    What works best for big Veg - T5, CFL, HPS Halide or DIY COB LED?

    Always love the Yoda guy comments - he is a sage. 8) :grin: I was looking at one of these to run at 240 volts to save electricity and because they claim an 8x8 light spread per light. My ceiling is about 8 feet so maybe closer to 6x6. People claim it is pretty close to a Gavita...

    What works best for big Veg - T5, CFL, HPS Halide or DIY COB LED?

    Getting away from HPS. My buddies are saying look at LEC (light emitting ceramic). There is a 315 watt that puts out as much as 600 HPS with the same power. LEC is cooler than HPS but maybe not as cool as COB. I can get a LEC for just under $400 if I run 240 volts. Have to probably call an...

    What works best for big Veg - T5, CFL, HPS Halide or DIY COB LED?

    I am curious if anyone on a bigger scale and not a tent has an opinion on bigger veg plants. Not small clones or teens. What is the most cost effective and fastest way to grow? I am thinking it might be T5 or overcharged T8s.

    REALSTYLES SOLAR PANEL ADVENTURE & OUTDOOR GROW

    May I ask how much power the solar panels are putting out and their cost? Also is it covering your COB power usage? Do you use any T5s for vegging? Beautiful pool area and plants. I have been trying to use clear polycarbonate panels in the building but the sun generates tons of heat. I am...

    growers will be obsolete soon

    Electric cars are 100+ years old. The biggest risk for growers who are growing for money is big corporations if legalization hits more and more states. Corporate pot growing. the question is will corporate growers end up growing good weed. The people I have talked to said some of the big...

    growers will be obsolete soon

    +100 Reminds me of the stupid self driving cars, trucks and buses they say are coming. Humans make millions of decisions in a minute. Car driving has millions of variables and most humans do a pretty amazing job keeping it all figured out. Good luck to the robot check leaves for mites and...

    T5 recommendations?

    If just seedlings you may be able to use cheaper T8s. They work. If you are in the USA, you can get a two (4ft) bulb T8 set up from Wal Mart for $10.97. If you want a better fixture - go to Lowes and spend about $18. The GE 6500K 2 pack of bulbs is $7.88. Someone on another thread said they...

    Anyone here use SNS 209? http://sierranaturalscience.com/natural-pesticides/sns-209/ Essentially it is Rosemary oil. After about 5 waterings it is in the plant and supposedly if Mites or aphids bit the plants they get rosemeric acid which they do not like. I am not trying to pimp the...

    Sterilizing a room after Spider mites

    Bug bomb (pyrethian), bleach and more bleach. I would wipe down everything with water and bleach solution. Mop with water and bleach if possible. One things they can do for houses for bed bugs is steam or heat. You can buy steamers for bed bugs and the heat process is insane. They will...

    Im losing faith in this site!

    How are your water temps, PH and nutes? It is the summer and maybe the water is too warm. I am not a DWC guy either.

    Help ASAP??

    Sometimes they droop when under watered. What is the temps and humidity? Maybe too hot because of summertime. Consider a hillbilly AC if the room is hot. If you have a freezer then fill up 2 liter soda bottles with water and freeze them. Also maybe just use water for a day and no nutes.
