    Help! Led or Hps

    Damn 4 pages and this guy has no answer, just an argument to stick with HPS? I had quad 600's running over 2x 4x8's.. Vented hoods and yeah, its still hot and needed AC. Sold em. Switched to luminus cxm22 x4 on hlg-185a-1200's. Simple aluminum rail build, active cooling was a bit more...

    Lucid Dreaming and 3D Gaming

    If you get video game flashbacks at night, I would agree that it's certainly another entry way into the world of lucid dreaming.. But not the best. You're basically getting a ton of repetitive sensory overflow, distinct from other days, and you will adapt to that environment the longer you...

    What's a simple soil recipe?

    You're getting it to a certain degree if you are using any kind of compost that has been properly cooked: mycelial network. Root symbiotic organisms. A lot of add-ons include it now. Make sure its in your mix. Add manually if you have too with mykos or similiar product.. Best to let it 'cook'...

    Vero29 gen 7

    lol. It's not that easy a question to answer. What you driving with? Space? How many you buying and building? Overall, it's a fine chip. cons imo is driver matching. Also, hard to get any decent discount on veros when you buy under <1000. 1818s and luminus seem to be best bang for buck atm.

    Anybody tried these grow chips from AliExpress?

    I get these free when buy those little ballasts from China. Absolute junk chip except for warehouse lighting / science experiments.. I like having a few cheap chips around to test ballasts, etc..

    High Pressure Sodium

    At your scale. Yes. LEDs are best. That doesen't mean they don't have any disadvantages over HPS or other light sources. HPS and Sunlight are cheaper. HPS over time is more expensive however.. I assume you prob need 600w in a 4x4 for solid ppfd#'s versus 8x cxb 3590 @1400ma. About $200 for...

    New cob light setup Citizen or vero 29S? looking for best bang for your buck chip

    $90+shipping vs $8 for fan ballast and $20 of fans, wagos and wire.. $105 vs $35 or so. Active is arguably better.. Unless fan stops to work, lol. I DO intend to build a few passive.. But active is cheaper. And fans have yet to fail on me.. I had a couple get loud (they were used)- But i...

    sexing in perpetual

    There are DNA sexing options out there, or there were. A little expensive, but for large op, prob worth it.. If you can't get good clones that is. I think it comes out to like $10-20 per plant to sex early..

    Large diy led build info PLEASE

    Bummer for WA. But, How many states legalizing this week? I've read the MA carefully. Theres no teeth in the legislation that I read for MA.. Under a lot of scenarios you can grow all you want with minimum effort (have enough patients).

    Large diy led build info PLEASE

    I can get 8-10lbs on a 4x8 per year, especially with older teens ready at crop start. 32sq ft.. This is.. 224sq. ft. 50lbs+ PER YEAR. Or these are easily his goals at that sq. footage. It's commercial. Lets not lie to ourselves. OK.. You are stuck on taking the higher risk, much lower...

    Large diy led build info PLEASE

    WHAT I SAID WAS: "Let me tell you why nobodys making LED rooms this big: If you're growing that kind of plant footage you get a greenhouse." Translated: if you have $20k to invest on lights, consider a business plan and investors and look at what you can do. -Hes not a fucking hobbyist with...

    You are my kind of people, as assuming you relate this grow to personal consumption.. Lets see.. 35-50lbs yr production estimate.. modestly say I need to smoke 3lbs per month, 1.5oz/day.. lol. ok, I'm on board snoop ;) (but where do we say commercial starts? 100lbs yr?) -This room makes no...

    Large diy led build info PLEASE

    I'm trying to figure out the nominal point where it makes sense to pursue greenhouse vs indoor.. Indoor growing seems to be about 5-10x expensive.. THAT FACT ALONE, just proves you have to look at natural lighting once you breach a rather modest sq. footage.. Or you lose the 'game' and your...

    =Reminds me of my bitcoin run. I got in early, AMD graphic carding. Initially it made no sense. At $13 it made no sense even. At $1400, WTF. The early adopters kept their lead. We had cheapest acquired btc, despite having paid most upfront for gear. And that trend continued. All of us who kept...
