Dangit I knew your name looked familiar, you are always winning the lights I am eyeing lol

Yeah gotta keep the temps up with led for sure, my flower room is sealed and has its own ac an dehu, but my veg area uses the same air as the rest of the house. Since its in a basement it gets into the low/mid 70's sometimes and the plants under cmh still do okay but the ones under led's grow...

Did you win the spider farmer G1000? I was actually going to order 2 of those right around 4/20 but there was some issue with their site saying they werent available in my country so I picked up a couple grow pros hm960's locally for a little less money. Needed to flip my room over and didnt...

Awesome, I got the Phantom one so I think it is probably pretty similar to the hydrofarm. I tested it against a SpotOn par meter and the results were very close! I totally agree that while it maybe isn't scientific grade or whatever its a super useful tool for dialing in or comparing lights...

awesome man, I had to google red seal carpenters as we dont have that in the states, looks like its similar to our apprentice, journeyman, master carpenter system? I went with the C&H unit, uses a lot of the same parts as the mr cool but doesn't offer the precharged linesets. Figured I would...

I looked at those, have used them in some construction projects, great in 3rd floor bedrooms with sloped ceilings/ dormers that limit available locations for a wall mount. Fujitsu makes great equipment but was out of my price range for this install, they would have been my first choice otherwise...

Thanks for the reply, sorry I have been totally swamped with work and battling a broad mite issue, so I hadnt logged on here in a couple weeks, but I went ahead and got the 24k C&H unit, mostly because I needed to be able to install it myself. However the outdoor condenser is huge for a 24k, at...

Yeah I hear you, those 3 tons are heavy for sure, had to help lug a 3 ton unit up 3 flights of stairs and through a window onto a back roof years ago and I think my back still hurts. That might be the reason I seem to have some strange aversion to going bigger than 24k, since I will have to do...

I went back to that same store on tuesday to check them out again, ended up getting a couple "grow pros solutions" 660's plus the extension bars instead. Not anywhere near as sexy as the misfit colossus though, that purple anodizing is sick. I think the super wide coverage of the growpros with...

I saw a video on youtube where the spectrum king guy said they were American made, that and the fact that their other lights are american made is what I was going off, if you google spectrum king phoenix it will come up.

I snap up lights and other gear on CL and fb marketplace all the time, lots of people start growing and then give up or lose interest a few months or a year later. 600 is reasonable for used gavitas in my area, although not such a deal that I would be rushing out the door. I would be more...

yeah there are going to be some bends in the lineset that might be a little tricky, I was just planning to go slow and careful, I have a conduit bender but was going to check and see if there was something more specific for the smaller copper tubing of the mini split linesets. No, drivers are...

not really, I am removing a couple blocks from the walls for my dehumidifier supply and return ducts but I would need more and larger ducting for the mini split. I am renting this space from a friend so I would rather not cut any more holes in the block than the ones I just mentioned. For those...

yeah I went with 6k watts as just a sort of round number and to give me some leeway, the total wattage of the led's is 5140. I cooled it with a 18k window unit last fall/winter and it worked fine, so I figured getting a 24k unit would give me some more leeway as I got much more efficient...

I guess its possible, I dont have any inside information or anything, or any experience with the phoenix model at all. They do advertise the phoenix as being made in the USA, I guess it could certainly be a case of "assembled in the usa from global materials" like an Ipod used to be. Its...

Get a can-fan, hyper fan, or a vortex. I still have the very first 6" can-fan I bought back in 2009 and it still works great. I have a couple old vortexes too, also great fans. I have never had a hyper fan but everyone I know who does loves them. I think the 8" only pulls 75w and they are fully...

looking at 24k btu mini splits to cool a 12x15 flower room running 6000ish watts of led+cmh, I have narrowed it down to a couple of choices, either THIS 21 seer wall mount unit by Aircon, or THIS 20.5/21.5 seer unit from cooper & hunter. Looks like they both use the same CMGG Toshiba compressor...

Oh no way I saw that misfit grows 700w light today at a local hydro store when I stopped in looking for the spectrum kings, the UV channel is badass

yeah from what I have noticed with the led's I have so far is that as long as its a quality product from a reputable company (has independent testing of its lights/ is dlc listed) then what really matters is the output. the spectrum kings put out more light than the gavitas, and in my somewhat...

I hadnt seen those spectrum kings before, just their older sk series lights, but those were great lights for their time. If I were you I would get the spectrum kings and save the money, I am going to look further into those lights myself. spectrum king just does Led lights so its not as well...
