So, I made a diy QB120 setup with 3 boards running, on the HLG-150-48A.
I was scoping the suggestion configurations for parllel wiring and it struck confusion.
Should I not wire 3 qb120's on the HLG-150-48A?
In other words how would I got about doing so? I currently only have two boards wired in.

this I also my first time ever even getting into growing and DIY was the way I chose to go, cuz fuck blurple lights.
Those QB120s are 24V boards so if you’re running them in parallel right now on that driver, they’re getting too much power. You would have to wire them in series on that driver to keep the current reasonable. 3 boards won’t work very well on that driver and may put the driver into hiccup mode protection.

Unfortunately the driver and number and type of boards you are attempting to run do not work well together. An HLG-150H-24A would have been the right match for wiring all three boards in parallel.
Best option with what you have may be to wire 2 of the boards to the driver in series.
Driver would give up to 76.8 watts per board which is just above the qb120's suggested max without heatsinking, but may be okay, or turn it down a bit from max. Won't be as much efficacy as 3 boards on the correct driver, but it would work.

I know I'm not right
But I'm not wrong, no, I'm not wrong
Girl, you hate it when I'm too high
But that's where I belong, where I belong
