    DIY COB build troubleshooting help

    I will do some reading and I think parallel was what cobkits was implying when suggesting 5 slot wagos...but almost everything I read was talking series wiring and had that in my head.

    That makes sense and will try again but couldn't find any way to get wire to release. Will search the holder style.

    DIY COB build troubleshooting help

    If that is the case would the be damaged by hooking them up that way? If not is there a way to release wires from holders?

My hlg-240h-54b driver has dimmer...

    Newbie Mistakes

    My well water is very high in iron and I live surrounded by farm fields so actually above EPA levels of ppm to be safe for humans. I did have that same thought to use well water on one, water from sump on another mainly because there is an endless supply right there by my plants. Since those...

    Newbie Mistakes

    Good info, I have been doing some reading on determining maturity, and the trichome color and clarity. Done a lot of reading on the overall grow process but I have stuck primarily to reading mostly about whatever stage it is in at the time to avoid input overload..lol. I think my main goal is...

    Newbie Mistakes

    Hey Cannn, thanks for the feedback. I am thinking the lack of sufficient N during VEG was my biggest mistake. The veg plant on the bottom was starting to yellow and lose leaves also but seems to have recovered and is doing great after upping the N. All 5 plants were started from seed around...

    Newbie Mistakes

    This is my first grow and I am sure the pics will bare that out. I went into this with more desire than knowledge but i wont let that discourage me. I have learned a lot that I will take forward into my next grow. I didn't really know much about anything when it comes to feeding and watering...

    1st Time grow with mars 300w led

    Should be fairly straight forward assembly and will work up a frame design. Looking forward to parts arriving. I think some of this issues I am having on current grow are light related..ph issue likely as well. Trying to adjust and last time growing in soil..going to coco. What do you think...

    Sounds good, similar to amount you would use on a computer CPU and heatsink then?

    1st Time grow with mars 300w led

    Hi Cobkits, thanks for the info I will add those to my list and get my order submitted. Is the 4g tube of Arctic a sufficient amount for the 4 chips?

    1st Time grow with mars 300w led

    Thanks and no problem on the delay, would you think a dimmer pot would be a must? I don' have a tent, I built a box with plywood and 2x2's top flowering area is 30x24x60 and lower VEG area is 30x24x36...side panels are 1 inch foam board inserts. It covers a basement window and vents directly...

    Can you tell if female?

    Just can't get a decent closeup shot with my phone camera...Will have to do some more comparison to photos online. If all else fails clone and flower it I guess...thanks for looking though.

    1st Time grow with mars 300w led

    Does this look like a complete list of what I would need minus the wire and frame material? Kind of unsure on the reflectors. Do the passive heat sinks work pretty well? Just wondering what sort of temps the light will generate...run about 75-78 now during day with current light, maybe down...

    1st Time grow with mars 300w led

    Nevermind on that last post, I see how it is framed up or fabricated. Would it be better for all 4 leds in a row or more square frame or would that really matter? I am thinking of building with the first option you mentioned.
