    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    So 2 weeks (roughly) left to go.. BC Juicy fruit.. I love the smell of it, it's amazing inside the tent.. Everything seems to be going as planned.. 4 cheap chinese lights, 80 bucks Canadian... And this is the current state of affairs.. I am thinking about adding 2-4 more, 2 on each side, that...

    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    So i've got them built and set up.. It's been a week of flower, everything seems good, the temp is 78 degrees or so.. Not raising the tent at all it seems.. The power supplies aren't scorching hot.. Now I sort of bastardized the creation.. I took a stainless dishwasher door, cut it down to about...

    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    So i got the cobs from china the other day.. I'm going to order a vero 29 for s&g (sh*ts and giggles) and compare.. However tonight i was hooking them up, 100w, on a arctic alpine fan, and i turned it on, a single one, and damn near went blind. I actually had to grab a pair of sunglasses to look...

    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    I'm pretty sure. After all the reading etc. A 180 watt light for a 4x4 space, and several plants. The light was a mixed spectrum, not enough red to help build dense buds. I've got some clones in there now with abunch of 2700k cfl's and I can already tell the difference.

    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    I got those, plus some cheap drivers.. So assuming the manufacturer is 50 percent right.. That's 250 watts of somewhat efficient light for 80 dollars Canadian, add a heat sink etc for maybe 15, and 50 watts for 30 bucks, canadian... Can you really go wrong??? Especially since i'll just replace...

    Was it worth it!! Cheap Chinese Crap

    So i'm planning on building a light with 5 vero 29's.. However I was looking for drivers and well the Meanwell at $60 cdn, x 5, + 175 for 5 chips wasn't something i wanted to pay for a hobby.. So of course i go to ali express, and I find these...

    My first attempt at making a real grow room, and growing weed.

    I paid 100 bucks for a 300 watt, chinese made led, and you can see the results.. I had good soil, followed direction and i think i'm doing ok on the big plant i topped once.. the 300 watts is only 210 watts.. I plan on upgrading this and buying a second tent, but it was veg under 6 cfl's

    Your CXA3590 Mission Should you Choose to Accept It !

    I'm thinking 6 3k's would put out a lot more lumen than the Mars II which i believe is rated at 24k from 12 or 18 inches.. I just liked the specs of that chip, lot's of lumen, which i know isn't the idea measurement. I've also thought about vero 29's or cxa 3070's.. That's why i'm open to...

I'm curious as which one would be best for both veg and flower, or if there is a suggested mixture.. the other choice is just to plunk down the 450 (cdn) for a...

    Your CXA3590 Mission Should you Choose to Accept It !

    I have hit the books. However there are people in here with more knowledge than i'll ever have. So I thought i would get a group of opinions, and then formulate a plan from there.. Discussion is great, especially after reading so much..

    My first attempt at making a real grow room, and growing weed.

    So i thought I would post an update... Especially since i'm in the flowering stage, and i've recently added a 4x4 tent.. The 300 watt led is ok for my current purpose, but now i'm thinking DIY 6 cob led light, we'll see. Anyways out of the 4 plants, two turned out male, and two are female, one...

    My first attempt at making a real grow room, and growing weed.

    Here's an update.. So i have 4 plants in my tent, under a 300 watt led, it's actual 210 w power draw, and 4 23 watt cfl's for ambient light.. I just got the led, so i've been playing with height etc. The cfl's actually got me thru the seedling stage.. I do have some questions.. 3 of the seeds...
