    Dirty air dump room

    I'm planning out my space, and considering my air cleaning options. The room is approx 15x10, and what I'm thinking about doing is running a carbon filter in the room, and exhausting into a dirty air room with an ozone generator before exhausting out, but from my understanding of ozone...

    Confused 4000k/850nm T5's for veg or not?

    You're thinking about making the induction jump too, huh? Have you seen or met anyone first hand using it? I finally met my first real person using induction (read: not online) and he loves it. But you really should look at those pontoons, they are putting that 660nm in there for a reason. The...

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    Shit, I'll have like 4 threads going once I get started! One for the mover (but in all fairness, I think I found the schematic here, it just never got finished by anyone from what I could gather) The threaded rods are essentially the drive screw, but since these are side lights, I can't really...

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    I'm using these as sorta side lights as supplementation to a 5000k full spectrum induction bulb fwiw!

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    100% agreed. I have military level training in component side work, as well as holding a couple certifications at one point. That doesn't mean I can engineer a complex circuit, though. I can read through schematics and build something with the proper instructions, and confidently handle the...

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    Well, what do you wire those AC wires into? a 3 prong power cord that you just run to an outlet?

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    I want to see how you connect it all into the junction box! I planned on using vinyl fence as well, but it looks like you're using the posts, where I want to use the actual railing. This appears to give a bit more room inside, I like it a lot! Great work! I'll be throwing in some 630, 660, and...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Thanks for weighing in, guys. Looks like I'll be ponying up for those CREE's after all. Can't wait to show you my design expansion on Westnewton's rail setup. Buying all the parts within the next couple weeks, I'm still re-mediating the space after we got hit with some massive flooding a couple...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I, too, would love to hear... almost 50% cheaper? How does it stack up in efficiency and reliability will be the true question. I like that price difference a lot...

    Mainlining - Grow 3

    That's probably one of those things you need to do regularly, and the health benefits aren't really going to be really really pronounced at first. You know, like working out...

    Mainlining - Grow 3

    Just showed up to the party, think I'll stick around a bit! I too hear great things about juicing the leaves. I think you need a masticating juicer to get the best mileage out of the leaves.

    Let's talk lighting schedules (12/12, 11/13, etc)

    Thanks for all the input everyone. Sounds like the idea we were discussing is mostly stoner talk... So, like, what if we...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    From what I've gathered, a mix of availability and efficiency, but the 2700K seem to have a slightly more desirable spectrum.

    Transplanting Question

    12 x 5 is the plan, 400W EFDL (x3, 4x4 footprint), and a rail (x2 on a mover, going 2ft each way from center) of 200W COB CXA 3070's @ 3000K (spaced 1ft apart, to cover 4ft in length) on each side to extend that footprint to a 5x4. Once I get the lights built, I'll be measuring to make sure I...

    Transplanting Question

    So, if I were to be using clones, just throw em right in after they take root? That's what was suggested by my friend who heard the ripping... Yeah, I plan on scrog'n the shit out of it and maximize my yield with only 6 in flower. It will be largely strain dependent, but I am shooting for...

    Flowering with HPS and LED high wattage - Best setup

    I plan on running an induction/COB LED combo setup. I feel like it's going to give me the cool blue of a CMH and the benefits of a 3000k spectrum, while targeting a couple other areas where HPS is lacking, and I'm even going to run 730nm lights out bars... LED is here to stay.

    Flowering with HPS and LED high wattage - Best setup

    Some people will never get with the times. GG showed that it can be done. There are others showing it can be done as well. While I'd agree that 95% of the chinese LEDs can't hack it in flower, I think these CXA3070s are proving that they can deliver.

    Transplanting Question

    Alright, going to get my gnewb on here... I'm wanting to go into 15gal fabric pots, ultimately, but I want to minimize the number of times I need to transplant. From a couple accounts I've gotten from friends using fabric pots, it can be a real pain (said they heard roots ripping) trying to get...

    Do I need to flush?

    If you haven't been using any salt based nutrients, I'd say you're fine. If they only started flowering 10 days ago, you've got a bit of time before you even need to think about that. Regardless, sounds like no.

    ChloroBA C2 LED grow light

    I was looking into these in November, and I was quoted in the mid 300's.... Then it was 1500, and they kept emailing me asking if I wanted them, after I told them I'd rather wipe my ass with the money than give it to them for a single light at that price, especially after they offered the lower...
