    far red LED for flower initiator?

    I dont think a far red pontoon is going to work if the sun is still shining when your Pfr phase is over, dude.

    Monster PC Grow - Need Advice

    ^^ this.... sry but its a dumb idea (no flame). Youre basically paying over for a metal box, and its hardly gonna look less suspicious - it doesnt even look like a computer. Your friends will think you're making a dirty bomb or something. Also, your friends just look in your shit? WTF? I think...

    DIY LED 220w Cree XTE + Philips ES

    Its actually really, really easy! :P Once you have solder paste (which is kinda expensive but lasts for ages) - i use EDSYN CR44 - you can do it with an upturned clothes iron.

    Chronikool'z Stripped lite Peep Show™

    Youre gonna seed Big Bang? I hated that strain...granted i only ran a single plant. But still. It annoyed me at every turn and took significantly longer than better producers to finish.

    DIY LED panel not working properly, need advice.

    Do you have a multimeter? Sounds to me like the thermal slug might not be isolated or sometihng like that. If you have a multimeter (which you should as they cost pennies and are hella useful) you can do some diagnostics.

    What's the Skinny with Epistar LEDs???

    Seem to remember SDS saying that the patents for epistar LEDs were sold or something? and so lots of asian producers are making them based on the original designs? This might have actually been bridgelux so :3

    630nm:660nm ratio?

    My point was that you cant say "this grow has no 660nm and is good, therefore no 660nm is good".

    Brotherjericho's stupid questions about DIY and such

    personally i see no reason to not include deep red. Its another wavelength which is photosynthetically active and zero risk of oversaturation/bleaching. edit: misread, oops, personally i tihnk you need to add more deep red, but certainly not "all" deep red. The goal here is to spread your...

    Brotherjericho's stupid questions about DIY and such

    i run my LZ-1 reds at 1000ma. :3 With adequate cooling its fine to drive at max current. Yes im sure it will shorten their lifespan a little, but i dont think its significant. Cooling is the main thing.

    Self-made LED panel general discussion

    I have no idea how you came to be in this thread kosher, its over a year old :D Take a peek round the LED section, theres plenty of DIY guides but sadly its not as easy as just following instructions (sourcing parts, LED selection, etc) unless you want to do a "pseudo-diy" assembly from a...

    Brotherjericho's stupid questions about DIY and such

    far red = ~730nm, you mean deep red which is ~660nm. If i were to use blues in any panel they would be driven at lower current and wide beam angle as i said. However i dont think they're necessary at all in most situations and probably wont use any in my next flower panel. I'll use a few cool...

    Brotherjericho's stupid questions about DIY and such

    I would use a mix of both personally, if they would be driven at the same current or on separate drivers. I have the R3 bin warm white XTEs and like them, but havent triedt he luxeon ES WWs. I also notice you said you'll be using royal blues, will you be driving these at a lower current? and...
