what were you growing in? your toilet?

This is a pretty good example: The 330w LED end up putting out just over double the blue and just under double the red of a 600w HPS.

lol you seem to be pretty optimistic about both scenarios. I think im going to try and find a tent just because it sounds less messy and much less time consuming to set up/maintain

If I can find a cheap 2x3 grow tent I think that's what ill be going with. Anyone have an idea what I should be paying for one/where to get a cheap/high quality one?

Which would be the better alternative: I can either paint my walls flat white, coat them with mylar, or buy a tent that is similar dimension to the room and place it inside? It would be for a 2'x3' if that makes a difference.

I was considering either: (1) 250w + 400w mh + hps digital ballast + hammered aluminum hood, $150 https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/89285/SUN-900514.html -or- 400w hps/mh digital ballast + air cooled hood with 6" flange, 6"in-line duct flan + 25 ft of duct, $227 potential issue is my current...

hey so im taking a majority of the lighting in my grow room and starting over. I just got a 300w LED panel which id like to pair with an HPS, im just not sure what size/brand to get... would be for about 6ft^2. any recommendations?

is there any difference between the cxb or vero? also, I don't think ill be building any diy LEDs with MORE fucking white light lol that's probably the last thing I need to have more of. I was going to try my hand at building a single 50 or 100 red, then testing multiple leds at various...

Is there a way I can tell what I have going on inside my bulbs quality wise? My skill level was definitely not anything near what it could have been, that goes without saying. Pretty important part of learning is by making mistakes though. Im surprised the plant did as well as it did...

Im proud of you my friend

Allo, est francais ta langue primaire? J'avoir du mal à comprendre ce que vous etes attachant à dire im having a hard time understanding you. If French works better, I speak it. lol

I wouldn't call it passion so much as I basically got given the lights for almost nothing :) Funny story: Someone actually anonymously gifted me a 600w hps a few weeks after I started that grow as well. Maybe I should keep promoting this ridiculous set up and people will take pity and buy me...

ill do the math on the lights for you shortly and show you exactly how much it would potentially add to my hydro bill (very little). My landlord pays the hydro either way. Man you guys have super high standards for first grows, you should post up a link to yours. *** edit: I did the math...

Also, I was thinking about doing that but just using white bristleboard instead. Would that be fine to use? It seems like itd be the best material in terms of cost, weight, and easiness to work with, no?

Most definitely have a lot of room for improvement. I cut down portions of the plant at different times so I cant give a really accurate yield number, but the final sitting there was about 100 grams of wet bud, I know that still doesn't tell you much, but whatever, its not super important really

I could definitely do much better the second time around im sure, but theres so many cool things to try out I doubt ill be using the same setup more than once for the next few grows at least. the lights I used definitely did vary a lot in terms of quality. The bulbs that were using multiple...

it was my first grow, so I didn't really realize that I was overdoing it with the vegetative cycle. I probably could produce the same plant in a fraction of the time now. Also, the plant is nothing like me. Saying that just because I need sleep, so does the plant is pretty ridiculous. I...

in my closet, with a couple 10" fans for circulation. There wasn't really enough heat being generated to warrant any cooling.

Yeah, its not very pretty. I actually came up with something different to keep the lights organized, but I definitely wouldn't mind adding some sort of reflector over the lights because im sure I lost a lot of light not having anything there.

They were actually all 2,700/3,000 bulbs. Let me take a look at my inventory list ill tell you exactly what I used 2,700k (5 lights) 1x12w 110mA 850 lumen 2x16w 140mA 1600 lumen 1x16w 145mA 1600 lumen 1x18w 220mA 1300 lumen Total Watts: 78w (35%) Total Draw: 755mA 3,000k (9 lights) 1x18w...
