    DIY with Quantum Boards

    your ph is too low, aim for 5.8. And next time dont put the blocks on the slabs until after you have a decent root system. In fact i'd take the slabs off if you can. the rockwool slabs wicks away the moisture from the cubes where all the roots are. So you have a dry rootzone that gets...

    Cheap and Cheerful DIY using Citizen cobs

    are those charts for version 5? what am i not understanding when people say these are better than Cree? The efficiency just isn't there

    Top bin COB comparison 2

    isn't there a higher driver costs running citizens over CXB because they work at higher amps? im a bit slow on the uptake

    New Cree CXB3590 3000k bin

    didnt realize 3000k CD bins were available. is there an email list for CREE when higher bins become available or should I just ask Jerry for the scoop? anyone have efficiency number on the 3000k CD bin?

    Claw Leaf: how do I remedy? Suspect N overdose

    if you have excess N in the plant there's no way of getting it out by flushing. Sure you could flush all salts out of root zone and create a gradient across the root membranes and then maybe N will decrease in plant, but at that point so will everything else that can and your plant will just be...

    Cheap and Cheerful DIY using Citizen cobs

    do you know what efficiency of each of these cobs would be? so the 1825 @ 1050ma, 1818 @ 700ma, and the 1818 @ 1050ma? do you mind explaining how you calculated said efficiency and point to any data sheets that were used. I barely wrap my head around the whole Cree COB and without supra's...

    Claw Leaf: how do I remedy? Suspect N overdose

    apply humid acid to reduce nutrient stress. and it might seem counterintuitive but next time you water add 1 gram per gal of epsom salts. The magnesium and sulfur will both be helpful to convert the excess free nitrates into complete proteins.

    Outdoor plants dying: advice needed

    all that rain washed away their food. the roots might be too wet but if you get um growing good they won't mind. Its doesn't looks like rot problems just note def to me. I would water with some type of liquid feed (fish and kelp come to mind) and then top off the root zones with a good 1-2" of...

    Gnoot the Gnomes Organic Garden - DIY COBs

    curious if you mind sharing yield under the CXBs when ready? difference in quality? nice looking bugs, btw.

    Matching Drivers and COBs

    @Ronin-indi if you wanna wire the drivers to the same pot, than you'd need a 50k pot, not 200k this explains it well: https://www.rollitup.org/t/meanwell-led-drivers-3-in-1-dimming-function.838760/

    Matching Drivers and COBs

    @SupraSPL Im considering purchasing 2 meanwell HLG-240h-C1050 and running 7 CXB3590s per driver based off your data sheet. Should I worry about any issues with this, since it's right on the edge? I get confused because these drivers will run the COBS at more than 1050mA when the pot is turned...

    CXB spectrum vs output

    random PDF about SPD of sun throughout the day and year, might be useful to some folks http://www.q-lab.com/documents/public/cd131122-c252-4142-86ce-5ba366a12759.pdf

    Lens and Reflector Optics for COB

    you have made a circular argument here, and you don't seem to realize it. Your assumption (which is different from everyone else) is PPFD if measured in the whole grow the room, the entire footprint, but everyone here is taking about PPFD ONLY for the canopy. 'So the increase in PPFD under...

    Lens and Reflector Optics for COB

    It seems the real advantage to lenses and reflectors, even with a loss in total light, is better canopy penetration. Wouldn't this become more important the softer you drive the LEDs, CXB3590 driven @ 700ma only put out 4000 lumens. Maybe in instances where the LEDs are driven higher, 1.4mA+...

    CXB spectrum vs output

    what makes the 70 CRi 4000k not work from your experience? The SPD graph of the 4000k looks better than both the others and its like 5% higher efficiency than the lower kelvin COBs. I'm just curious because IDK. Were the buds looser? was the product not what people are used to? If you could...

    Reflectors....

    This bulb is designed to fit a S52 mogul socket, which is what 99% of reflectors come standard with so you should be good there. Just make sure you don't buy a reflector designed for double-ended bulbs but you probably knew that. Some people might disagree but from my experience the BEST...

    GPPW -vs- PPFD

    i think the ratio between G/KWhour of the entire grow room and G/PARWhour (yes, the hour need to be included here IMO) is a single number growers could use to rank each other. who can squeeze the most juice outta this lemon. It could be the ONE number used to say rank growers regardless of size...

    what difference in end product could I even expect to see between the 3500k and 4000k COBs? Do you know anyone using the 4000k COBS for flowering and what are their results? links? maybe i could do without the REDs.

    what is the $/PARw of 15 CXB at 1050mA. I see @ 700mA its $2.64, that's not bad actually. I understand the red will lower my overall efficiency but what I would like to know is how many red LEDs driven at both 700mA and 1050mA (with the appropriate numbers of COBs at each amperage to maintain...
