So, for example, if you have three lights and run the center light at 80%, and the left and right lights at 100%, it would give you more uniformity across the canopy. I am only using a lux meter on my phone, but my 5x5 canopy reads 60-65k on the outside edges and 65-70k towards the center. If I...

If you wait for Arrow to do deals on strips you can build a $2000 light for like $600 lol.

USA 417 Loving my spider farmer lights, would be dope to add another!

Looks like I'm gonna stick to hand watering for a while then lol. I have a 24 carrot blumat setup I want to install at some point between my two flowering tents but I'm in no rush. Was meant more for when I travel for work and vacation, but that ain't happening til this damn rona goes away anyway...

Well I'm glad they shacked up then haha. They must be living underneath the pots as well as within the soil, cause I'm not sure how theyd come through the cloth pots. Id rather not kill them if they're not harming the plants, even more so if they're a sign of good soil and are beneficial. I dont...

No doubt. The videos are shot at about 400x, maybe more, I have a 1000x USB microscope I used to get the videos. The photo on the other hand is shot with a macro lens, the little puddle of bugs you see is probably no more than 1/3 of an inch across. They're damn small. Almost look like sawdust...

Pretty funny I actually just found a guy on YouTube that is from the town next to me who says he's had them frequently and doesn't kill them anymore and not sure if it's related, but he hasn't had PM or any mold/rot since. lol. Not sure if he knows what he's talking about but his plants looked...

Not too worried about the springtails, from what I understand they eat old vegetation and stuff and don't really pose a threat to the plants. I was told I could cause more damage trying to eradicate them than they could even cause. One person I spoke with even went as far as to call them...

All the bugs in the runoff looked like they were dead/drowned, a couple were twitching. They were most definitely not there before, I would have noticed them in the runoff... They would have been hard to miss... Pic for reference My soil was a mix of ProMix/CoCo/Perlite initially, no...

This photo was posted in the bug section where I asked about them first... They look a lot like I and N with the hairy asses.

Just for reference, you can't even see these things in the soil, they are SO small... like a grain of fine sand. I took a bunch of macro photos of the soil and I can't see them anywhere, then when I look with the microscope they're everywhere lol.

I didn't introduce any bugs at all! Where tf would they have come from? I haven't been in or near anyone's gardens.

I posted in the bugs subforum but I am starting to think that these are microarthropods... I know you fellow organic growers must have seen these before. They seem to be eating the grokashi that I topfed about a month ago. Hate double posting but I figure if they aren't bugs and they are indeed...

So I was able to get some video of these critters using my USB microscope. They weren't visible on top, but when I dug a little deeper I found them, eating the grokashi! I topfed the grokashi maybe a month ago, since then I have topfed ocean bounty/compost/basalt (in that order, basically...

They are LM301B's, no? I thought he was referring to the color temp.

Man I was running an SF2000 for veg in my 3x3 area and it was overkill, had it dimmed to 20% lol. Going to toss that into my 5x5 and put a SF1000 in my 3x3 for veg. These things are super bright. I'll have 4x SF2000 covering a 5x5 area, right now there are 3 and it's still doing very well. I've...

I decided to dig a little deeper into the soil for my next sample. I think I found something. It seems as if these "microarthropods" are feeding on the grokashi that I top-dressed weeks ago, maybe even a month ago! I have since top dressed with Ocean Bounty/Compost/Basalt... and then added some...

From what I could see in my microscope they were much like G. Very round looking.
