    ALEXA TURNED ON MY LIGHTS :Accidental light during flowering dark period

    If it works for you.... To me it's just another layer of bs waiting to become an issue. But I long for cars with manual windows and locks. Less chips and expensive repairs. But analog timers aren't without fault. I've bought more of the plug-in ones than I can remember and wasn't fond of any...

    do you even need jars/ buckets to cure?

    I have a closet in the basement that I hang plants in, sometimes leave them there for months. Ready to smoke as they hang after a while. Humidity stays a bit higher in the basement than the rest of the house. Doesn't get low until the ac runs in the summer, I grow in the winter.

    Most vigorous high yielding strain youve ever grown?

    Pulled 20oz from a useful seeds diesel (not sure which s1). Growing 2 plants per light using a 5x5 scrog, that plant grew like wildfire and took 60%+ of the area. My highest yeilder ever but it was my first scrog

    Hps bulb???

    I've been using a vivosun or ipower digital ballast for a couple yrs and its working fine. About the spectrum....they're from china, I wouldn't necessarily believe any descriptive or tech specs they give. And quality control of the chicom bulbs....pfft. they manufacture them, ship them...

    Hps bulb???

    I will say that I did have trouble getting bulbs that worked from the cheap china bulbs. Order a 2pk and only 1 lights, that's happened to me twice with the 1k lights. Another time I ordered a 400w hps and it wouldn't light, had to exchange then also. I just see the extra expense of buying...

    Hps bulb???

    I've played around with ipower and vivosun 1k watt bulbs. I usually use a hortilux bulbs and side by side there's no comparison...the hortilux seems brighter and more yellow than both. But recently I bought some ushio or oshio bulbs that I've never used before. I think they are even brighter...

    Dispensary Strains

    What's the quality of the buds coming from the shops? Do you grow also? We went to Colorado when they went legal and were fairly let down with the buds we got.

    Found out where I'm going for my organic matter

    Looks like a park. They probably chemically fertilize and apply chemical herbicides annually. I'd buy a bag of topsoil and the home center. For what it's worth.... my lawn soil analysis shows very little organic matter in the soil. It's a fine crumbly clay soil.

    Are reflective walls really worth the hassle?

    I did mylar once over a whole room ceiling and all. Had white paint before that. Moved and painted the new space bright white. Can't say I notice much difference between the two. But the mylar wasn't cheap

    How do I build a hlg 660...or equivalent?

    Hlg quantum boards are on sale and I'd like to replace a 1k watt hps. How could I cobble something together? Basically I'm looking for a blueprint. What panels paired with what drivers? I'm no math wiz sorry.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    What would be a good build to replace a 1k watt hps? Sorry to ask such a rube question but LEDs are kind of an enigma to me. Almost jumped into cobs a few years back, kinda glad I didn't now. I recently bought a hlg 135w quantum board kit and am pretty happy with it. Really bright Cob kits...

    Inline fans

    Got an 8" hyper fan on a filter in the grow area, I'm really happy with it. Bought a 4" china brand /w filter from Amazon for the smoking area and it easily produces 2x the noise.

    long term storage

    Use what preppers use for long term food storage. Aluminized mylar bags, drop an oxygen absorber (food grage) into eack one before sealing with an impulse sealer. This process doesn't vacuum before sealing but I try and gently compress the bags before sealing just to reduce the air in the...

    Hortilux Eye Dual Arc Bulb

    I run 1k switchable mag ballast and usually run sun bulbs (never the dual arc though..$$$) I've never had complaints. But last time I bought bulbs the ushio bulbs were cheaper than hortilux, I'd been wanting to try them anyway. They are bright as fuck, I believe they outshine the hortilux...

    There's no more glowing review for an expensive light than all the threads I see about issues with the "cheaper option".
