    Favorite Tripping Movies

    I've seen Avatar (the James Cameron film) in 2-d...I'd like to take some mushrooms and watch it in 3-d. Even sober, the movie is phenomenal.

    Led Users Unite!

    In all honesty, their information is extremely suspect. I would avoid this seller and wait until you find a well-made product at a good price. The eBay one you found is certainly not worth $230 (price+shipping). Taken from the listing - "In our 2009 LED Growlight Showdown, our winner...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    I have to ask...why are you still responding to this topic? I mean, I know it's an open forum and all, but as I said before...this thread is for people who ALREADY KNOW that we want to use LEDs. Not for people who are "not convinced." If you really want to voice your opinion about whether you...

    Will do, JD. If you have pictures or can get some pictures of your grow, you are more than welcome to post them in this thread for everyone else to see. Thanks for responding!

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    I hate to say it, but that's another one of those products that just won't cut it. Judging by the Spectral Power graph on their FAQ's page, their lights may do well for vegetative growth but would be lacking in the flowering department. Also, if you read through their FAQ's, some of the answers...

    300w LED vs 1000w HPS Hydroton Drip Grow

    Will most definitely be watching. Something else I was researching is temperature differences and plant growth. The consensus that I found is that the larger the temperature differential from light-to-dark cycle, the longer and stringier the stems. The smaller the differential, the stockier the...

    300w LED vs 1000w HPS Hydroton Drip Grow

    In all honesty, it looks like it's growing how it theoretically should given the circumstances. The red and blue spectra of the LEDs are readily absorbed by the plants, and also penetrate more than the light from their HID counterparts. Because the LED-grown plants don't have to work as hard to...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    Here's a link to the dude on softsecrets forum that has done both 2x 300W setups and now is using a single 600W. Check it out to see what his results look like. Also quite interestingly, people should know that the LEDs in his experiments include the UV-A and IR varieties. I will go ahead and...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    Clearly, you are not reading some of the other posts. And what prices are you talking about? There are none listed on the website I provided. The only prices for these that have been made known are the ones I included in my first post. And heat is far from the only issue. For one, electrical...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    Well, they have exactly a 120 degree beam angle for all the LEDs used, so by using some math, you can probably figure it out. I'll take a look at it here later tonight and see if I can come up with some rough numbers. EDIT: MORE THAN LIKELY, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COVER JUST AS MUCH SURFACE AREA AS...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    Just wanted to let everyone that's following this know that I have not abandoned the idea, I've just taken some time to concentrate on some other stuff I have going on currently. Speaking of, I've been researching where and what LED grow lights to buy, since I've pretty much decided to go with...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    I will definitely let you know. I have to wait until I receive my tax return anyway before I can really afford to do anything. More than likely if this happens, it will happen around mid-February to to the beginning of March. Is anyone else out there interested at all in the possibility of...

    Bump... Anyone interested? What you see on the site is not everything they offer, fyi.

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    They are NOT the latest and greatest. If you take a look through their specifications, many of them do not include the two main spectra of light that plants require (455nm and 660nm). They typically have numbers close to these, but by using LEDs in the 470nm range, and the 630nm range, they can...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    To make YOU happy, I'll add it to my first post. Just think how much more output you could get with a 90W light (approximately the same price as your 28W) or a 120W (only $40 more for about 4x the output). Thank you for responding though, I want people to understand that LED tech IS a viable...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    No, this is not involved with soliciting. I'm not asking for anyone to pay me ANYTHING. I'm not looking to make any profit from the sale of these lamps. I simply have found a supplier who can provide a decent price for an alternative lighting solution. Speaking of which, I have no problem...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    No. The idea is buying a product direct from a manufacturer, eliminating the markup added on by a distributor. Many manufacturers will do this, but only if the demand is high enough. So the solution is a group buy -- a bunch of people get together, pool their money to afford the minimum order...
