Hi Everyone,
I am new to growing just started in May. I live in a Medical Marijuana State and started growing for cannabis for medical reasons (Cancer since 2008). I am tired of all the medicine they are giving me and decided to give growing a try. I am 2 months into a grow and need a good light to flower with. I have been watched most of the GrowMau5 videos and got interested in the Quantum Boards offered by HLG. Mostly for cost and efficiency. So when they became available this month I ordered 4 QB304 boards 3000k and matching heat sinks and want to build a light similar to there HLG 550. I am totally new to this field so I may need lots of help and I'm hoping this forum will be a big help.
When I started I knew nothing about LED lighting so I purchased the cheap no name China LED lights off of Ebay.
I have 2-1200w lights and 1-1000w light and 1-600w light. Total true wattage of all these lights is 390watts. They are working for now but very soon, when I go into flower stage, I will need much more power.
So after a lot of investigation I decided to go with the Quantum Boards and build one myself to save cost.
So far I have 4 QB304 on order since June 18. HLG is the slowest company I have ever ordered from.
I am going to run 2 boards in a series with a Mean Well 240H-C1050B drivers which I purchased from Rapid LED along with dimming Pots for each driver. I will mount all this on an aluminum frame.
Wish Me Luck
I will start a build journal when everything comes in
