When you say build quality, what exactly are you referring to?
The overall light? The way the QB is mounted to the heatsink and the LED driver?

Do Onlinegrowshop not use Meanwell drivers?

@Ill_Evansorry for hijacking your post.

@PsyCLowni have attached a picture below. They made use of 3 pieces of flat aluminum to mount the QB and then another two angle angle irons for the Meanwell driver. The grow-light  got so hot, in a span 30min, I couldn't touch it. I removed the two angle irons that was for mounting the Meanwell driver and I added the fan.  Apart from that, the plants and I love the grow-light.

Interesting, who make the 3 QB's which you have? Do you have any idea?

Fake diodes are not unheard of and could be the reason you are getting different experiences, also depends how many red and "uv" led's are on the board etc. etc.

The 4000K is from GrowOpz, seedlings love the light. The 3000K without red and UV is from greenleafgrow, love their build quality, but not the best growlight (second grow under them and results are not good). The 3000K with red and UV is from onlinegrowshop, plants love the light all around BUT build quality is poor. If I didn't remove the power supply of the heat-sink and added a fan, it would have burned out the leds.

Thanks man, going to do an update tomorrow and show off some preflower 

The great and powerful @PsyCLown hooked me up with this particular 250W QB. 

So far loving the performance and it's up to this point comparable to my experience with using 250W MH/HPS. I will make my overall opinion once I get that sweet sweet smoke into my eager face 

Strange that you are getting different results from the three QB's  do they all use the same diodes and driver? 

The proof is in the "Pudding".

I have a 4000k, 3000k and 3000k with red and uv. The one with the red and uv grows the best, but the company does not put it together well.

I'll make contact with @PsyCLownto see if he can hook me up.

@Ill_Evanyour grow is looking great. Where did you source your 250W Quantum Board from? I have currently three different 120Watt Quantum Boards and getting different results under them. The Image below is one of my Monster Bruce Banner Auto's in my DWC system under a 120Watt QB.     

@Bospatrollie2your laddies are looking awesome. I have started growing in Cannabis craft soil compared to always in hydroponics. Do you use any special soil for your grows? The only additives for the craft soils is molasses and Epson salt. I have a Auto Monster Bruce Banner in the craft soil she is in 10 weeks from seed, pic below.

I'm in the same predicament @Ill_Evan.

To add to that my birthday is this Friday and I have no bud or beers.

Hope others were better prepared.

And you can't even visit a buddy to help you out.

I have a Monster Bruce Banner auto I'm currently growing under one of the 125W GreenLeaf QB, I got 5 MBB seeds from @Cannabist. It draws 109Watt at the wall. I normally grow hydroponic, but with this one  I got a 40 liter material bag and some Just Cannabis Craft Cannabis Coco-peat Soil. The nice thing is that I just give it rain water every two to three days and it's growing beautiful.  

Thank you at @Mambawana. @CreX my temp is around 26. Busy getting my aircon rigged up to my light controller. Think it can be the nutes as I pushed  it to max about a week ago. Will dilute my reservoir tonight.

Thank you all for all the help.

Thank you @Prom and @Stinger96. I thought yesterday that it might be to little light, so moved the light down. Will move the light higher up tonight. It's a 120watt QB at 3000K.

PS. I can't find the info on the seed-bank they came from.

I have noticed this little growths on-top of all my bud sites. Have anyone seen this before or know what will cause it. It's a Girl Scout Cookies Auto.

I vote @Cannabist their service and variety are awesome. Ordered from their local stock on Friday 31st of Jan and it got delivered today. Have ordered seeds from various seed banks over the years, local and abroad, I must say that I have found my new favourite seed bank.

PS. I have no affiliation with them.

Phoned them, they are busy developing their website.

@Oolong83do you know if they have a website?

I'm totally down for assisting breeders, I have zero experience breeding... But would love to learn and possibly enter my own seeds one day

Count me in. If breeders want to see how their strain do in hydroponics, I'm more than happy to assist.

@Trailblazer420were are you located. I have 3 x 50 watt 220V cobs that I don't use anymore with 3 x 220V fans. If you want for FREE.

@Oolong83From my experience, if the tips of the leaves dry/burn then the PPM is to high aka Nutrient Burn. If it's the lights it will be the whole leave. Experienced the light burn with my current indoor grow for the 2019 comp.

I agree with @CreX get some Ladybugs. They die off quickly so if you want them around after they ate all the spider-mites create a habitat for them.

If you have enough space you can make your own feminized pollen. How to below. The Colloidal silver can be bought at Clicks.

It will be fine. You only have to worry about the "dark cycle" once you switch to the flower stage.

Or get one of the containers below to store your flower for later use.

Hey All,

I'm just a regular Joe that loves to grow. Got into growing cannabis because of a friends struggle with insomnia, fell in love with this miracle plant and now I grow for my friends and family.

I have ordered some Charlotte's Angel seeds from them. Good service.
