it's currently what I flower under and I love the results I'm getting.
I veg under a Mars Hydro 300w LED unit and Viparspectra 450w LED . I flower under a Mars Hydro TSL 2000 and TS 1000. Each lights gets stronger in my grow as I also have a seedling box too. I've never used HPS before but I've followed other grows where people used both and prefer to stay with qbs . There are big factors between each light.Can you/do you not veg under them aswell? Do you notice concidersbly better yields over hps?
They don't sell QB's because those are made with Samsung LM301B chips, however, what they offer is similar (research 420, or PM me, for a more direct answer; they are a sponsor) if being similar is acceptable to you and if you are going to buy ready-made why not?Quantum boards from mars?

While QB's is a trademarked term, it has become common parlance to refer to all boards that use Samsung LM301B chips that are "clones" of HLG's as QB's.Please note Quantum Boards is a trademarked term by Horticulture Lighting Group. We will not use that term in respect of their trademark. Any company using the term outside of HLG is doing so without the approval of HLG.
We only use High performance diodes from Samsung or Osram not Epistar. Please note that when making your comparison and when doing research.

It is those chips that are considered the best whereas the other brands are considered to be less efficient.
Reverse engineering is always cheaper to do . . . just ask the Chinese Personally brand names don't matter, it is the specifications and your stuff has the specs with a much better price point then does HLGTotally understand. We just wanted to note any company leveraging the term Quantum Board to miss lead a client in advertising is doing so against HLG's trademark.
We will not bash HLG - we have mad respect for them. If they would have responded to our request over 1.5 years ago for custom lighting, we would not be in business today . We own our own our own designs and circuits now. We reversed engineered the industry they got the technology from.
Hello i have had both lights , m.h and hps bulbs will out perform any led to date unless you want to spend 1500 bucks per light on q.b boards and even then you will need at least 2 of them for that size grow area , unless you have a serious heat problem , stick with the h.i.d. lights or go to the the leds from budget or mars , i run the mars ts 2000 and a 1000 ts in a 4x4x8 tent and the results are great , spending 3000 bucks plus for lighting in my opinion is just wasting money , both budget and mars make great lights , that is your choice , at the end of the day its more about genetics , a plant is only gonna yield what its genetic code will allow it to , if you can get it to 80-90 percent of its genetic code and get it there as cheap as possible that is the secret , you would have to grow a ton of plants to make that 3000 plus dollars pay for its self vs a mars or budget led at less than half that price , to me qb`s are for commercial grows or someone with a medical grow licence with a 100 plants , keep in mind every plant is very different from the one beside it, some like lots of light and some need less , and the breed (strain ) of plants has a lot to do with yield and flavor , dont get caught up in the over kill , i had a heat problem and i didnt like the idea of a bulb burning out with hid lights and not noticing it till 12 hrs later , where as led`s will 99 % of the time will only burn out 1 led on the whole board , witch still leaves a sufficient amout of light , sorry about the rant but i see so many people spending thousands of dollars on lights to get a 10 % better , is it really worth it only you can decide that .
You run a room that size full of BudgetLed lights you're going to pull some great yields from what I've seen of their product. They are the lights I'm wanting to get to better my grow. Some day, hopefully sooner than later. Good luck, looking forward to seeing your setup.
