    Small outdoor grow with automated blackout

    Has anyone made a small grow box for 1 plant that has automated blackout curtains? I hate going out every day at 7pm and 7 am. I was thinking maybe with an arduino I could rig up a motor to a curved track and put it on a timer. I usually grow indoors but would love to try another outdoor grow...

    HTH Pool Shock Numbers not adding up

    So I've been reading a bunch of forum posts on using pool shock to keep a sterile rez but the number's I've been seeing do not add up with the pool strip testing that I just finished and the calculations I did after. The number's that I saw was to use 1 gram of 50% calcium hypochlorite powder...

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    I currently have 3x vero 29gen7 version B (~50v) on an HLG 240Hc1400b and I'm thinking about switching over to 5x D gen8's (~36v) but the max voltage of the driver is 179v and 5 of those chips is approximately 180v (182v if its 36.4v per, data sheet is unclear at that amperage). What will...

    Need help wiring my ac power meter

    So I've got this power meter that I've been trying to set up (actually was already running it but the way I was running it seemed bad which I'll get to shortly). I drew a picture of the wiring but don't know electronics very well and need help not killing myself or at least not shorting out my...

    Vero 29's not running full power

    So I put together 3 vero 29's (version d, 36v) with an hlg 120h c1400b (151.2w max) and had everything hooked up prior to setting up a proper fixture for it and I had it running just past 150w. Yesterday I got all the parts I needed to wire it up to a fixture and when I hooked everything up it...

    Rate my setup

    Is this a decent set up? Been debating upgrading this with some more red/ir diodes or just going for a qb set up. I have 6x vero 29 3000k 90 cri running up to 70 watts each overhead, currently at 50 watts each for a total of 300 watts. I have a platinum p150 blurple that I took apart and took...

    DC barrel connectors

    How would I take my driver off my fixture with a removeable connector? What kind of connector could I use? I keep seeing low voltage or too high voltage connectors in my searches. I'm running three vero 29's per fixture, 52vx3=156v in series, approximately. I wanna be able to disconnect from...

    Double branch on one

    I have both my bottom branches growing double branches as one, what is this and should I remove them? I've read it might be polyploidism, whorled phylotaxy... I have no idea and not sure if it'll come back even if I cut these two off and keep veging longer. Some threads said the buds will be...

    Uneven growth after topping

    So I usually veg under different lights than my flowering lights but I just started a new grow last month and topped it and wanted to train it for flat growth but one side is completely uneven and growing less than the other side. I shoulda been spinning it because I have 6 cobs and 3 of them...

    Connecting two fixtures together

    So I'm going to be taking the power supplies off my fixtures, two hlg 240h 1400 connected each separately to my vero 29 led fixtures each running at 210 max watts and mounting them outside my tent and I'm wondering about connectors that can be used to be able to plug and play if I want to move...

    Incandescent is the perfect complement to led?

    So this might seem a little bit crazy but I recently added a 75w incandescent to my 75w 5000k vero 29 veg tent and it was an amazing transformation for my plants. My new Jack Herrer from seed had been growing short and stocky under my led which with that spectrum is to be expected, but I was...

    Light distance and intensity

    Is it better to raise your light and turn up the intensity or lower the light and dim it? Also, would you get more light dispersed and thus more reflected light off the sides of the tent that then hits the plants at more angles with a higher light and higher intensity vs lower and dimmer?

    Bud and trichomes under sugar leaves relatively undeveloped

    So I'm growing under vero 29 cobs, 3 3000k 90 cri mixed with 3 3500k 80 cri top down lighting (just added some minor side lighting), currently running at around 260 watts down from around 440 watts (was burning my plants) at around 14 inches. Anyway, all the leaves that you can see top down and...

    Pictures - the bottom leaves are darker from when they were in my other tent with 5000k lights. topped a week ago (were yellowing before that too) I've been trying to figure this out since my last grow, I thought changing nutrients might help a little but my growth under my 3 3000k 90 cri...

    Iceled xtra ultra + vero 29

    So I might have asked when I originally installed them but its been some time since my last grow and I'm firing these things up again and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with them (link)? The active heatsink paired with vero 29 is specifically what I'm referring to. The heatsink has a...

    Why do LED grown plants show deficiencies vs outdoor?

    I had this plant, bubba's gift that I grew from a feminized seed under blurple lights about 2 years ago. The plant was fine the first time around, but after I cloned it, it started showing a lot of problems. Red, woody stems, strange colored leaves that looked like phosphorus deficiency but...

    New vero cob substituted in, less wattage overall now, help!

    So I had 3 vero 29 3500k 80cri SE, B@50v,1.4a running at 220 watts measured at the ac side. I bought 3 more vero 29's 3000k 90 cri B@50v,1.4a to build a new fixture and I put one of the 3ks in the middle of the old fixture and one of the 35ks in the new fixture. It looks great but I lost 20...
