Chopping stalks and branches into wood chips sort of for mulch. Thoughts?

Why not? That would work just fine IMO.

So, I asked a question in the LED section and I'm not getting much feedback, so I'll ask you. What's the best led panel on the market for flower? I have 3 rows of plants in flower, each with a 1000 watt HPS overhead. Footprint for each row is apx 4' wide x 5' long.

Any suggestions? I'm not very handy, so DIY is kinda off the table for me. My eyes glaze over when you guys start talking specs! :-)

I did it last round with all the branches when I didn't have more straw. About 4 months later, most of it is gone or at least buried.

I have all my stalks from the past year sitting in a 30 gal tote. Lol. I'm have a busy week making mulch. I was probably going to give them to @SomeGuy for fire wood in his fire pit. I have a lot though

I don't like using the leaves for mulch really anymore. They don't really break down sitting on top of the soil. I feel it's a waste to use leaves for mulch when I can feed the leaves to the worms.

For led. The best are

Its @Greengenes707 company. He's releasing new panels in a month or 2.

That's @robincnn company

Thanks!

So that CX300 by pacific lights for example....any idea the footprint on that, and would that adequately replace a 1000 watt HPS?

Wait for his new bar design to come out, It will be much more flexible and as far as covering your space. The CX300 leaves a bit to be desired as far as spacing but the more modular design of the bars will allow you to perfectly cover your 4x5 area.

I'm running CXBs and Veros and they are great! I DIY'd though. It's really not all that hard, especially with the new mau5 kits from cutter. If you start a thread in the LED section people will jump in and help you along the way if you are up for it. Myself included.

2 of those would replace a 1000w. Each one is equivilant to a 315w cmh or 600w hps. Coverage is about 3x3

They're releasing new bars soon with pin heat sinks. That are more efficient .

Damn. So I would need 8 of those to replace my HID's in flower and veg. $6,000. Ouch!

I might just do that. I posted my questions in one of the LED section stickys but not much response so far. I didn't want to start a thread with questions I'm sure have been asked/answered thousands of times....

Thanks for the help fellas

Look into cmh too @st0wandgrow The cmh bulbs last 3 times longer than hps bulbs. They're much more efficient than hps. Mine only pulls 339 watts at the wall. I'm covering a 4x4. It would be better at a 3x3 - 3.5 x 3.5.

Its my first run with a 315. I paid. $365 for it.mine is a phantom 315. The sun system lec 315 is about $480. It has a better ballast made by Phillips and it's not remote like mine. Still produces very little heat like my cmh. They both use the same bulbs. I think when I add more cmh I'm going to grab some sun systems

Just posting this here in case anyone follows BAS and Jeremy Silva.

I found out BAS and Jeremy Silva is a fraud. Coot is over at grass city in a new no til thread called no til: revisited telling all about it.

I couldn't be more disappointed.

Take this how you would like. Not trying to start anything. I'm just beyond disappointed.

You're disappointed in Coot's thread?

What name is he going by over there?

Jeremy silva and Coots were both on the same Adam Dunn show a couple months ago.

I'm reading it now. But that thread is authored by mountain organics. I'm on the first page.

Do you have a link to the exact page. The thread is 187 pages.

I went through the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages and I couldn't find a single post by Clackamas Coots. I know he's mostly on IC mag

I call shenanigans on that post ^^^^

I know mountain organics and Coots are not the same person. I've met mountain organics. He lives about an hour from me. One of my friends has been to his house a few times. Coots lives in Oregon.

Just keep it just moist enough to form a solid ball when you squeeze it, which breaks when you poke it. That level of water won't go anaerobic easily. Let it breathe. I used to put a towel or such over the top. Keeps bugs out, but allows gas exchange.

That'll pretty much guarantee it goes great. And it looks great so far.
