Good old Canadian weather lol!

Better late than never! I'm in Dutch.

Hey Scott! Welcome brother! Still just getting going so not to worry. Glad you could make it

Like the lights, Dutch

Currently running a 600w QB, but plan to add about 300w more in my 5*5 tent. Will most def check out if BudgetLED have any good options

Nice! I’m really excited to ramp up my 500W light and see what it can do but so far this 120W Kit is crushin it!

If your in the market definitely check out @BudgetLED for all your lighting needs!

Update​

What’s up everyone! Quick one today so I’ll just jump right in.

So if you recall I started the training process on these little ones yesterday by topping and doing some node removal! Well when I checked them out today they were doing great! Happy, healthy and not even phased by the topping yesterday this group is going to fill out very quickly!

I’ll be transplanting soon enough and then begin training the branches in their new pots! This will allow me some time to get them fat and wide before their final home in the 4x4 flower tent under that big beautiful 500W @BudgetLED

Here’s a few photos from the growbox this evening!

Good old Canadian weather lol

My drive to work was super weird, I drive through a 5 minute snow storm! It was 100% clear, then bam! My visibility went to 20%, gradually slowed down to 60 Kmh, then all of a sudden there was no snow, and visibility was back to 100%. It was the weirdest thing!

After doing extensive research I had landed on wanting to go with a quantum board setup. Looking at multiple companies from Canadian to US made I was struggling making up my mind and then I found @BudgetLED

After looking through their website at the time they had the newest technology with name brand parts at the most fantastic prices!

Now I chose the 3000K spectrum with added reds specifically because I wanted to use this as a permanent flowering light! I liked that I was able to get it fully Dimmable to adjust the wattage from the beginning of flower through to the end without changing the height of the fixture!

If you remember my last round in the 4x4 I had my 600W HPS and 2x 450W Vipar LEDS which worked well but I found I was battling the heat that round. With this new board I’m not worried about heat at all and I’m excited I’ll be able to get true wall to wall coverage! This is a video of the upgrade so you can see how much brighter it is than my old setup even at 50%!

Im really excited to flower under it this upcoming round and see how it does. I’ll be posting many updates about the light along the way for anyone interested as well and I’m sure the plants will show the true story of how they perform!

If anyone has any questions about it or my 120W please let me know!

I often see this in board-builds so maybe you can explain it to me. What's with the big gap in the middle? Is the coverage so even that a lux meter will read the same in the center as the edges even when the light is close to the plants?

Hello InTheShed:

Dutchman has the brain child to our new full spec boards. The kit he has was designed to do as you mention. Provide more even coverage across the canopy. We still have a few of the kits in stock. We just haven't listed them on our new site. It is an absolutely amazing light. It utilizes Samsungs LH351 660nm diode which is one of the best out there right now. However, supply is very low and it was hard to maintain a solid production schedule.

Our full spec boards are the next generation. We offer it in a 250w and 480w kit.

 

[Lowrider72]

That spread is perfect, well done.
Even spaces at sides as the middle.
Nice light mate.

 

[Tomuk17]

Great looking light mate gonna get many yields off that

Thanks! What would be the minimum height you recommend for this type of light in order to maintain coverage?
