I have Mars hydro which has rope attacents outside the tent for hanging tool bags ..

My quantum board gets fairly hot ..my tent isn't overly hot .. but the board is

Can I hang the driver like.this outside .

Do I need to do anything ..

Myt need to extend the wiring no doubt

Would you have to take it apart? Or is the driver already off???

It was self assembly you just screw it in and connect the cables or vise versa

Idk. Maybe give marshydro a holler. They are on here. I’d quote them in. But that’s up to you. If it seems dangerous I wouldn’t.

If your tent isn't hot then there is also the option of leaving the driver inside the tent but away from your board. You want +80F in flower for good results. Less and yield will suffer
