    Best color temp for veg?

    Yah, the 5&6k lights are fantastic for veg :) I was just warning against using them for flower... bcuz u WILL see a decrease in yield, compared to the flowering production you see with the 3000, 3500k lights.

    Best color temp for veg?

    Just a little (ok, maybe big lol) "addendum"... I wanted to mention how well the qb288 is doing penetration-wise (that's what she said, I know lol). Despite the eye popping efficiency ratings & PAR values, I was concerned with the HLG QB288's ability to penetrate down into the canopy. Now, I'm...

    Best color temp for veg?

    Heads up- 5000k will DEFINITELY produce lower yields than the 3000-3500k's - at least if you're using it all the way through. Fantastic for veg... definitely, without doubt, noticed significant yield reduction running only 5000k. 6500k was a joke.

    Best color temp for veg?

    Bump- just finishing up my first run of "3000k only". Using an HLG qb288. In veg, was it running it at ~70watts from the wall 2ft over head. Slowly bumped up the wattage, week by week, and have been running at ~159 watts from the wall, driver included. So I'm guessing about 145watts to the...

    3500k vs 4000k vs 5000k ?

    LEDs have no such limitation. Lights can be ordered in basically whatever color K you want. I used hps/MH since I was 17... been on the full spectrum LED bandwagon for a couple years... never looked back. Higher initial light cost, but I use ~40% of the electricity I used to, for the same...

    Swami Organic Seed co, all day long! :D I really don't think a lot of ppl realize just how special so much of his stock is. How the hell did these legends get forgotten so quickly? Lol Seriously though, not trying to highjack the thread... just thrilled with Swami's Organic Seed co at the...

    Need some good advice for using Botanicare Cal-Mag plus

    If you're running soil, a simple liquid ph kit (like $5-$10) from General hydroponics is plenty good enough. I've got my trusty Milwaukee p-51, but haven't used it more than once or twice all year (am in soil now). I just use the cheapy GH ph kit and never have any issues. But I'll admit to...

    Need some good advice for using Botanicare Cal-Mag plus

    Noooo... while an actual cal or mag toxicity may be a bit on the uncommon side, using too much cal/mag can cause major nutrient lockouts. Mag, is especially harmful to plant metabolism if it builds up in the soil. Decreases water movement, its ability to diffuse/absorb properly. You'll find that...

    Well... "CloneShipper" is a big "HELL NO!" Love the per unit price ($13.95 each), but they refuse to sell singles... and want at least 300 some odd dollars, minimum purchase... seems foolish, but whatever... I think I'll just steal their idea & make my own, since they don't want my money lol

    You know what's crazy? I'm sandwiched between Swami who's just north of me, and Jim Bennett, aka; Clackamas Coot, who's just south of me. Coot recently did a series of interviews with Tad Hundley of KIS Organics (YouTube) outside of Seattle. He flat out said that if anybody wants a cut (as in a...
