All I need to know at this point is if this board is the same as this Mean Well. Obviously one is 50W and one is 60W but do they perform the same function?

Could I mount my LEDs inside of a grow hood on the top effectively and just have two hoods in the room instead of 4 fixtures? It would be cheaper and much easier to air cool.

With everyone so concerned about the cheaper China LEDs, a few solutions come to mind. I've reworked how I want to set it up. Four fixtures for flowering room with four LEDs each and I'll move the HID in there to the vegetative tent. This means I now need a total of 16 LEDs across four fixtures...

According to the manufacturer the 100W China LEDs are 10,000 - 11,000 lumens each, so running at 50W that would be approximately 5,000 lumens each. So even with $10 Vero 18s at 4,000 lumens running at 50% for 2000 lumens it's still significantly cheaper to run China LEDs and replace them if they...

I mean I can spend $16.25 per Cree 2530 or I could spend $26.33 for ten of the China LEDs. It would cost me $455 to run Cree as opposed to $79 China LEDs. This means I would have to have nearly 150 China LEDs burn out and be replaced to make even the cheaper Cree lights worth it. I'll stick with...

Hello all and thanks for stopping in. I've been reading on do it yourself COB LED grow lights for the better part of two days now and have been trying to piece together exactly what to order for both a 4' x 8' flowering room and a 4' x 4' vegetative room. I'm looking to completely ditch my HID...

I don't see any reason why a prepaid Visa wouldn't work. As far as the company is concerned it's a Visa card, they don't know what kind. I advocate purchasing through Bitcoin if you can, most seed banks that take it offer a pretty hefty discount if you pay with it, I think I got something like...

Every Kalashnikova Auto showed exceptionally fast germination times but in the end none of them managed to sprout. I had nine other seeds in the exact same conditions that sprouted just fine so I emailed Seedsman support and they offered to give me some Seedsman brand seeds for free or some...

I can go into my grow room, cut a bud off a non-flushed plant in DWC being fed synthetic nutrients, throw it in my bong without drying it or curing it at all and get nothing but white ash left in the bowl. Sure, it's a bitch to light and smokes like shit but it leaves white ash 100% of the time...

Day 60, very tops look good but buds below aren't swelling and connecting to make decent colas so I went ahead and backbuilt the entire GC plant as it's the worst with this. Got a matured GC x PE seed off the PE and have it germinating now.

I've read a lot of your posts, you're very angsty and your post wasn't necessary. That being said, when I'm forced to choose between buying a cheap lighting kit or letting all my plants die it's pretty obvious which one I'm going to choose. The hood I got is great, obviously the bulb and ballast...

Trichome shot from the Green Crack. Hoping they'll be ready to harvest around November 14th but the trichomes seem pretty clear with small heads so we'll see. Picked up some CalMag that I'm dosing at 1ml/gallon. PPM's sitting at ~700, pH 6.0. Will do a two day FloraKleen flush followed by a two...

Blew a TON of replacement fuses yesterday, the vendor got back to me though with a shipping label to return it. Ended up cutting the s-style plug off the end of the hood and wiring it straight into a 400w magnetic ballast so I could at least run something in there.

I just switched from 3 DWC buckets to 6 RDWC buckets. There are pretty much two options, top feed or undercurrent. They're about the same price if you're keeping it budget, but the undercurrent is definitely more if you decide to spring for 3" piping. I use a 3/4" feed and 1/2" return with a...

I actually lost the Cheese seed somewhere in the carpet by my desk, but at least the Attitude order came in today completely unmolested! Attitude uses great stealth, would recommend to anyone. Even the dispensary I go to orders seeds through them.
