Re: QB132 Driver Questions

Hey guys, thanks for the help! I ended up using the HLG-120H-36A and running the lights in parallel. Wanted to share the end result.

Overwhelmed with options

Over the summer I fell into a new hobby and as a result I have a ton of plants and not a lot of great places to put them indoors. As a result I've been trying to figure out what I can do to help keep my plants alive and (hopefully) help them thrive over the winter. A couple weeks ago I naively purch...
