    How powerful is my light!?!

    Could be the other usual culprit using LEDs, low soil and leaf surface temps. Low transpiration and reduced nutrient uptake. The light is not really the direct problem, but can contribute. You were correct to move the light up, sick or weak plants will not respond well to intense light. When I...

    So what rights are you radicalized enough to give up?

    I personally think the biggest obstacles to safety in the USA are the 4th and 5th amendments. Imagine if enforcers didn't have to worry about things like reasonable suspicion, probable cause, due process, and unreasonable searches. The fine men and women of enforcement agencies at both the local...

    Has anyone had bloods taken by uk police???

    It's like most states in the USA. You can refuse the field tests, preliminary breath test, walking lines, visual perception and all that bullshit. The police need enough probably cause to make the arrest before you are required to take a blood test, so dont help them in the field by complying...

    What kind of dimmer to get?

    Most pots have the actual resistance on them like 10K or a 3 digit code in the part number. The 3 digit number is the first two digits then 10 to the power of the third number. 252=2.5k 502=5k 103=10k 104=100k ...ETC

    Noticed my Led flicker a couple of times

    You're probably hovering right around the threshold voltage for that boardset. Most people run them on the 54V drivers. I would max out the voltage trimmer on your driver and see if it eliminates the flickering. If it still flickers your options would be to run cooler, add cooling to lights or...

    I've used it to veg cannabis and for container herbs, never went over 1.3EC and everything was dark green.

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    Before I just decided to keep my HID lamps for winter grows, I looked in IR lizard heating. They don't use much power and it all gets used as heat. A few extra watts could be used to raise temps on leaf surfaces and aid in transpiration.

    Newbie Here

    That's what I finally settled on. I collected rainwater and ran everything on 3 part fertilizer with 1/4 sprayers last season. All the garden veggies, herbs and the devil's lettuce loved it....except for the tomatoes, the N was a bit high.

    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    That is part of my plan for next year's outdoor. I'm gonna install fans in an open end hoop house to move air when heat or humidity passes a certain level. Unprotected plants perform like crap in MA.

    Newbie Here

    Pretty much nailed it on the head, except after a little experience I think DTW in buffered peat can be as easy, if not easier than soil. I agree some methods are intimidating.....here is what I envision if I ever tried high pressure aeroponics.

    Do I Switch?

    I never really had an infestation of gnats once I switched to soilless with salts. There were never more gnats that a sticky trap couldn't manage.

    @Drop That Sound Solenoid...bloody brilliant!!!(: 1/4'' 12V DC Push Connect Plastic Solenoid Valve - Electricsolenoidvalves.com This will be a perfect fit. I have numerous timers and old 12V power bricks. I can just chop the end off and crimp on some blade connectors. It will also be very...

    2x3 with house hould 14w leds in a cupboard

    It brings me back to 90's except it is with LEDs instead of CFLs. Man....we sure did have some fun with our ghetto grows back then, even if the yields were tiny.

    Float/shutoff valve for standard 5 gallon bottle.

    I'm looking to fill the bottles from my RO to use in a coffee machine and multiple humidifiers. Right now I time 40 minutes to fill about 8 gallons into two bottles. I had a brain fart and let them go the other day and dumped a good amount of water onto the basement floor.

    Float/shutoff valve for standard 5 gallon bottle.

    Are there any shutoff valves or does anyone know of any parts that would work with a standard 5 gallon drinking water bottle?
