Hey guys, bout to be going into week 7 of flower and noticed some leaf issues starting to pop up over the last few days. Probably too late to do much to these plants, and the buds are still looking good, I just wanted some help figuring out what my plants need more or less so I dont have any...

I wouldnt say Im completely set on Arduino but definitely leaning that way pretty heavy. Its what I've already done most of my research into and seems like its more of what I need, at least based on looking at a few Arduino vs Raspberry Pi rules of thumb, and a lot of people recommending Arduino...

Sorry for the late reply, had a busy few days, but I did do some looking into the ESP-32S, while that looks like it'd be a much cheaper option for controlling most of what I need, one of the main reasons for going with the Arduino Uno Wifi was the PWM I/Os for dimming my LEDs. As far as the soil...

Just seein your updates. First time logging back on since RIU was down. I considered going Bluetooth BLE instead but am liking that Wifi Uno Rev 2 seems perfect what Im trying to do, if anything slightly future proofed as well. Its a pretty new board so there isnt much for libraries specifically...

Id definitely consider myself at least pretty decently computer savvy, but have been out of it for a lil bit. Gonna dust off my computer and install that IDE and play around a bit. Ive done some looking around on that site already and came across some codes I think I could either just use, or...

Im definitely open to building my own, Ive been looking into that the last few days. I came across the Arduino Uno a few nights ago and have since been liking that as my option for now. What you described would be PERFECT. Id be very much interested in a how to from you. Saw some on YouTube but...

Sorry I probably couldve worded my post better. Im looking for a controller that I can use to get all my lights on timers on separate channels. I have my main lights for 18/6 and 12/12 that Id like to get all on 1 timer (with the ability to control each channel separately). As well as...

Hey guys, so probably a dumb question, but Im looking for a LED controller that I would be able to use as both a timer and a digital dimmer and set to a schedule and was looking for suggestions. Those are really the only 2 functions Im needing right now, however at some point in the somewhat...

Ill definitely have to keep that in mind. Now just leaning towards the Reptisun 24in fixture (the fixture for the 34" bulbs is actually 36" and would be a tight fit in my 3x3). I can pick that up for $40 -$50 which is about how much I figure Id spend building my own, and I like the look or their...

Your amount of knowledge is truly incredible. Did some looking around for those Arcadia fixtures and they're non existent in the US. At least Im able to pick up the bulbs. Since all those tests were done with the 2ft 12% bulbs. Would me deciding to get the 3ft bulbs affect those results any or...

Id give this thread a check out. Definately will depend on your situation (room size and such) but this thread should help you some. https://www.rollitup.org/t/uva-dosage.964973/

I was considering it but its definitely looking like there are better options for right now. If youre really interested though, RapidLED has a pretty good deal on their solderless UVA (390-400nm) diode at $5.50. Dont know how well they really work though or how long they last.

Awesome ! If you think the Arcadias would be better than the Hortilux Ill go with the 3ft 12%'s then, just so I have the ability to run them closer along with my COBs. And a 3 ft T5 good should sit perfectly on my 34in canopy substrate.

Doooood, thank you ! I thought I was loosing my mind trying to find a "AgroMax PowerVeg+" bulb, lol. That was a really quality video. So the Hortilux PowerVeg+ bulbs are in fact the best source of supplimental UV for growing as of right now ? So 2 of those 2 footers wouldn't be too much in a 3x3...

Definitely not a bad idea, but something about that just feels not right to me. If possible I think Id prefer the 2 2ft bulbs. I did more looking around though, especially at the Arcadia D3 HOT5s (and T8s). Check out these spectrum charts on these Arcadias. 14% UVB Arcadia: 12% UVB Arcadia: 6%...
