They all look so amazing really look healthy
What the light beside the quantum board
I have four 150w 2700k security lights I just started using this week. I am moving those out when I get my new boards. I used angled aluminum to attach those to my 2 quantum boards. The t-8 leds in the middle are four 5000k and 3 burple led.

The plants like the lighting but I need to spread them out to get better penetration. Once the new boards arrive my plants will occupy 2 tents.

I wish china had seedbanks, they dont stop shipping for nothing.

All my seeds held up. might be waiting a while

Got incredible bulk and critical kush coming + some ufos (best is critical)

whats gelato like for yields? everyone seems to love that strain... I have time to change my options haha

Try US based locations that accept electronic payment

that looks like an eclectic setup.

what fixtures and space and what are your yields like?

Eclectic certainly would fit.

It was me trying to save money only to end up spending more. I was going to use t-8 led tubes but when I saw the quantum boards, I had to have some. The security lights because I wanted to extend the lighting out to the end of the tent. There's about 1200 watts in there. This is why I think with extra space between lights and plants, 960w will work just fine. Dim them down a bit and then gradually turn them up to find the happy spot.

Everyone talks about intensity of lighting. While that is important, there's something else to keep in mind. When my lights are FURTHER away from the plants, the light intensity at the top of the plant and the bottom plant do not have the extremes and lights the plant much more evenly. It really works well if you have enough watts to compensate for the extra distance.

Yield is unknown with this set-up. I previously grew with HPS .... Last crop in 1992. This is my first crop since then.

I found these led lights what u guys think of them
800 watts 268$ each

The only thing I didn't like about those is the shipping cost on the ones I looked at. I would have needed 2 and that put them out of my budget.

I guess that would depend on the supplier because I've never seen 800w that cheap. It lists quality components. Where did you find that.

I think its more of a coverage thing. My guess would be these would be for larger spaces where you would want to deliver less focused light.

Found this today.. thought it was interesting

That's essentially what I'll end up doing with my quantum boards once I get them all. It will be a ceiling of quantum boards lol

once this madness ends and I can go down south and pickup my rig.. its onnnnn
Lots of room in there huh ... I wonder how easy it will be to keep it cool? I'm sure you've put some thought into that and even if you don't have all the answers yet, in the end it will all come together.

keeping the humidity under control is going to be my greatest challenge I think.. They make plenty of RV air conditioning solutions for the top vents, but the interior is bare wood. It will allow for customization and easier construction inside, but will definitely be a challenge.

Are these things built so the drivers can be placed externally? I have height restrictions (5' tall space)
