If you want the best value, you're going to have to source parts and build yourself. Otherwise, you're paying for someone else's time, energy and knowledge. There is a wealth of information to be found in these threads, from design ideas, to lamp efficiency specs, heat sink profiles and...

You too, sorry for coming off so harsh, you seem like a good dude!

I would consider adding UV, but I'd probably use a T5 bulb for that. I have a 730nm flood, but that only comes on for 10 minutes at lights out. I think with the Kessils and the 3000K, I should have enough red spike.

Well, the product that my first round pumped out was fantastic, but the yield was lacking. However, I made a lot of mistakes and am pretty sure I may have given the girls a bit of a nitrogen overload last run. Not to mention, I had a couple occasions where they had some dehydration stress. I had...

My goal is to angle them in a bit more towards the center of the kessil footprint. Will work more on that tomorrow.

They're hung!

Lights are hung on the mover! Just fed a SST + Frass/Light EWC/Kelp tea, flipping to 12/12 for one week before scaling back to 13/10 the next week, and 14/10 for the next 6 with phytochrome manipulation (deep red)

If you can't accurately measure wattage draw, you've got no business packaging and selling a lamp. If you can, and are listing incorrect numbers, then you're trying to pull the wool over the consumer's eyes. A Kill-a-watt to check the wattage is only a few bucks at the store, and if someone gave...

Seriously, I don't understand how you could downplay the importance of knowing EXACTLY what you're drawing from the wall. If you're not willing to test that, don't even make the thread to begin with, you'll be flamed and destroyed by anyone with even a modicum of electronics knowledge.

The only people who plug it in and see are people who don't know enough about what to look for, check for, and expect. How to critically assess performance and functionality, in relation to the claims made by the manufacturer. If you're not doing that, you're not testing shit. You're using it...

I respectfully, wholeheartedly disagree. The purpose of someone testing is to accurately represent all aspects of the light, in an unbiased, third party manner. If you refuse to give full specs and information about the product you're supposed to be testing, it will appear as if you're...

You're testing the light, do your due diligence and fucking test all aspects of it. Don't just report half the info. If a light claims to be one thing, CONFIRM IT. Otherwise, you're a really shitty tester.

I'm intrigued! Thanks for sharing!

@SupraSPL I was wondering, if I wanted to use Heatsink USA sinks, cut to approx CPU size with a 120mm fan on it, what profile do you think would be ideal?

Is HPS your main source of light? If so, I'd say go with the Magenta, as they're going to give you more of a blue spike that you're lacking. If you're using something that's a cooler white like an induction fixture or something, go with the Reds.

Some of these new nodes are going to take off and fill up a bunch of space. I've been led to believe that this Grape Stomper OG is a heavy yielder. I let it go through the weekend (mainly because I wasn't home or sober enough to do what I needed to do this particular weekend.) They're really...

And that's a few days ago. I just added CO2 to the room, and they've really started to take off. I'll be hanging the COB bars tomorrow and flipping to flower.

Sorry I didn't continue this journal. As it was my first run, I made a lot of mistakes, namely, nitrogen overload. Didn't cut my teas enough, topdressed with compost... I will say this, the end product was fantastic, but the yield was lacking. The POG was my favorite, it just cured and smoked so...
