Re: Confirming parts list for 4x 240W QB288

Hi everyone, Just wanted to circle back and say thanks to those who helped me. I replaced my outlets and finished wiring all 4 boards last night. A couple weeks later than I originally planned but life happens. At the end of the day it cost me $1068 CAN for 4x 240w V2 kits which include the longer h...

Hey @deece sorry to hear about your issue re: tent dimensions. How did you end up addressing?

Sorry for late response. Had a personal issue taking up a lot of time over past couple weeks.

Re: DIY LED strip build for 4x4

The diy kit you posted still looks like it requires the same level of wiring and handiness. I recommend you still price out two of these LED strip light builds, might be significant savings to be had bud!

Re: Confirming parts list for 4x 240W QB288

If your going hydro and your AC outlets are inside your grow space install GFCI plugs on the wall. Thanks for this tip. The current plan is to keep the plugs on outside of tent but after reading a quick article on GFCI plugs it seems like a good idea to change to that no matter what. Thanks again!

Re: Confirming parts list for 4x 240W QB288

something like these are nice for the A.C. side of the driver.. Wagos work fine, but these are just extra precautions.. they're waterproof and you really can't knock them loose.. as for which driver, either or will be fine... it would depend on if you prefer series or parallel wiring.. technically ...

Here's my latest design. Let me know your thoughts Looks great man. No doubt you're making a lot more progress on this than I am.

Confirming parts list for 4x 240W QB288

Hello Everyone, I originally posted on this forum asking about a DIY strip build for a 4x4. Since that time I've done some more reading and ultimately accepted that building a QB from a kit may be more appropriate for my (limited) skill level. I'm at a point where I think I have all the parts I need...
