I started reading in January. Have spent a bunch of money just to ask for refunds after more reading. I'm happy with what I have now, but want to change damn near all of it. LOL. Do you have a grow thread?I’m in for the ride.
I’m doing my first grow as well, got a few plants in a scrog. It’s been a blast, and a lot of work. Lol! How long have you been researching before getting your setup?
Yeah I couldn’t really make up my mind either so I bought decent but cheap stuff for my first grow then I’m gonna build up from there.I started reading in January.

Not a big deal but you could save some extra heat load on your system by putting the LED drivers outside the tent. Beauty of a light though. What's not to love about QB boards:).Howdy all. I'll keep this gowing, and I'll update with more info and journal data in a little bit. Wanted to get the thread started though.
Fem White Widow from ILGM.
Germed in rapid rooters (tap water w/ 180ppm TDS)
Moved to hydro once roots were through the RR.
4 QB132 panels on for veg (300w at the wall).
TDS is 350ppm in the tanks with pH of 5.8.
Using GH3 flora. Already learned that I should have used Jack's.
I'll be asking for help, I'm sure. I try to do my research before I ask questions though. I appreciate any and all comments, critiques, criticisms.
Looks good, I’ll take a seat for the show. I grow White Widow as well. I’m no expert, but I do have a few grows under my belt. Here’s my grow log, current grow begins on page 15 if you want to catch up.

Good luck
I'm probably going to be moving them. One of the power supplies is more sensitive to the heat from the boards than the other. If I don't watch it, it starts the 4 corners flashing.Not a big deal but you could save some extra heat load on your system by putting the LED drivers outside the tent. Beauty of a light though.

That sounds a little weird since those drivers are specified to go to 80 deg. C!. Something else must be causing the intermittent behavior. Check your connections etc. If it isn't a connection it may be a flakey driver....don't know.I'm probably going to be moving them.

It'll run 24/7 with that fan on it. I turn the fan off and it'll go for a while, but then it'll start 1 second on 1 second off. It's stops flashing within 10 seconds of turning the fan back on.That sounds a little weird since those drivers are specified to go to 80 deg. C!.

Weird cause I don't see how you could be reaching 80 C on the supply but either way get it out of the tent and see what happens, I'll be curious to see how it comes out.It'll run 24/7 with that fan on it.

I think I'm going to order some now. I just don't like the fact that I've got 3 gallons of GH3 that is going to turn into $75 wasted. I've already gone through 1/3 bottle of ph down though.For me the nice thing about Jack's is when I mix the 321 ratio my ph always hits 5.9 to 6.0 even though my water is not even close to where I need it.
