Looking to restart but have a debate

[vividled]

This is gonna be a small run as I don’t want to do anything major and can’t afford to really butbwhen the time comes that I can afford to I am pulled toward to LED or QB boards or whatever their bloody called but I know for heat an electric wise they will be something I really need!!

The biggest difference is qbs create more light than they do heat.....Which cfl and hps do not sadly.
And they have a fabulous full white spectrum which plants love.

And that’s been one of my main issues is light penetration my last lot of autos which should have been small an fat where 4-5ft tall was my largest and about 3ft wife from stretch but she did yield about 5oz dry in the end off 660w HPs and the cfl but other plants were very wispy and crap thf so I know I need to invest into these boards in the future, is ma birthday next month too so maybe in a position to treat myself to my first board or two!!!

hi m8 i can get 2 oz plus every time from autos in 3l fabric pots or 3 to 4 oz in 9l fabrics soil or coco under 240w of qb type boards(not HLG),

in one of my spaces i use 4 boards in a .7m x .7m space (up to 4 plants in 3l or 3 in 9l) but you can get the same results from 2 boards with same 240w driver ,

cobs like cree, citizen or vero all work well
the qb boards with the samsung lm chips (be it 561c, 301b or 301h) work just the same , its all the same tech chip on board (COB) theres very little between all those makes ive listed
