    Anyone use Mars II LED?

    Don't buy Mars, it's a ripoff. You can easily get 1.5g/w with LED's. It isn't rocket science. Those LED brands that aren't clear with their PPF/W shouldn't even be mentioned in a horticulture forum imho. Watts and lumens doesn't measure what your plants need. This is a fact, not a theory. Peace.

    Samsung F564B Linear Strip Build

    btw, looking at your metal: is that u channels on every strip, 2 inch width and ~ 2 feet long? yes. and for the frame, the sides area also U channels or L? yes. and the center between the 2 strips, is that just a flat long aluminum piece? yes.

    Plants growing slowly

    Your plants are fine. Keep your VPD in balance, watch out for pest and diseases and don't overfeed.

    Seedling Nutrient Burn

    Plants have fully recovered. Advice to other growers with the same problem as me: - Don't give nutrients in the first weeks. - Don't soak Jiffy's in nutrients solutions. - Be patient, everything is going to be fine. Peace.

    Samsung F564B Linear Strip Build

    Hello guys! These LED's are great! I did 1763g with 900W, that's 1.9g/w! This was my 2nd grow. I still have much to learn. Definitely 900W is too much, plants suffered from light stress. I will dimm it to 750W in my next grow and maybe buy a PAR meter. Thanks for all the support! (pictures...

    Seedling Nutrient Burn

    Hello! I started a new grow 12 days ago. Everything was fine till I had the stupid idea to wet my Jiffy's in a nutrient mix (Bio Rhizotonic + Bio Vega) for germinating my seeds. As soon as they germinated they started to show signs of nutrient burn and the growth was stunted. Is there any...

    Water Filter or RO Filter

    How long can a RO Membrane last? It's rated for 6 months and costs 80€. Could it last longer with my low ppm water? http://growmaxwater.com/replacement-water-filters/26-power-grow-500-high-flow-150gpd.html 80€ every 6 months seems expensive to me. I have 9 plants in 5-gallon smart pots.

    Water Filter or RO Filter

    This is my first organic grow. I like to keep it simple. I will be using BIO CANNA Terra + Nutrients (Vega&Flores + Rhizotonic + Boost), TNC MycorrMAX and molasses.

    Water Filter or RO Filter

    Hello! I'm going organic my next grow and I'm going to buy a water filter to eliminate chlorine and other contaminants. I have seen both water filters or RO filters. My water has 0.2 EC or (with calculator) 140ppm. RO filters have more features but they also waste water and have a higher...

    My grow is reaching the end of flower. This is week 6. Next time I might grow only one strain instead of different strains. Those hazes are really tall!

    CV Driver Efficiency

    Hello! I have a question about how we re efficiency on CV Drivers. In CC drivers we can only dim Amps and by logic this will affect the driver LOAD (Io = LOAD). So if I wanted to know my driver effiency at a certain LOAD, I just need to analyze EFFICIENCY vs LOAD graphic. In CV drivers we can...
