Got some more wood today and over the next week I will be building a new cab.
It's summertime so lotsa sandy vaginas going around . Anyway can I get a CLARIFICATION on something? So when you say you can't change your light you mean no going from HPS to LED and back not something like using a 630nm LED spot, then say 2 to 3 weeks later one replaces the 630 with a 12000K LED spot that's OK, right?OMG, there's more drama on this thread than the Lifetime channel.
I get wood every morning...whats that got to do with anything?Got some more wood today and over the next week I will be building a new cab.

Man why all these ruleings to be made this round? cousin jimjim had it easy last time. correct no going from led to floro or, floro to led hps to led, hps to floro...none of it...but if you are using a switchable ballist mh to hps is acceptable, switching coclor spectrums on hoods like the han's panel or area 51 is acceptable even switching bulbs from 6400k in a floro to 28ook in floro is fine just no changing sources...hope that makes sense, ? We want you to use the same wattage from start to finish, which means no changing hoods or ballists but bulb changes are acceptable.It's summertime so lotsa sandy vaginas going around .

So have you come up with a better way of containing your roots rather than just letting the grow to pinch them off your self??? Capt. Morgan suggested some screen at the bottom of the cup, I would reccomend that as well since you don't want to get dq for some roots poking out. Just looking out for you brother, maybe some landscaping fabric since it allows water and air thru, but not roots! just an ideaI usually vape CBD rich strains thru the day, like my lovely Z7, from MNS.
Not trying to nitpick but you are underpowering your lights when you only run the veg switch. Mine doesn't pull full power without both switches so on top of adding spectrum you are adding light whereas hid you are just changing spectrum. Not really trying to make a point just saying that us guys with switches on our panels are running different wattages as well as spectrum at points of the grow, ya dig.Thanks for the clarification, sounds reasonable, switching out bulbs on the same fixture to change spectrums is no different than changing the spectrum switches on an LED panel with switches. Same would go for someone using LED/CFL bulbs in a DIY fixture as long as they're just changing spectrum/bulbs and not adding light (can't think of why anyone would want to reduce lights other than maybe too much heat, and that would not be an advantage).
In understand what you're saying, I personally won't be running any switchable lights this round, but I did last round and it was allowed (and discussed/voted on during the round) for that comp, if it's not this round we should get a clarification as some may want to do that. There can be many reasons for switching, particularly in a small space/cabinet like I ran last time. As far as switched LED's, I haven't seen any benefit in running all the reds through veg (in this 12/12 from seed the first few weeks), if anything imo they perform as well or better with the veg switch in earlier stages closer to the plants vs. full on power further away. I also prefer slightly higher temps in flowering and in a small cabinet running full power increases the temps.Not trying to nitpick but you are underpowering your lights when you only run the veg switch.

And I feel for ya tko, guess winning the comp is both a blessing and a curse.

I got a bit of that black fabric you use at the bottom of a planter container to keep weeds out, but I honestly think its overkill, as this isn't a DWC, so I don't expect that kind of root growth with this system. But, whatever keeps the natives from being restless. Buncha uptight freaks!So have you come up with a better way of containing your roots rather than just letting the grow to pinch them off your self??? Capt.

I think if its built into the light, like the Indagrow, you're in the clear.Well I was planning on using a single Cree CXA 3070 3000k Z4 COB from start to finish. I was hoping to start at .35a and 11.76 watts and finish at 1.4a and 52.22 watts by changing drivers. I suppose if I have to,I can just start at 1.4a and keep the light far away. I also asked about 5 minutes of 730 nm at lights out but don't recall getting a response,I figured it's built into the Indagro light with pontoon that has been used in the contest before so it would be ok?
OK let me stop being vague and lay it out. I use multiple panels in my grows and I plan on doing the same with the ghetto box I'm making for my cup entrant. What I'd like to do is start with 6 x Illumitex F3s and a 1x20 watt 630nm multichip spot then about 2 to 4 weeks in switch out the 630nm for a 10 watt 12,000K multichip to try to get a grip on stretch from all the 660 and 730 in the F3s. After that it's either back to the 630 or maybe 2 more Illumitex F3s. And if that's a problem then I'll run 8-12 F3s which is total overkill to me but I only have certain drivers to use, or just say fuckit and run it in the main grow area with 2x80 Hans' and the 52 F1/F3 Surexis but I really don't want it in the main area getting crowded out by other plants and knocked over by me . So yeah I do want to jump around abit but it will be a straight LED grow."We want you to use the same wattage from start to finish, which means no changing hoods or ballists but bulb changes are acceptable.
