SkunkPharm 865 Posted August 6 I would just go with a full spectrum QUantum Board or cob light from Growopz. Or you can go with a quantum board from Mars Hydro, aeradix.Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GGG 6 Posted August 6 I agree Shunk, messed around with leds and should have started with the Quantums from growopz, now I have proper growing plants that gets all they need Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsyCLown 1,468 Posted August 6 I wouldn't get blurple lights. The chinese have some good Quantum Boards at very reasonable prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CleanGreen 178 Posted August 6 I've been using a Bestva 1500, almost a year old. Last harvest I got 370G out of it ( I am suppose to grow 4 plants ) So far I am happy with it for the price. To add as supplemental I have 2x 50w cheap floodlights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vera Green 0 Posted August 7 Thanks, I’ll take a look at those, I’m also going to be using the lights for lettuce, tomatoes and such as I’m setting up a grow shed for it all so I’ll be needing quite a few lights 22 hours ago, SkunkPharm said: I would just go with a full spectrum QUantum Board or cob light from Growopz.

Vera Green 0 Posted August 7 (edited) For some of my plants I’ll now likely be getting some of these quantum boards, but for stuff like my lettuce, since I’ll be needing a lot, what cheaper alternatives in the R1000-1500 range max are recommended? And has anyone ever used these strips? Considering them just for the lettuce if they could work well enough.

CleanGreen 178 Posted August 7 @Vera Green I would use those strips as supplemental. You might be better off with a COB!? https://growopz.com/collections/grow-lights/products/cree-cxb3590-cob-grow-light Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsyCLown 1,468 Posted August 7 https://www.cannabist.co.za/product/230w-quantum-board-led-grow-light/ Worth considering, proper authentic Samsung LED diodes and comes with a heatsink and driver etc. Or the smaller one if you'd prefer: https://www.cannabist.co.za/product/130w-quantum-board-led-grow-light/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vera Green 0 Posted August 7 Does anyone know what kind of area this light from growopz can cover? Both in veg and flower state? Could 1 unit work for a space of 1m x 50cm? QB-130 Dimmable "Quantum Board v2" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
