As a newbie I also started on similar lights to you but I much prefer the COBs and Quantum Boards (all round better incl lot less heat)
I got lights from this guy in the UK. COB/QB in UK
I say this because you might have just bought your lights and be able to return them.

Hey @Kraizk ... looks like you've met some of your m8s from the UK already ... they are really helpful. I just read a post, from one of the UK guys a few days ago, about how your electricity rates are 3 times as much as they are here in NA. Are you running standard 18/6 light cycles ... or some kind of a Gas Lantern Routine?

Good luck and we're interested in seeing you grow top notch bud!

Cheers!

Hey @Kraizk ... that's good news. Right now I'm running a standard 18/6 but on weekends I like to push the girls for a few days at 20/2 and elevated humidity.

If you do run into one of your mates running Gas lantern please point them to me ... since I want to learn a bit more about the benefits of different light cycles.

Cheers

Google is your best friend when first starting to grow but looks like you have things in the right tracks, be pulling pounds before you know it .

 

[Kraizk]

Keep your damn plants and water away from the electrical cords, outlets and power strips. Screw it to the wall or keep it out of the way. Unbelievable...

rick.george ebay iirc makes qbs , just look on ebay, i got most if mine from that guy but one from china, uses all same genuine parts but i had to assemble and doesnt come with a separate dimmer like the others but was a bit cheaper. a few on ebay tho decent priced.
