And the Quantum boards as well as the COBs do emit IR spectrum but not UV. UV will increase THC but destroy CBD!

Hmmm I’ll message him the LEDs I have now seem to have a good light balance from uva all the way to ir but would like 4 or 5 individual boards one for each plant that has the whole uva to ir spectrum

I have not heard that uva destroys cbd I will have to look into that but look at these comes
The lights I have are Amazon lights that run from uva to ir so they say and these are the comes coming from 2 of them they say they r 1500 equivalent but only pull 260 or so from the wall

I have found the same, even stacked up against other lights that are very efficient.
My puck rail runs at 300 watts. I wanted more power out of a rail than 260 and the pucks have me more than that but there is definitely more heat for me to deal with than that QB. I love my pucks but in the end I think I would give my quantum board the upper hand in efficiency. My QB tent definitely stays cooler.
Here’s a quick pic journal of the build…super easy @davesnothere and super easy to add on another puck

I will probably have to wait until next years tax time to afford my own but I must say that this thread has made me very excited to upgrade! I can’t thank you all enough for helping me become a better grower.
Can anyone explain to me the difference of 3000k and 4000k?

Its color temperature
If your looking for one light to take you through veg and flower then you wanna buy a 3000k fixture
But if you wanna buy two lights: one for veg and one for flower then you wanna get about a 5500k for veg and between 2500k-3000k for flower.
I don’t wanna buy two lights and do the light switching process that they do with MH/HPS instead I just buy 3000k fixtures @davesnothere

I use to run 7500k for veg and 3000k for flower… I like the 7500k over the 7000k… just a little more blue sky day…

I pretty much only know hortilux’s research so may not be correct, I have a hortilux MH bulb that’s the best I have ever used so far… It’s 5500k (it’s the most expensive bulb u will ever see) but it’s a special light for sure.most blue I have ever seen in a grow light.
