    Trying to understand ROLS

    Throughout flowering I was only planning on using worm castings as a top dressing and worm teas. The aloe foliar spray looked interested also. I only want to water with water :) Is the compost and EWC together necessary? And all the teas? I hardly can remember the abbreviations! lol

    Trying to understand ROLS

    I started reading the ROLS thread before I posted but it is hard to find what I am looking for. I'm big into permaculture at the moment.

    Trying to understand ROLS

    Do you have experience with multiple plants in one pot? I was thinking a 200 Gal smart pot for my flower room with the ROLS soil. Maybe 16 or so small plants at a time harvested at different times of course. I want to start the plants in my airpots (Small starter size) until I was finished...

    Trying to understand ROLS

    Hey! I have been growing in hempy's and other homemade hydroponic mediums for quite some time now and I want to try this ROLS method. From what I have read you create a soil from a base and amendments and let it cook(age) for a month until you plant in it. And from there you are off. I...

    Another Cree CXA3070 DIY Thread

    Hmm I wonder if they are supposed to be touching the heatsink then... Ideal could do a better job with its instructions.

    Another Cree CXA3070 DIY Thread

    It looks like the wire holders are hanging off the heatsink. I was also experiencing that problem and stopped while I come up with a solution. Would you say it still fits fine? I am judging by the picture so they might not be hanging off.

    How large is the file you are uploading to the arduino? This is so massive!

    Just clear and amber trichomes, is it possible???

    I have a new theory on trichomes. This whole grow I had brand new lights but I feel my newest part of the room was the UVB reptile lights I bought. I recently watched this video and really bought into what the guy was saying about how they capture the energy and turn it into THC. So I...

    Thinking of a new light ..

    I think it could be used. It looks like it uses 3 pins?

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    You save the cost later. I have come down to this. I bought every material for a 4x4 for 1500. And since I run it lower than recommended temp by cree it will last me five+ happy years of perpetual growing so I can maintain my ounce a week routine :) I think you will be saving money later rather...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    what is the benefit of buying individual drivers for each light? Can you buy a driver that would run say 4 or 6 lights at once? If so what would be the advantages and disadvantages? You could die if you touch very high voltage wires. The only reason I don't run them all on one driver is...

    How many pins do you need overal? The thermocouple needs 3 you said? Also what is the shield for?

    Thinking of a new light ..

    I guess from what I've seen with stoners and With myself being a super stoner. We do things simple, easy and cheap and they work. I understand what the recommendation for a "Thermocouple" is. What I am saying is "Hey! You are only letting them get up to 100*C so just go with a cheap temp sensor...

    Thinking of a new light ..

    Everything I do I do with the ATTiny. They are capable of running a 50x30x3 3D array in my experience(maybe more) so if you can simplify code they are amazing! I love to code and when I smoke I sit for hours.

    I go with louder than normal fans because I listen to music throughout the house all day with surround in each room. I'll post my new design when it's done :) lol The temp resistor I had in mind was this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10988 It cost two dollars but I bet in bulk of 10 you...

    Thinking of a new light ..

    My idea of DIY is to save money. And with the arduino you could just buy a few ATTiny85(2.50 each). have each one set to a temp device next to the chip and each ATTiny to the same buzzer and have them go off at say 100degC and back on at 75degC. That way you don't need to reference only one...

    Isn't this a little over the top? Isn't the goal to grow the best weed? This is like an electrical engineering project.

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Basically what I am after is beating the HPS in yeild while still keeping my heat to a minimum. If the efficiency decreases as you pump more power into it yes it will get brighter but it will also put out more heat. I run mine at 1600mA spaced 12in apart on 14in long heatsinks. I do not have...
