    Brown / orange blotches and general unhealthy looking

    Pretty new to coco and new shed setup, done one auto grow to dial in. Just finishing my first regular run, these are the clones of that run, in a 2.4x1.2m veg tent. Before today I had forgot to change the bulb in the reflector from a 1000w HPs to 600w Mh, and had been running the 1000w dimmed...

    Better light

    Just to clarify, will that Bar 6 special edition have the same wider spectrum as the Bar 8 info listed? Just noticed you had cannaspec C in the bar 8 name but not bar 6? Also is there an EU importer for Amare? These units sound amazing, two 6 bars would be perfect for what I need. And I want...

    Better light

    Both UK and EU trading standards would likely be on your side here unless they advertised real draw somewhere. You could try push it if you wanted to. Might take some time. Do a chargeback through your bank if they refuse a return.

    plants look ready early with cmh

    This was my experience with 630 between 2 1000w hps. They looked better, frostier. But finished like 2 weeks early. it sounds like a good thing but I was very skeptical of it. Figured there had to be downsides relating to cannabinoid / terpene profile. I just use cmh to veg now.

    Temperature and Humidity Monitor

    i just had a quick look at reviews on the App Store and it doesn’t look good but a lot is crashing etc so maybe be fine if it actually runs!

    Temperature and Humidity Monitor

    I would bet they are all using the same cheap internals coming from same place in China. Find out what app it uses and check out the reviews. Ultimately the apps are what separate these devices. The usability of the ones I’ve tried are terrible. Proper useless.

    Hlg or chilled tech

    Just looking at the Scorpion vs the 650R or 600 as I’m looking for two units about this wattage to replace two 1000w HPS. Im new to learning about LEDs and one thing that’s really confused me here is how on earth can the Scorpion have an advised hanging height of only 12” vs 30” + for the other...

    Does anybody know where to buy extra light hanging poles for a tent?

    Found this. https://grow-box.eu/en/grow-tent/secret-jardin-grow-tent/spare-parts/secret-jardin-handling-tube-r3-19mm-dr-150cm/a-20295-20000211 I also think Secret Jardin sell spares from their own website that would likely fit your tent.

    Does anyone use 1000w DE (Non ducted) lamps with 8 foot ceilings? I'm curious about dimming ballasts.

    My one 400v DE parabolic is that Soldigital stealth kit. The parabolic is a nice reflector. But the ballast is cheap crap. Would never recommend it to anyone. It runs an active cooling fan. Horrible whine to it. I am also surprised how few people use parabolic. It is by far the best light /...

    70x70x160cm tent. Need help setting up ventilation

    I used a 4” RVK (unsure what m3h) for my first grow in a 60x6”x160 many years ago. The extraction was so much the tent sides pulled in to the point they were pushing all around the reflector and made airflow up and out of the filter difficult. A fan controller was needed really. I would think...

    help explain what this this is Variac Auto Transformer

    That is what you are looking for. If you can afford it a fan controller with temperature probe Is well worth the investment. The SMS Hybrid options are great, think they are available in Aus. They use triac devices which is a 5 step voltage controller vs a variac which is fully controllable...

    My plant is stem isn’t thick at 78 days Of veg how do I fix

    Don’t be looking into silicon or any other supplements to throw your money away on while you are still completely new to this. It won’t help you at this point. Additives aren’t magic. They add tiny percentage points of improvement and mostly only to dialled in environments. You have more...

    Does anyone use 1000w DE (Non ducted) lamps with 8 foot ceilings? I'm curious about dimming ballasts.

    I currently run 3x 1000w SE HPS, 1x 1000w 400V DE. 7ft ceilings. About 1.5m2 each I use parabolic reflectors though. They really do allow you to get the bulbs so much closer to the plants with no heat issues. But then the parabolic shades are huge themselves, so you lose headspace that way...

    Temperature and Humidity Monitor

    How important is it to be at 25C exactly for a few hours? I am just as skeptical of my temperature sensors as my humidity ones! Also is dehumidifier water close enough to distilled to use?

    Temperature and Humidity Monitor

    Just to let you know dude. You don’t need to be in constant Bluetooth range to get all the data. The device constantly stores the last 2 weeks worth of data. And when you sync it should download anything your app doesn’t already have stored. There are a bunch of different brands of this same...

    Defoiliation in flower

    Unless you have mega penetration from a huge well lit and reflected room, I would always advise removing what usually becomes "popcorn". So all the lower bud sites. I don't get why you would remove the lower fan leafs really? Surely can only grab any of the leftover light coming through the...

    Looking for a Sativa dom strain

    How did you find Kilamanjaro to smoke? At 10 weeks ish it sounds amazing from the description. Like you say Sativas can be so varied in effects, especially landraces. I've smoked a few and done a few landrace x hybrid crosses that were wild in growth and smoke, but usually too long flowering to...

    Perpetual set up

    What’s your schedule like to keep it running? How often harvest and plant numbers etc? looks like a great wee space used well.

    Temperature question on flowering

    If you don't already have one, look into a fan controller. Will save you fortunes on heating costs. Do watch humidity after week 5 or so of flower though, better to run extra heating and keep the humidity down and air flow up for bud rot issues.

    Uses for run off?

    Probably be able to run it through a variety of filtration methods to get something usable out the other end. I do imagine runoff would clog / use up any filters far faster than filtering tap water would. But without testing methods I guess you will never really know the nutrient profile of...
