I want a Mars Hydro TS2000 because I'm starting to transition into perpetual harvest and my 3x5 flower room needs and long spread light. My motley setup of LED and CMH just doesn’t cover enough.
I got two QB120 boards last week. I'm gonna run them in series with the HLG-120-48a. Getting really excited to build the frame and get something in my tent.
You should check out HLG quantum boards. Their QB120 boards are easily the best bang for your buck. They consistently test above 2.0 PPF and don't require a heatsink. $30 a board.
I watched a video by LED grower last night and he reviewed the 90, 135, and 260 diy kit HLG has. I was very impressed by the output at 18" from the 135 kit. I can definitely get a full footprint with 2 120 boards in my tent. Just gotta wait until they're back in stock!
I couldn't decide if i wanted to run two 60 boards or just go up to thier 240 or 304 boards and run a higher wattage from one board. But 2 60 watt would be damn cheap to build.
I originally stumbled on QB by watching growmaus videos on youtube. He seems very knowledgeable with these. Growmaus...
I've read a bit and it seems this could be mostly genetic. Since the plant is still rather young and looks healthy I would wait and see what happens. Red stems can be caused by wrong pH, a magnesium deficiency or stress. But genetics also play a large role. I'm not familiar with this strain but...
It looks like cal deficiency. I had one on my last grow. How do your top leaves look? Especially the ones directly under your light. Thats usually where it shows up first as burnt spots and progressively gets worse. Can also cause hollow branches.
So I've decided I want to try a quantum board LED for my next grow light. In particular the HLG 135 or 185 watt kit.
Does anyone run a quantum board and what advice can you give to someone who is new to them?
