Thanks for all the info, ima hold off and try to build an LED eventually.Plants don't need as much light to veg, you'd be surprised what can veg plants nicely.. LEDs are great and I will eventually change all my hids over to leds but its pricey... I'm going the diy led route when I can drop 10k on the cxb3590 and the new drivers but if I were you I'd hit craigslist and buy a couple cheap 1k watt lights and rip out a couple harvests n build a bankroll before you blow your load on leds..unless you have 10k sitting around now.
My advice is hit the led section and check out the diy journals and YouTube vids.. Lotta sharp dudes on this site and they are on the forefront of growing with the latest n greatest chips. There's like 5 or 6 members here who build quality lights for sale.
I use five 1k watt XXXl magnums..air cooled and cheap to purchase.. Big 5x5 footprint but 650$ month electric bill adds up quick but its all worth it after harvest..I wouldn't waste money on nutes or co2 ..not needed and I use jacks classic, 20$ lasts a year.
damn i just loomed up that jacks classic, ima give that a go next time around.. i just spent like 400 bucks on heavy 16 full line up and from what ive been reading about jacks ... i probably overspent about 350 ... havnt harvest yet but honestly between AN, bionicare, and now heavy 16 i dnt notice much of a difference... only product ive noticed a big difference with is great white, and the silica made a dif too i suppose
i veg sme monsters under flourecents, so i would go that route and spend more on flowering power
Just finished reading on here and google and seems the way to go (Jacks) only thing is im not sure if itll b good using in DWC or hydro or if u need a cal mag supplement or anything for the bloom cycle.Plants don't need as much light to veg, you'd be surprised what can veg plants nicely..

for veg, you can buy a cheap four foot t5'sI resigned looking for something more. any LEDs you recommend for a veg room?
Yeah, you over paid for bottles of watered down nutes. I tried 3 cannabis specific nute lines just to not see a damn bit of difference with Jacks Classic.damn i just loomed up that jacks classic, ima give that a go next time around.. i just spent like 400 bucks on heavy 16 full line up and from what ive been reading about jacks ... i probably overspent about 350 ... havnt harvest yet but honestly between AN, bionicare, and now heavy 16 i dnt notice much of a difference... only product ive noticed a big difference with is great white, and the silica made a dif too i suppose

i guess off topic and irrelevant right now neway , that building ur own led.light tho is amazing idea, im debating trying to set up a vertical grow in a 4x4 and am debating making one.. its insane how much they charge
can you use the bloom booster in DWC? i read not to use the all purpose for hydroJacks is the shit! ..u won't be disappointed.
Jacks has a hydroponic line.Just finished reading on here and google and seems the way to go (Jacks) only thing is im not sure if itll b good using in DWC or hydro or if u need a cal mag supplement or anything for the bloom cycle.
I spent like 50 on some starter kit to try different brands.
How many plants for a harvest every 2 weeks do you figure?every 2 weeks won't be easy your going to need a lot of plants going in different stages, I plan on doing it 1-2 months but that will still require alot unless you only want to cycle a few per that period it wouldn't be that big of deal.
