Was given a bunch of brand new equipment that was purchased in 2012 but never used. Haven't done an inventory but I count 9 - Aquamist 1 32 4" cup units. Looks like I have 5 - XXXtreme 8" hoods and I am betting the lights and ballasts to go with them. Lots of other boxes I haven't looked at. Is...

We did it ourselves and had one issue. When we shortened the copper lines on one unit we didn't get the flare right on the 1/4" line. It blew off as we were walking away from the unit after we opened the valves to charge the system. Other than that I haven't had any issue other than getting the...

Mini splits have been used around the world for many more years than we have ever seen them here in the states with Mexico being one of them. Most reputable manufacturers use the same compressors across the brands and Mirage has been around those areas a long time. I wouldn't have mentioned the...

Mini splits are getting cheaper but I haven't really seen the retailers passing the lower prices along. I can get a Mirage 12,000 BTU 15 SEER here local on the border for $400. It is a Mexican unit but the same as what they sell here in the US. Have 4 Mirage units in my house and love them. I...

Although I have no experience grafting cannabis I do have a few years experience growing citrus (over 40).

On the second companion board what is the breakdown of the diodes? What is the ratio of Far Red to 385 UVA and the high power UVA diode? Am I understanding this one correctly in that you will be using 2 different types of UVA diodes? Sorry but a little confused about the second board.

Just wondering why UVA and no UVB?

Any chance u can DM me to discuss the application of Red, Blue, and Far Red to the light mix. Still unable to start a conversation here as I am too new

Wouldn't any type of vertical grow have to have multiple sources of LED or HID? Doesn't the light footprint have to follow the plant as it grows upward? Thus you have to create a vertical light source as the plant grows

These boards sound great, can't wait to get an update on new supplies after the 15th

Tks, that is where I am heading for my first grow May be too ambitious but willing to invest in the panels and give it the college try

Total newbie here but if I had a 4'x4'x7' with 100% LED panels would that work. Thinking 1 or 2 plants in a vert grow

Just here trying to pick up knowledge to start my first grow
