    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    I was wondering about the over-driving pushing out more of the red. From what I understand those test results are at a fraction of the current the drivers I have put out so that they can sell them as high watt chips yet still claim the high lumen/w - ah Chinese marketing. If my measurements...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    By all means they could be just really shitty LEDs. these are supposedly the spectral graphs and supposedly these are 90-110 lumen/w but I personally wouldn't take either of the claims at face value. I have been dealing with very high temps and did feed them some nasty tea but at the same...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    I'm not too impressed so far but at least they are keeping me occupied. I'm running ~260w atm. I'm getting curious as to how much a UV bulb or two would help frost things up.

    Rawr Mwootens 2012 outdoor! (2nd gen , first thread disappeared)

    The dog and the duck is too funny. Sac is the city of trees? Really? I thought Chico claimed that title and honestly can think a many places that deserve it more than those two. ;) Although Sac has definitely been producing some trees in the recent years.

    First attempt at a decent grow

    As long as you keep the nutes and water going you should be fine with that amount of soil. Can't wait till post season to see your root ball :) At some point I'm going to have to go by the University up there. If it's happens to be sometime soon I might have to grab some cuttings from you.

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Oh I've been following it. My initial plan was to run a few of those between my white arrays but my supplier told me off. Still considering adding some 3w reds or some arrays to my panels though. Perhaps once I burn out on my new fish tank I'll work on that :)

    They seem like cool people but I haven't tried their gear yet. I'm a bit skeptical to be honest; for no reason whatsoever though.

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    So I failed on the update. Preoccupied with fishing and then I ended up picking up a new aquarium today. Damn craigslist and it's cheap cheap cheap stuff :) Made it back to the house just as lights off hit but I do have a casualty to report :( The dutch treat missed her watering by a half...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    I'll try and get an update tomorrow. Right now they look ok but not super amazing - they're just small. They look healthy and all that just small and I can't tell if it was the overdose of alfalfa PGRs, the LEDs, or my inexperience with LEDs. Right now they plants are also dealing with high...

    FlowaMasta'a NEW Jack H x Skunk - 1 Plant 600HPS + UVB Monster Scrog!!!

    You need to keep in mind that along with an increase in trich numbers the actual THC content of each trich also increases. Actually that's where most of the increase in THC levels takes place - on the basal disc of the resin gland where the UV rays are focused. Looks great Flowa!

    how much weed should you give 10-20 pound dog to eat?

    None... Aside from dogs not metabolizing pot the same as humans they are also not aware of the side effects. Without being aware of why the side effects are taking place your dog is likely to be much more miserable high than with eye problems. And the most common eye problem for dogs are...

    LED Party Cup Competition - Official Thread

    As this progresses the more and more I realize I have no idea what I'm doing. Are we all 12/12 party cup virgins here? Mine are small but chugging along. The chocolope cross still looks fucked but at least it's doing something.

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    You've got to keep in mind that plants don't see lumen. What's so great about LEDs is that a much larger portion of the light emitted it usable by the plants compared to HIDs. These are simplified numbers but think of it like this: 1000w HIDs emit 192,000 lumen but of which only 25% is usable...

    Green Lights??

    Plants do absorb a bit of green light and it can trigger photo period reposes. There are green LEDs that emit a very very narrow band of green light that plants are mostly blind to. There are also filters that can be used to filter out all but this narrow bandwidth of green light. I...
