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?
-
Without having equipment to test the lights, you'd need to try it and see what happens. I know people have vegged with LED flood lights with good results. I doubt the plants will die, although I think they may stretch a bit more than usual and be a bit scrawny. If it is your only option, go for it.
-
Are they in Coco or soil and what nutes are you giving them? Do you PH your feed each time before feeding? What sized pots are those? I am assuming not 20L pots if you're talking about repotting. I personally would let them get a bit bigger before flipping, upto you though Nothing wrong with flipping now either.
-
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.
-
Welcome to the forum! Nice man, so just recently flipped to flower basically? Aren't you scared cold fronts may kill the plants before they are mature and ready for harvest? Put your harvest around July sometime, roughly, if you've just flipped. They're looking good though!

New grower needing help choosing a light
PsyCLown replied to BigBudD's topic in Starting Your Own Grow
What about LED strips or Quanum Boards? You could make something happen within your budget if you were to look at buying and making your own LED strips... Especially if you can source some decent strips locally. Otherwise you may need to look at Arrow or Digikey and bring in some. -
Yeah man, will be keen to see how it compares to the 561C diodes in terms of what bud gets grown under them. If we had a quantum sensor it would make a bit easier to measure and compare lights.
-
Mine are still stretching but I've got some serious pistils going! Keen to see further updates!
-
Ahh right, using GHE as well. Nice! At what point do you plan on switching nutes over to flowering ratios? You going to base it on time or what will you look for in your plants?
-
Looking good man! I always get excited when I start to see lots of white pistils forming. That is where I am at currently with my grow, I think I am around a week or two ahead of you in terms of when I flipped. Do you do you nutes different for the stretching phase vs the flowering phase?
-
I'd wait for more / longer roots, also I prefer to put seedlings / cuttings into coco first and then into soil if using soil. The coco is a bit lighter and fluffier than soil tends to be, helps give the plant a bit of a boost and get started and established while its still small and starting out.
-
So what type of light do you use to grow with?

Greenkush isn't very active on the forums anymore, you're welcome to drop me a PM or reply here and I can try assist where possible. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Happy 420 everyone!

Let me quickly put on my tin foil hat It's very easy and simple, I figured it out not too long ago... China has a secret lab where they were genetically modifying various coronavirus strains until this one was developed. At the same time the US of A were doing the same, hence why they were in China prior to the outbreak. Trump released their strain of the virus and China released theirs too (hence why 2 strains were confirmed early on). China also decided to modify the 5G towers they have been developing and manufacturing to further assist in the spread of COVID-19 because we know that microwaves are bad and only good for heating of food and WiFi... because internet. The governments are providing false stats to scare us and have decided to implement the lockdown to control all of us, they are busy developing vaccines which will either lead to us becoming autistic or allowing the government to control us (think mind control). and that is that! lol

Keep in mind that importing anything now will cost a fair bit more than it did prior to lockdown, around 30% more. Although I agree that strips are a decent option too. When it comes to LED's, regardless of whether you are buying or building, it's the actual diode itself which makes one of the biggest differences. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

That'll work well. Pretty much the same as what I have, awesome lights!! Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Yeah, should be alright for a single plant in a smaller tent like that. Do you know which LED's are on that Quantum Board? You do not have to get a Quantum Board, you can try get some LED strips although most of the time with strips you need to build your own light. You could also go HID but I personally prefer LED over HID.
-
Welcome! There is lots of info on this forum, just read through the various threads and feel free to create your own if there is specific info which you require. What exactly would you like to learn more about?
-
Where are you based?
-
Getting quality LED's locally for that price is difficult, even importing some quality stuff right now works out a bit pricey. I saw @Cannabist was looking at doing some DIY LED kits, not sure on his pricing but that may be a suitable option.
-
Finding QB's for that price is difficult, with the new exchange rate its going to become even more of a challenge and probably extremely unlikely / near impossible. For your sized tent I'd say you'd at least want 2x QB288's so something a bit more powerful (more LED's) than that qb200 on the GrowOpz site. Both those lights are also out of stock. Maybe see if @Cannabist still has stock of his Samsung lights that he's willing to sell otherwise I'm not sure you'll find something worthwhile in your budget to be honest.
-
Some good advice this, although certainly not for everyone. Some are happy just to get something to smoke and do not care much as to what it is they're smoking.
-
I agree 100% with you!! I am not against these tools, I do not mind them being a bit inaccurate although my bigger thing is the consistency and how inaccurate they actually are. If they are able to give us a guideline or percentage as to how inaccurate the results may be and at least provide consistent results then they could be very useful indeed.

Welcome! What did you order which you needed? GT Hydro are now doing online orders and will ship it to you during the lockdown if need be.
