1. I agree, people are mislead about the amount of Cree in a lot of panels 2. 1w may be more efficient at producing light than heat, but I'm pretty sure they don't produce more PAR than a 3w diode run at 2w (1w diodes also don't throw out PAR as far so you have to keep the lights closer or grow...

Actually good LED panels grow better than HPS and its definitely been proven even on these forums (look up Irishboy for starters). That said, LED has its own pros and cons to HID (80% less heat per watt but might be too cold for winter, more growing power per watt (but much more expensive in...

There are definitely panels out there where you can switch all the red/blue/white off and only run 1/3 or 1/4 of your panel if you want. I would have liked that for my 395w GLH so I wouldn't have to buy a smaller unit (so I don't waste power with the 395 on small plants), but really that would...

Why would it need to be folded? Some of the LED companies are actually run by people who grow medical cannabis in Cali, so one can believe they are trying a bit harder to make a better light for themselves and their customers

Here is what they sent me when I asked, I'll try and type some of it down since its a bit hard to read I guess. Non Toxic, safe around kids and pets. Ground water safe Microminerals: Iron, Boron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Molybdenum Macrominerals: Calcium and Magnesium Nitrogen (.15%)...

Or you could partially scoop them out and hopefully avoid completely ripping them from all their roots... Yeah just do as suggested, its not like my idea is safer...

Would it stress you more if I cut your hand off or tied it behind your back? Just because the plant doesn't seem to slow down doesn't mean it didn't, I'm not trying to be a jerk just clarifying. I know a SCROG uses a screen, I was saying a pure LST might be only tieing down the leading tip, and...

All I was trying to say that a single 1w diode can't grow better than a single 3w diode run at 2w. I don't doubt that 1w is plenty enough for people in certain situations, but no one has given any reason to believe that a 1w diode can grow better than a 3w diode I can look right at my 395w...

What do I think they are that I'm wrong? I haven't seen anything explained about why it would be easier to grow with 1w diodes than 3w diodes which obviously put out more light (but perhaps not as efficiently for how much heat). I'll admit I don't know as much about this stuff as I should, but I...

1w diodes may be more efficient at producing more light and less heat, but they are not better for growing with than 3w diodes run at 1.5 or 2w as they have a less penetration (you have to keep the LED closer because the power of the light drops very quickly). That said, I know you can grow...

Its how a lot of kids can lie to their parents with a straight face: "Son do you smoke marijuana?" "No :)" *I don't smoke

SCROG, Cropping, and topping are not LST because they are not low stress training techniques, I don't see how people could say using string is similar enough to cutting a plant. SCROG and LST are very similar though. I tie down multiple points so I'm more of a scrog than LST (which I suppose...

Did you see my previous post on the last page? I am going LST in air pots (stick a bamboo shoot through the whole thing then tie leading tip to stick) in my own Super Soil mix. Oh hey Cali great pics!

I can't tell what you are doing now, but what I do tie a short piece of string into a circle, then put it on the plant where I want. Then I take a longer string and secure it to that loop then pull it tight and tie it to something (my bamboo stick poking out of my airpots). This way I don't have...

I wouldn't ever tie a knot around a stem like that, not worth any risk when its so easy to not to:) Otherwise it looks great!

Sry, I wonder what their excuse is then for charging even more for outdated tech?

Is this the... vegan NPK in a really low amount? like 1-1-1 or less? There website isn't exactly easy to read and doesn't say anything at all about whats in it (except "minerals). Trying to find more info on the internet and I just get more and more discouraged by what people claim this stuff is...

4 Nirvana Ice in .8 gallon air pots with a 2ft bamboo shoot through each one for LST (along with a Beef Steak tomato in a 2 gallon, and some bean plants in the tiny things) Mix: FF ocean forest, FF light warrior, FF original planting mix, Black Gold, Happy Frog Tomato/Veg additive, Mykos &...

light movers and LED* *Yes they work as long as you buy from a good company, the downside is they cost about $2-3 upfront for each watt the light uses an hour (a true 180w LED should cost 360-540). The sweet part is they can grow more pot watt for watt than HID and produce about 80% less heat...

I'm sure someone managed to have mentioned it by now, but not everyone who grows smokes (some eat or vaporize)
