLG240H-C2100b drivers $149 shipped, plus wire WAGOs, etc another $22. There's $759 and that's without a heatsink! I was lucky, I got a free heatsink. Those big slab heatinks are not cheap! IF you could buy one, with the powder coating included, I'd bet $150-$200. I can buy a refurb 650R for $749..............

What would be a good build to replace a 1k watt hps?

Sorry to ask such a rube question but LEDs are kind of an enigma to me. Almost jumped into cobs a few years back, kinda glad I didn't now.

I recently bought a hlg 135w quantum board kit and am pretty happy with it. Really bright

Cob kits has HLG on sale atm. What do I need to start replacing hps's? What configuration?

She is running probably into first week of January before chop. She’s putting on more weight and slowing up in uptake.
Running her on a lighter feed til end with some mammoth P.

Left that 288 in there for the heat... I think that by it being winter,this cold is not good for them on a 12/12 cycle... But that's just my thinking...

With a waterproof housing they can be run in greenhouses, the cold would possibly even extend their life span. And I've had it down to 50F in my grow room recently..
