Timmah Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey Everyone, Another first time grower here! Been following the forum for a couple of months so finally decided to introduce myself :) From the Western Cape. Some specs of my environment: Indoor 1.4x1.4m tent 1x 200w QB style LED light (Only using half my grow space right now) FF Soil with BioBizz nutes Currently week 8 from seed with 4 White Widow Autos from Dutch Passion Will post some pics soon! Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Went for autos on your first grow, good luck Create another thread and post some pics of your babies! What do you mean by a QB style LED? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmah Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) lol thanks guys! Will see if I can post some pics later today @PsyCLown as in Quantum Board style, though I only say that because I'm not sure how else to classify this type of LED array? It seems the community adopted "Quantum Board" to describe a PCB stacked with a large amount of LED's? Anyways, here is a link to the light I'm using (https://jves.co.za/other-products/led-growlights/cree-led) Perhaps a little pricey but it's produced locally and local is mos Lekker! (Good build quality IMO too) Edit: Apparently I can't spell quantum board... Edited July 10, 2019 by Timmah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmah Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I suspect that it's more to manage the voltage or something - I'm no electrical engineer, but I believe these rows are usually wired up in parallel and the red and purple led's might run at slightly different voltages Either way, I think the spread will be fine since im covering a small area and hanging about 60cm above canopy in flower. Ill also be getting another 1 or 2 engineering samples from a buddy who is experimenting with some of osrams new horticultural LED's. So that'll cover the other half of my tent nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked this out and I'm sorry but it's shocking to keep seeing how much markup local LED manufacturers/suppliers are putting on their products. Literally almost half the price (with shipping ) if you order from China directly. @Timmah I don't want to kill your vibe dude, just want to spread awareness I guess.

Timmah Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 @KushNewbie Hey man I appreciate it! I'm fully aware of whats out there though. To be completely honest I needed something quick and im not really one to bother with the hassle of international shipping either cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
