Thats the idea some people got, but really it was mostly for chemical nute growers to help rid their growing medium of salt build up. If you wash out certain nutes too quickly the plant certain operations go into lockdown mode because suddenly there is no food (or like with the vitamins, certain...

Wiki says its readily uptaken in the plant, I'm not one who believes flushing removes anything from the plant (it only removes stuff from the growing medium). Flushing can actually lock stuff into the plants even worse when they can't get certain resources they need to operate properly (kinda...

I wasn't aware that 1w diodes were run that high, but for how many of the 12 wavelengths people seem to have settled on? Mike from GLH has told me the case is that different companies have wavelengths available at different max ratings (1 or 2 or 3w) and some must be run at a lower wattage (ex...

Well I think there will always be some amount leftover and to me that is not worth the risk. But in reality I don't know enough to say if the amount (depending on how much you use) will remain in flowered bud, hell it probably wouldn't be all that bad with how beneficial the cannabinoids are and...

What? Please explain more clearly, is that a quote from an LED seller? Spectra sounds like it might be talking about GLH but they haven't made any 600w since sometime last year or sooner (perhaps back then they weren't as forthcoming about it as they've been since September 2010). The new line...

Among the many things spoken of on its wiki page and in the summaries of a single google inquiry, it kills bees and is a big suspect in CCD :(. "Imidacloprid, which is a systemic pesticide, is readily taken up by plant roots and translocates up into the plant leaves, pollen, and nectar via the...

Spent about 10 seconds on google, doesn't sound like a good idea bro...

Why not just cut the crap that doesnt get enough light so energy isn't wasted on growth down there? Also saves $$$ and electricity, possibly new hardware, etc Or grow LST/Scrog? You could always bend a plant pretty far over right before or while you switch to 12/12

Oh sorry, I was confused (thinking of 50w per sq foot HID standard and what it would take in LED to match that for your space) if you're only looking to replace a 600w HID aim for 400w of LED from a good company (actual LED cannabis growers claim up to 30-40% bigger yields watt for watt over HPS...

Oh man now you're as confused as I am! :P No my panel only uses 395w, it has the same number of 3w LEDs as the new growledhydro 500w (which uses about 505w) but mine runs each at a lower wattage. Your 550w panel uses 420w give or tax up to several watts, the blackstar 500w uses about 270w, and...

What do you mean stronger unit? Accourding the hydroponics hut website your light only uses "Power Consumption: 385 - 420w (full illumination)" which is less than 550w. But I think it might be an old typo. I sent them an email asking for clarification of the KWH rating for their '550w' panel...

well growledhydro is very damned close, they actually rate them for 5-9 watts less than they actually use so that their name can end with a 0. Hey do not defend them, they mislead you plain and simple because they know people will assume that it uses as much power as they named it by and not...

It says right on the 357 selling page near the bottom they only use about 180w. And you can do the math for yourself like I did, find some pics/videos of the new blackstar 500w and it definitely is misleading They get their 500w from going "Oh hey the panel has 168x3w diodes = about 500w!" Just...

Plus one could use Mykos, made a huge difference for me and I didn't even use as much as was told to. Great LED + Mykos = INTENSE VEG I could easily see someone doing more than a couple oz with a gallon of super soil and some mykos under a good LED

Yeah dude blackstar basically lied, how much did they charge you? 500w panel only has 168 3w diodes run an average of 1.5w Your new 500w panel with fans would only use 270w (fans are probably 18w or so). Also those 357s according only use 180w So what looked like well over 1100 w may only be as...

I like the product, no complaints except they don't appear to have made the move to using the tech that makes it so when 1 LED dies you only lose power to that 1 LED. That was a big reason why I bought from the company I did, at the time only 1 other company did it (but the one I chose used 3w...

What are the true wattages of these panels you are using? When you say another 500 watts do you mean HPS or of LED panels? Because most LED companies tell you the wattage rating of the diodes x the # of diodes and give the result as the wattage rating (even though most LEDs are only run at half...

I'm having that problem with some of the soil in a little tomato grow on the side of our front porch. The soil is too full of clay or something so if it rains a lot too quickly it can start to pool on the top and I have to poke it with a bamboo stick a bit. My mistake was burying the ocean...

I don't know enough to build my own, but I do think I know enough to say it isn't worth the time/money/effort unless you plan on making a lot of units or starting your own business selling them (like many others have). If you decide to buy brand names, I would recommend Blackstar units that use...

If I were you I would flower with all the lights on. On my LED the white diodes actually put off 3 wavelengths, a red, a blue, and green. So it may be quite worth it to keep them on, some flowering panels out there work great and they use only white crees. If the plant can use the light in veg...
