This is how I built an overpowered light worth $2500+ on the market for only $850. All currency is CAD. *BEFORE STARTING* Watch the 6 part growmau5 series to learn the wiring: For the grounding plug: Technical: 4x Hlg 185H 700ma in series drivers (i suggest you buy the newer 240H...

Hi all, I set up a discord aimed at people using Home Assistant or similar for automating their grows. The link is: https://discord.gg/DBHhHZKD. I hope this is aloud because its useful to have access to somewhere for very quick answers. Cheers Jacob

Stealth growing has always been an interest of mine, mainly due to my state being non-legal till just up to last summer. Had a few halfassed grows in closets before legalization and was always toying with the idea of how to have a grow in plainsight and virtually undetectable. Fast forward to...

Hey Yall, just wanted to share a hood i made many many years ago that i just rediscovered in my storage. Its made from 7/16" OSB (Oriental Strand Board), Surface mounted medium base plastic light fixtures. some Romex wiring, medium base splitters, and covered in Mylar. This worked very well...

Let's just hope it's a girl.

Hello everyone. I’m hoping to make a 3 shelf led grow unit. The bottom would be for clones and a mother plant. The middle and top I would use for a short veg. I would love to hear some opinions on a DIY lighting rig to serve this purpose. I have already built myself a 4x4 bridgelux EB2 DIY rig...

This is my first grow. I've been reading/watching stuff for a couple of years. Even though this was going to be a "practice grow", I was pretty confident that it was gonna be a breeze to grow and smoke my own stuff. So i had these bagseeds, 3 of them to be exact. And macgyver'd the shit out of...

Simply put I want to use the Mean Well series HVG series drivers to power Fluence’s Spydr series fixtures (example: Mean Well HVGC-650W Driver with a Fluence Spydr 2P. Firstly, are they compatible? Secondly, can I pull it off with a pretty basic knowledge of LED/wiring and a soldering gun? I’m...

I don’t think I have really seen any lights for sale with these SMD’s in them. They are much bigger than the 301b’s and are rated for a few watts vs .5 watts. These are specifically geared towards horticulture and have a lense, I assume you could mount them to star boards and make your own...

What’s up all, so the original plan was to toss these outside but with 2/4 females and winning the @Spiderfarmerled 4/20 giveaway it just made sense to do run with sf1000. - I popped more gg seeds so whatever females /8 will go to the hills. -these were vegged with the sf1000 alone but I’m...

Hey all. Been reading up on aminos which got me thinking if the possibility to make your own rough mixture would be possible? Similar to how you would make a fermented plant extract or fish hydroslate through microbial and enzyme fermentation. I know there are a bunch of products out there and...

Will I need a Heatsink for Bridgelux 4ft EB gen 3 thrive @750ma?

Has anyone built this system and put it to the test? If so please let me know the pros and cons before i try to build it myself. My rdwc is pretty stable but a few times a week it goes crazy on me when I'm not around to monitor it so it would be nice to have this system.

Hey growers, hope you had a good year start! At least about your gardening, like my case :eyesmoke: In this thread i'd like to post a diary of the first girl I'm growing in DWC since a long time ago, DIY set up! If anyone may be interested in more details about whathever I'll post more about...
