Good question heh. I guess I've wanted to believe that the problem was with the buckets, the soil, or the nutrients. I feel like I should be using 5g buckets instead of 3.5g. I've also read that FFOF is a 'hot' soil. I've also had a hard time gathering real solid info on the proper use of EJ...

Of course...I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. I just meant to say, generally speaking, I am aware that over watering is far likelier than under watering. If what I described still sounds like possible over watering, please let me know. I meant it when I said "I'd like to think its...

I experienced over watering when I first started growing and I'd like to think that is not the issue. I give them a little over a half gallon each watering, which is enough to allow some run off. I wait until the top few inches are completely dry and the buckets are light. I actually only...

Hey all, so you can see in the pictures that my plants are experiencing some random discoloring and droopy leaves. I have looked up the possible nutrient related issues but after a bit more research I am starting to think they are just rootbound. Hoping to confirm this and get some possible...

I've been talking with Dan from Timber and our conversation is pretty much as long as this thread, hah.

Mixing would be nice. Timber doesn't offer 2700k but they do offer 1750k. I would consider mixing but I am hesitant just in terms of the layout. With 4 cobs, one in each corner, it seems smarter to just stay consistent and have uniform lighting throughout the tent. I am currently inquiring...

I'm not sure what the CRI is on the 1750k for Vero. I want to say the others are 80 but I'd have to confirm. So is the lower intensity worth it? Or am I better off going with 2700k or 3000k, with slightly less red but more overall intensity?

That is exactly why I post these things, so people can tell me if it makes sense or not. ;)

It does look like Vero offers a 2700k cob. Perhaps Timber is able to offer it. But yeah, assuming I get 4 cobs total, what would be the best arrangement for blooming?

Ok, well assuming it's been tested and not a myth, (not that I actually think it is, but data always helps convince) would 3k be considered ideal? There is an option for 1750k for the Vero setup. Would 2 and 2 make the most sense? I have heard 2700k come up as well but I don't see it as an...

Hah, not sure yet. I was actually considering the Vero 29 400w setup on Timber. I don't know what the difference between 90 and 80 is (I don't even know what it means). However, either way, I am glad that a 3000k light is still hitting the full spectrum. I didn't know how it worked and I...

So, to answer one of my own questions...a 3k kelvin light does appear to reach the majority of the spectrum, just like other lights, but in different ratios.

Heh, I don't disagree! The cost seems worth it, and its only another $15-20 for shipping the larger item. The only reason I am hesitant to do it is, again, spectrum. I need to get some more solid information on the Vero setup (and what it doesn't cover). The Amare's do look very nice but it...

Ok, but is there any way I can get exact #s or a graph to see how close I would be? I mean the Amare equipment is ultimately made up of other components right?

My plan at the moment is to go with the Very29 400w kit from Timber, but I just want to make sure I am hitting the absolutely best I can in terms of spectrum. Google searches tell me that both UV and infared will help with growth, so I want to find out exactly what spectrum the Vero cobs offer...

Well, I am going to use my Mars II for vegging, it seems fine enough, at least for now. I expect it to crap out eventually and maybe I'll replace it with a veg specific light then. But it creates good temps, and I don't see stretching. Very small light burn here and there. Airy nugs tho! I...

I don't think I disagree! Heh. Would you say the price is better than say timbergrowlights? I've been essentially researching this all day but I still have a lot more to do I think. I started googling their components separately but it seems like some of the pieces aren't readily available...

So is 300w of CMH going to produce the exact same amount of heat as a 300w LED? As in, I wouldn't need to change my venting situation whatsoever (assuming the wattage is the same)? There is also the factor of changing the bulbs. And what is it about CMH that makes it a better choice over LED...

Ok, so I am still unclear as to why you're recommending HPS when you say, right in your last post, that 400w of HPS is 130 PAR watts, while 400w of LED is 190 PAR watts. What am I missing here? Is it an issue of spectrum covered? Speaking of spectrum, I wanted to point out that the G8 450...

Of course, and I appreciate it, but you get what I am trying to say here right? If I listened to your suggestion alone, I'd be led to believe that there's no difference between LED and HID heating, which isn't true. You're stating a fact but omitting the more important part, in my opinion...
