Pretty sure people have entered bag seeds before. I can't foresee it being an issue this time. Thank god thats the end of that.

Lock tight seems like a bit of overkill to hold down some cobs... I've yet to have a cob screw wiggle lose on its own.

So I have some seeds that I got from the girls I entered for round 7, I'm debating popping some of those or some mystery seeds I got from a local yocal. What do you guy's think?

Last round went really well with narry a bit of drama. Really the 6th comp went super smooth once you left. The issue is you, not frozenchosen, not the cup, but squarely on you. This was supposed to be a somewhat informal contest between online buddies. Not a hard core competition like the...

Drill press or hand drill? My favorite is a #43 mechanic length, HSS, TiN coating. Mark the spot where you want to drill with a punch, helps starting considerably. Slow and steady wins the race. Better to think about precision when drilling holes rather than speed. Also, dont us masonry...

Regular flapper wheels and stainless steel wire brushes are ideal for finishing aluminum. dont cross contaminate by usingyour tools on mulmultiple metals. Label the tools you use 'aluminum only' and only use those on aluminum. Especially if you ever have to weld on the aluminum, contaminates are...

TiN coated drill bits and taps are great for aluminum. Consider investing in a cheap drill press from hf TOOLs they're good for this. WD-40 for a cutting lube. Works great cleans up easy. I've seen others using propylene glycol for water soluble lube. Worked great when I had to drill 104 3.75"...

Ive been digging phantek fans as well. Sometimes cheaper than noctua.

Well let's see what comes about this time. Got an experiment.

wow the yields this run are out of this world. Quick drive by vote. 1: Frozenchosen 2: Stangrows 3: PSUAGRO

Nice, wish I had something to contribute. My experiments have been encountering setbacks. This is exactly what the community needs though.

I don't think there are any DE CMH bulbs around yet. Just normal MH/HPS IIRC. Last I read beta test team over on icmag was a big fan of the cycloptics greenbeam reflectors. Those are around $500 each on their website. No idea what wholesale would be but still, adds up quickly.

Maybe not on electricity expenses for the lamps themselves. However you will save on things like replacement bulbs, labor replacing bulbs, servicing reflectors, and an overall reduction of load on the HVAC systems in place. These cobs experience very little output depreciation at the temps and...

I have some new tricks brewing for next round. Can't wait.

You guy's still screwing around with cups in here? :P

I found one relatively quickly without a link. Hell didn't even have to look, one was suggested :P. Look like nice little units for a cheap build. Claims 93% efficiency, pretty neat little unit. PDF download link

Depends on what quality you're wanting specifically but yeah it can be done. More consistently too since grow rooms don't have clouds or seasons.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. The reason is because they CAN. Most likely those individuals have an inquisitive mind an enjoy exploring the options available. To see what results from tweaking with the spectrum. Answer me this question. Why 3000k cobs? Why not 6500k for flowering...

Holy crap, mad props.

No, that's just a rough estimation of the average ppfd within that space. The edges would be lower, though as to how much I cannot say. A 1kw hps would produce a ppdf figure of about ~3300 in six square feet. So yeah, the plant under the plant would be dead before too long :P
