    1st Waterfarm, French Cookies, DIY LED, 2X2ish

    Lmao as it happens, I learned of her affinity for leafy greens after something to that effect happened with us once many years ago. Now she knows if she's good and patient she gets a "leaf leaf" from me so everytime I'm in there, i pluck at least one for her. She also has her own bed of cat...

    Some updates - tomorrow starts week 4 of flower, stretch is in full effect. I'm doing more or less no defoliation except if a leaf is covering a bud site, I'll clear the path. I re-installed the frame for my scrog net and I'm using that to anchor some strings to pull the main shoots off to...

    Exhaust fan set up right?

    They may be conceived to accommodate such fixtures but they are also perfectly suited for use as the primary exhaust port barring one is not also trying to use said fixture

    Easiest Hydro For Noobs?

    Having personally run DWC, RDWC, Flood and Drain, DTW, Aeroponics, and now currently using a Waterfarm, for single site single plant, Waterfarm for the win, for multi plant SOG style DTW or Flood and Drain would be my recommendation. If I had a nice cold basement floor though, I'd probably run...

    @Klone00 They make a QB18 too that is 580mm btw. My build is powered by an XLG-200-24 split 8 ways parallel. At max the driver pulls 266w from the wall but I have it down at about 200w right now - I haven't tested the individual circuits so I can only guess but based off the data sheets they...

    @Just Be I was thinking some type of funnel system - pvc makes sense too, plus I already have a pvc cutter so it's a breeze to work with, thanks. Very cool man - Idk if you remember my last grow but it was a flood table converted to DTW for those reason (drift) - when it was ebb/flow i felt...

    For draining yes, but even then it was cumbersome with my tent opening being higher than the drain and not having much extra space. It was the filling part that I had a harder time with. I'm just pouring down over the hydroton for now. Is there some other obvious trick I'm missing - please...

    So tightly spaced - I'm very happy so far. She's drinking 3/4 of a gallon a day now too. It would be nice to have a larger reservoir but luckily I'm stuck home and bored so I have nothing but time to tend to her.

    I got rid of the screen bc this plant isn't really sprawling all that much so it seemed redundant. Plus water changes were a PITA with the screen. The bonus is that this lady is looking so so nice now.

    ~BLUE *Dream •WaterFARM•~

    After my last water change, I had an issue with my drip ring too on the newly designed Waterfarm. I had been cleaning the ring of salt buildup with each change-out and during re-assembly is when I had inadvertently messed it up (by pressing down too hard). The fix was much easier than you'd...

    2*2 Full Grow Tent under Mars Hydro TS1000

    I reject the notion that I came into the thread thinking it was "cool to be negative and different." There are clearly shenanigans at play here given the inaccuracy of the listing (2x2 my ass) as well as the photoshopped greenhouses. Regarding the product and the company itself, I choose not...

    Eye balling brightness

    So with life moving at a snail's pace and boredom being the mother of invention, I decided to see if my phone is working to a degree of certainty when compared to the meter. Phone = Google Pixel 3; App = Lux Light Meter Free (Doggo Apps) - measured 42222k at my canopy in the middle of the tent...

    Eye balling brightness

    Sure, I'll explain myself. Taking into consideration that at least one phone (or is it the manufacturer as a whole?) performs so questionably, why even air on the side of ambiguity when a lux meter is $20 shipped and provides significantly less ambiguity? When nobody can honestly say that one...

    Eye balling brightness

    There are a couple of examples around here showing just how inaccurate and varied the apps can be - not within reasonable margin of error at all Here's one posted recently https://www.rollitup.org/t/hlg-260qb-ideal-seedling-distance.1008139/

    Sick. Now I'm definitely going to rebuild my lamp.

    I used them as soon as the seedling went into my tent - the plant vegged beautifully too. I was worried about stretch based off of some anecdotal findings in this community however I ended up with very tight internodal spacing. Pic for reference

    Are you sure you didn't try to use 1/2"? I used 3/4" and they fit fine. I actually ran out and had to use a 1" for one heatsink and they were too long so I needed to space it with washers.

    Samsung F Strip Build

    Actually that could work really well, very nice idea man. I drilled right though the ends of my sinks and fastened them to the extrusion from the bottom which ultimately required me to place the hangers on the outer edges of the lamp, making it a tad unstable while hung. Nothing unmanageable...

    Photoboost strips are legit. If they were in stock when I bought my parts, I probably would have went that direction. Gene is a stand up guy too

    Samsung F Strip Build

    So are you using heatsinks wider than the strips or do you plan on going through the strip itself with the m5?
