I’ve just bought a hlg quantum board, the same board they use for the 650R and the scorpion model. I’ve only got a 2×2 so I figured I only need one board? I know the new 648 Diablo boards they use are one of the most efficient on the market, but one board is just 150 watts. Is this enough to get nice dense flowers in a 2×2? Thank you in advance, love the show and content. Much love from the uk 👍💨💨💨
Yup you should be good. 150w of really efficient LED is a good fit for a 2×2.
Where did you get a single diablo board from?
You can get then at cobkits.com only place i know that has them. They were having issues with people wiring them wrong and burning the 660 reds out thats why their not sold on a diy right now.
Oh yeah forget to mention they can be driven up to 5000 mA so you can get more wattage out of them. Theirs also only 20 left and their sold without warranty because of the issue of wiring them backwards. I had almost bought one myself.
Yeah I was aware they stopped selling them as a diy, that’s why I was surprised to see someone actually using one. That’s cool there’s still a few available. They seem like great boards, I was kinda bummed when I heard they weren’t going to offer them as diy kits anymore.
You should get great buds with that setup! For a comparison, the spectrum king closet case v2 is 140w and they claim it is able to flower out a 3×3… I am initially skeptical about that claim, but based on my own experience with my closet case 100w, I think it might just work! I can veg out a 3×3 with it, no sweat… So with the extra 40w plus the greater efficiency, it might just work! 🤷 I would bet my life that 140w at ~2.5+ umol/J would almost be too much for a 2×2! (not quite, but you get the picture)
