    Another strips or cobs thread

    I know I know there are quite a few of these. In this instance my question relates to a more specific circumstance. A friend has asked me to build him an LED system to replace his 2 x 600w hps system which will live in a 4x4 tent. He regularly ends up toasting his tops buds & has seen how...

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    From memory I picked up thee 10k resistor thing from the Growmau video quite a while ago & have been doing it as standard ever since. Makes sense what you guys are saying. I am going to be wiring up another one shortly so will leave out the resistor & see what readings I get. Thanks for all the help

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    I put a 10k resistir in as I had heard that cheap potentiometers had a habit of shorting out completley when switched down to the lowest setting. The 10k resistor is meant (from my uderstanding) to keep the lights on at 10% should the potentiometer die.

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    Not looking to dim a driver to 0%. Never was. Simple point: I have lots of HLG drivers. Not unhappy with them. None dim to 10% which I was under the impression they were meant to. I started this post to help with troubleshooting. As pointed out in the very first post I suspect the use of...

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    This relates to hlg: 120h-c1050b x 1 60h-48b x 1 120h-c700b x 1 240h-1750b x 3 I know the wattage being used as I have plug in wattage meters. I'm not overly focusing on dimming. I am growing bud at the moment quite happily. I'm not sure why some people's answer to a reasonable question is...

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    Cheers @canadian1969. I do have a multi-meter stashed somewhere. Will have to find it & blow off the dust! Has anyone tried 1-10v dimmers with the HLG B range?

    HLG B drivers not dimming down to 10%

    Morning all. Hoping someone more learned can help me out with this. I have built a number of cob panels using HLG B drivers. I have recently just completed my 2nd Samsung strip build also using HLG B drivers. In general, all good but the one thing I have noticed is that none of them actually...

    What do you think? Will she pack on the weight or nah? 26F Gorilla Bomb tops are getting leggy

    Different strains bulk up at different times. Grow style & nutrient profile can also have an effect on how quickly a plant buds up. I've read a few grow reports of gorilla bomb & most have said it's a leggy & stretches a bit. As long as she is healthy & you're environment is dialled in you are...

    what kind of led YIELDS are you guys hitting?

    I've literally just pulled a 1.5gpw yield which is my best to date. That was 25watts per square foot. I have heard of a couple of people getting close to 2gpw & a few others who claim to get over 2gpw. I'm obviousley doing something wrong!

    Pwm 0-10v led controller

    @Randomblame when Greengenes updates you on the shipping costs would you mind posting the cost or letting me know. I'm in the same boat, ineterested in the product but not based in the US.

    Autopots, going on vacation

    Done both & now just stick with autopots. With dwc you can't leave them to their own devices. Really you need to attend to them daily. With autopots you can at a stretch leave them for a week unattended. DWC will give you higher yields but is a lot more complicated.

    Best c99 female seeds uk ?

    I've not personally had experience with Moscas C99 BX1 but I have seen quite a few reviews. Most seem to say it is very good, that said I have seen a few that say it is nothing special. On the whole though most have rated it. Hope that helps.

    Best c99 female seeds uk ?

    I have seen peakseeds mentioned a few times for c99 but unfortunately they don't offer fem seeds. For those with limited space reg seeds are not an option.

    Best c99 female seeds uk ?

    When it comes to a female C99 supplier you really have limited options. The best bet is Female Seeds which are stocked by most seed banks or you can buy direct from them. Brothers Grim (original breeder) has re-released this strain but most grow reports have come back saying that they are not...

    How much light do I need?

    This is what 8 x cobs running at 200w total in a 2x4 will do. That's day 35 of flower. I did have my lights at 300w for the first couple of weeks & burnt my plants so they have been getting 200w ever since. Bar the slight burning & bit of over feeding they are shaping up nicely. Like others have...

    How much light do I need?

    I grow in a 2x4 space with 8 x cxb3590's. 200w would do it (25w psf). On the grow I have going at the moment I did start of running 300w in flower (37.5w psf) & after a couple of weeks started getting light burn on the top most leaves. I have since played around with various wattage settings &...

    Ripper Haze from Ripper Seeds

    The one I grew was generally pretty easy to grow. No issues with light & could take large amounts of nutrients. I just yellow tipped it a tad in flower. Other than that, all good. I tend to think it was just the pheno I had. I expect if you popped a few of these & did a pheno hunt you would...
