Hey, I have done a few grows with similar chips. I use the SMD5730, a bit more powerfull than the 5050 but same approach. https://www.rollitup.org/t/bucket-grow-led-strips-diy-85w-smd5730.888772/#post-12076051 Don't expect great results, but it's a fun project. Plus, since these lights don't...

Yeah, my conclusion from this grow plus your replies is exactly that, pot size really matters when growing autos. More precisely the depth of the pot is the key. I stress that in this grow I'm using a larger pot than what I'm used to use, still I ended with stunted plants. In this case it's not...

Well, if I were aiming for a plant that size I would go photo instead of auto. My bin is 1.5 feet tall, there's no way I could fit a plant that tall in there. The good part is I can carry my grow with me wherever I go :) Next time I might use photo strains, so I won't run the risk of ending...

I usually start 3 or 4 seeds at once in the final container, I don't transplant autos. When they start flowering I sort out the males and keep the girls only. Two plants grow fine side by side. I can't have multiple containers because my grow space is this, a 6 gallon trash bin: I know it...

Dynospec, based on my previous grows, where I used always the same strain in different sets the flowering period has started systematically on the 23th-25th day. I have done this strain outdoors, indoors, small pots, big pots, rich soil, poor soil, full sunshine, CFL/Led light. So, I...

Hey, When does the internal clock of an autoflowering strain is triggered? When does it start counting, when soaking on water or only after sprouting? The strain I'm used to grow usually starts flowering on the 23th - 25th day (day 1, soak on water), so I do my best to have a plant with a nice...

In the last grow the plant looked like this on the 21th day of growth. This time, the plants look like this on the 19th day: They are smaller, less bushy and leaves are tinnier. Do you think that in 2 days (when they will reach the 21th mark) the growth will be similar to the previous...

Day 16 Day 18 So, 12 days since these beauties sprouted. It seems they are developing slower than last time, even using two extra CFLs adding 38W to the grow. The two main differences in this grow: 1 - I'm growing 100% organic this time, last time I used inorganic fertilizer. 2 -...

Hello dear friends, I'm growing in a 23L / 6g plastic bucket, as I like to keep the system light, portable and stealth. For lightning I'm using 10 meters of LED strips SMD5730, which are pulling 85W from the wall. This time, I also added two CFLs 23W + 15W to increase temperature since it's...

Those are expensive I suppose? I ended getting some chinese LED strips with 5630 chips. Enough for lettuce. Somehow I managed to give those LED strips other uses. Not so bad when it's on ebay for 5$ a 5 meter roll...

What if these bulbs work well? I wonder if anyone here every tried on of these? I understand the 3070 is a safe bet but I was willing to take the risk if I had a clue from someone. Cree (?) Cob bulb

I don't know if this was discussed here before, the topic is too long now to read everything from beggining. Anyway, I wanted to asked if someone every tried these Cree COBs bulbs. Here it goes...

There was space inside the bucket for more growth, instead of more buckets it still possible to install more light inside the bucket. It would be easy to upgrade to 150W and keep the same temperatures. Also, I could use a bigger pot (more diameter less depth).

Day 58 Just harvested my plant, it has about trichomes 20% clear, 70% milky, 10% ambar. Yielded 52grams wet. For this small plant I think it is acceptable. Next grow I hope to beat that number. Half trimmed. Buds half trimmed. 52g wet trimmed

In this situation I had to bend the plant because she is not centered in the pot, if she was on the center I wouldn't need to bend her. There's no risk of touching the top lights, I think by bending her the light is better distributed. In fact, during the growth I have been using some objects...

Yeah, the bucket is small, but with 85W and auto strains there's no need for something bigger. It is 1 foot tall. Concerning the super efficient strips you would like to buy, I would keep it simple and cheap instead. If I was willing to spend more I would buy COBs instead. plimsoul, you are...

Dear friends, I'm sharing with you the results of my DIY LEDs strips SMD5630 bucket of light project. I did some experimentation with various SMD 5630 red, blue, 2700k and 6500k white. It seems the 2700k and 6500k have more impact in my plants than the red and blue combination, I tried...

Day 49 One more week before harvesting. Not so bad for 85 watts DIY set up with cheap LED Christmas lights :)

Dear all, I'm creating this thread to share with you how I managed to grow my weed on low budget, on a funny and practical way. I wanted to have a small grow set up, with minimal equipment and logistics. Basically I wanted to have my grow space fitting in the living room and barely noticing it...

Ideally I would like to have a set up where with the minimum light possibly I could get enough food for us (we are 2...) and be self-sufficient in zucchini, tomatoes and peppers, which are the most expensive and more often consumed around here. So you already have an estimate regarding the...
