the dimmers are easy,just 2 wires come off the "b" type drivers and those rapidled dimmers have 2 wires already soldered on.biggest thing is making sure you order the b type drivers and not the "a" type
for veg you have plenty of options t5 cobs,some smaller boards like the qb 120 or qb132. i used 1500w of light to veg for 13,000w of flower for years.im using about the same now,slowly switching all my t5 fixtures out for qb or cob lights.cobkits prob has the wire you need,ask him if he sells 18 ga solid wire.if not you will need to find some at amazon ect.

Awesome thx SS I think im on track just to confirm is this the right b type driver (little confused on what i need i got the 240H part
Which 1 of these to drive the 2x qb288 pannels
  • MEAN WELL HLG-240H-C1050B
  • MEAN WELL HLG-240H-C1400B
  • MEAN WELL HLG-240H-C1750B
  • MEAN WELL HLG-240H-C2100
  • Also the qb 120 and qb132 what coverage do they give per board? What drivers . Need enough veg for mothers/clones to keep the 8 qb288 running
  • Contacted Bobby waiting on price and shipping.
  • Im SLOWLY getting there thanks for your patience with me :)

this is the driver i was trying to post,will run 2 boards in series (qb288). but some of this is up to you and how you want to run the boards.
this driver will run 4 boards in series(qb288) but at half the output per board as the driver above.

Oh shit qb 132 in the hizzy :cool:


Pay no mind to those qb288 and heatsinks,that's a different project lol.
These 132 being 36v are a direct replacement for anyone running 36v cobs that want to try a quantum board using the same drivers.need to grab some more aluminum when I'm out and it's on like dizzlekong :shockedninja:

Looking great six,love that flood tray how big is it :)
A quick question,
I have given up waiting for the qb128 boards to come back in stock for my veg room and am going with t5 lights like your sweet veg setup, I was just wondering what t5 setup you would recommend for me to have
10 clones,2 mothers and a clone humidity dome under ? I am planning a perpetual scrog with clones in humidity dome 1 month ,veg 1 month and flower 2 months ( is ther a need for mothers or do i just take clones off veg b4 moving to flower?
My options (i think im on track with correct bulbs etc?)
2 foot 2X55W LAMP T5 TUBE = 110 watts
2 foot 4X55W LAMP T5 TUBE = 220 watts
4 foot (1200x300x70mm) 4 tubes of 54 watts each = 216 watts
4 foot (1200x600x70mm) 8 tubes of 54 watts each = 432 watts
All 6500k?
Also do you veg the whole time in those red cups? if not what size pots will i need? is 1 month veg enough?
My flower pots are 4 gallon was planning on having 10 plants under 4 x qb288s driven in pairs with hlg2100b with dimmer
Looking to buy a humity dome to clone (they vary in price is one type better than another?)
Sorry about the 1000 questions six just trying to spend wisely
If any 1 has any advice please let me know :) think im killin six with questions
Thanks AGAIN :)

10 x 4 gal plants under just 4 x qb288 is going to be very tight.i cant tell you how your veg room will grow not knowing your skill level,i veg in those cups about 4 weeks,then 3 to 4 weeks in a 2 gallon,then another 2 to 4 weeks in a 7 gal then flower.your veg should be at least 1/4 the size of flower room imo.i used 1500w for veg and 12,000w for flower for years before i started tweaking shit.
