    Is my LED working properly?

    Hiya, I got a new 200W full spectrum 4 bar lamp and im not sure its working correctly. I know they arent super accurate, but my android PAR meter gives a reading of 980umols at about 25cm. Does that sound about right? When i first set her up im fairly sure i couldnt look directly at the light...

    Effect of AC unit on humidity?

    Cheers. But an ac unit has warm air coming out the back which needs ducting to remove it correct?

    Effect of AC unit on humidity?

    OK thanks. The dehumidifier I have lowers RH but raises temps so I should replace this with an ac unit to kill two birds one stone. Cheers!

    Effect of AC unit on humidity?

    Hiya Im gonna run my tent through the summer. It can get pretty hot here, 95°F+ isnt unusual so i plan on buying an AC unit and im wondering what effect this has on humidity. Quick google say yes AC units will lower RH which is good. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!!

    When to replace QB?

    Hi, As per title, I've used my basic QB288 for about 7/8 grows now. I know they say the last for 500000000 hours or something but I'm just wondering if it's time for a new one? Cheers!

    Bars or boards?

    Hi Is one better than the other? Diodes are diodes right, if you have some 301bs and some 660s, 730s etc in whatever configuration it shouldn't really matter right? Everything seems to be bars in favour of boards, I just wondered if there's any reason they perform better? Thanks!

    Hmm not quite the same spec: 301b 3/5000k mix x 424 660 red x 112 UV395 x 4 IR730 x 4 You can control the spectrum with remote control. I am FAR from an LED expert but this looks pretty nifty to me;
