Want to upgrade using a quantum board instead of traditional LED

[jaynewbie]

Hi guys,

After my first successful grow, i've learnt some few steps to improve.
One of it was reducing the heat in the tent.

I'm planning to use the following setup :-
120*60*150cm
4" intake take 220rpm
6"exhaust fan 440rpm

I was thinking of trying out quantum board led.
I'm looking to only grow max 2 plants, is 120w or 240w sufficient with 3500k for both vege and flowering till the end phase.
And i hear samsung LM301H diode is better?

I would like to hear your feedbacks tq.
Newbie here still doing research

Quantum boards would be a great upgrade. I have a 135 4000k single board setup I use for veg, it works great in my 3x3 tent. I also have a 260 watt in 3500 k and it's a great setup as well.

3500 k would work well to use from veg to flower because it has just a bit of blue in the spectrum which is what you want for vegging to keep the node spacing tight.

2 plants under a 260 in a 2x4 would be a great setup and definitely enough light to have them finish nicely in flower.

The Samsung Lm301h diodes are a new release from Samsung and are specific designed for horticulture use.

For your space, you would want the two board option.

We offer a 250w for a 2 x 4. The LM301H is the latest from Samsung. Yes you would want the 3500k spectrum for veg and flower.

Yes exactly! A 2 board kit would be perfect for your tent. The kit that @Budget LED recommended would be a great choice.

I dim the light down when the plants are young because the light at full strength can be too intense for them at that age. Then I slowly turn up the intensity as the plant gets bigger and more mature until it can handle the light at full strength.

I see, that's very informative.
I assume there will be a switch on the maxwell driver to dim it? or you need to do wiring?

 

[N420]

Both of the meanwell drivers on the Samsung kits I have are dimmed with a small Phillip's head screwdriver. You may be able to get a dial for dimming just check with the company you buy your light from.
