First real grow, gone mostly excellent. It's likely i'm overcritical of everything, but hey, might as well ask. Week 9 since 12/12 flip. On a few of my tops, mostly the more mature ones, the very tips of the buds have become lighter in color, dry and brittle. When i touch them they will...

Thank you for the reply. What’s your take on the runoff ph reading 2.0 lower than what’s going in? No symptoms at all prior to or even weeks after starting the 1/3 ff dosage. The photo of the bottle is the runoff. I have been using 7.0 to water it for the last couple of weeks and the runoff...

Hi all, First real grow. Plant was doing excellent until about a week ago. Flowers / sugar leafs overall still look great, but i assume i'm missing out on quality / quantity because of the current issue. Info: HLG 225 @ 160w, 17" above canopy (has not changed in many weeks prior to issue)...

Well thats what i was hoping for. I asked for opinions on here about the CLW stuff and was met with lots of adversity to their products but no hands on experience from what i could tell. Now we have hands on experience to say its a definite no for the money.

I am fortunate enough to have had all three of these in my possession to test and decide which one was the best for me. These reviews unfortunately do not reflect each light's ability to grow plants (i know, i know..), but do reflect an intial inspection, build quality, and function test of each...

First real grow, Hope I’m not jumping the gun asking for help but hey, maybe someone else can learn too. Feminized “sonic screwdriver” Seed planted March 14 and sprouted 19th so it’s about 2 weeks old. It appears that only one side of the plant is actually developing. It seems to have a healthy...

Understood and appreciated. I'm fortunate to not be very cash restricted and willing to purchase multiple styles just to see what works best or even who has the best build quality. I recieved the CLW SolarXtreme yesterday, and you were all right, totally not worth the money. I cannot comment...

Is there any link or resource that describes / breaks down the digits on the driver names? Like HLG vs XLG, and the digits at the end. It seems pretty clear so far that the middle number is typically the driver's watt output, but im curious of the other digits both before and after are...

Wild is an adjective and was perfectly used in the situation I did. You’re the one who quoted it as if it was a brand specific style as if you just want to nitpick. Either way, Thank you for telling me the official name. Appreciate the input but man, again, another reply just saying what not...

You’re right. As stated multiple times in here I’m new to all this so this is my “dive in”. With time and research I’m sure I’ll figure out how to source all the wiring / components to build my own light. I’m fortunate to not be financially burdened, and even if I spent an extra $100 at least...

The pinned thing, it looks fucking wild. https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/lamps/products/hlg-225 Hoping i made the right choice. I narrowed it down to the one linked above or two QB288s, basically their 260w kit, dimmed down a bit. The latter would have given me more vertical...

You're furthering my point from the first post. Your comment does nothing to help anyone seriously interested. Are you actually informed as to what is wrong with their lights, or following everyone else on here to fit in? After speaking with the people at HLG, i am going to order their new...

Oh man, what a rabbit hole. The size / diode layout here seems good too. Would 2 of these in a 2x2 be ridiculous? Even if i dimmed them? Again, looking for most coverage possible, not too concerned with cost. If one gets me 80% and two gets me 100% i'm in for two.

Very good info for me, thank you. Do you have a suggested other online source for the drivers, wiring / connections? Thats whats hanging me up on 'piece mealing' my setup. I'm sure there are standard connections / protocols but after rummaging around HLG's website i'm not seeing them. Can i...

I've already got a "1000 watt" (240 ish) Phlizon CREE COB in there, when both switches are on it (in my opinion) is running way too hot. I dont think any of the 'off the shelf cheap' lights are gonna work as good as i'd like. Trying to figure out how i could configure two of those qb288's in...

Gotcha, i missed the 'dimmed' part. I'm sure this is a silly question, but i'm new to this, are you running both boards with a single driver? Or are you running basically two full setups like this with each one dimmed...

That seems like a huge amount of light to only add 5*. I did a quick google search for that board, and found this...

Thank you for the replies! I'm new here. "diode layout for superior spread" = The LED choices here are the correct mix for what i'm trying achieve? Also, shouldnt i be hesistant to purchase from a seller with not that many reviews and, well, questionable descriptions? Or is this a well known...

Hi all, Did some quick searching and didnt find what i was hoping for. I am setting up my first real grow and am undecided as to what light would suite me best. Hopefully some of you have hands on with multipe types of lights and can point me in the right direction. I am looking for basically...
