    Yeah JG, I had - until I saw my payslip from last month! There's much cheaper options and unfortunately that is a a factor atm... However, Im having a headache finding the cob holders from anywhere else except mouser (and similar places) with the free shipping above €30, and as these places...

    Thats a very astute call about the auto Will, cheers. I was going to use 10 freebies from Nirvana but no guarantee of females and id feel a bit peeved if I went to the effort of an outdoor grow only to end up with a bunch of males! Nirvana do a autofem Jack Herrer, €30 for 5 beans, ill probably...

    Hey Will That looks like a sweet grow! The two words that struck me were 'super' and 'haze' :) I think GH seeds do a good haze but i also have the impression that their seeds arent the best. To be honest, i think we are truly spoiled for choice these days. The guy that posted the very good post...

    Many thanks JG. That driver plus the CXA2350 looks like it would be a sweet build. Yeah a few oz to share with friends would be cool. Im also hoping if it works out ill be able to help a friend who has desperate medical needs, being in the UK were not quite as enlightened as the US. He has a...

    Thanks guys, especially Will for the info. I feel i am treading a well-trodden path, learning about LEDs with the feeling that its a bit like the Hydra - get one part of the puzzle in place,and another 10 pop up! I have honestly spent a lot of time reading up but my understanding is still crap...

    Hi Will Yes CXB3590s are an option but they are €20 more than the 3070 which at 1400mah is around 7.5k lumens which i think is plenty for a square foot. But im interested in your 2530 set up. Did you find a driver to run all of them? Im still not 100% sure about this stuff. The voltage output of...

    Cheers Will, yes lots of options...Fasttech have CXA2530 at $10 so yes pretty cheap. Probably worth keeping an eye on them, I wouldn't be surprised if they start selling the cobs we all want!

    Ah yeah, cilantro, thats the stuff. Indispensable for a good curry...butter chicken, yeah baby!! Just supposing you did want to use smaller LEDs like the XHPs, would connecting them up to a driver be basically the same principle as how this guy does it (at around 28:10)? And the driver needs to...

    Hiya I've been growing on and off for a good few years, and ive decided to start again, basically planning a micro grow in a cab ive made, 30 x 30 x 100cm. I know thats tiny! But a) I know how it is, you start thinking 'hey, if I increase the space a bit, more light, I could do x plants' and it...
