    Lazy guys grow room.

    Cob 600 for $100 is about the best I found.800 for $109.00. I have 5 different brand lights right now, all LED. That cob600 is definitely better and for about the same price, getting cheaper all the time I see...

    Lazy guys grow room.

    I have yet to get ambitious and get a tester to see how much current LEDS draw. I will soon. My electric bill has been cut in half. I don't know if it's from less draw from the LED's, or the fact that I was able to eliminate half the fans and the dehumidifier or both. My air conditioning bill...

    Lazy guys grow room.

    Yup, LED and HPS for now. I am going all LED for my 4 grow rooms. In transition now. Meanwhile I did find out that somehow the LED light gets inside the branches and makes more buds. I have been growing the same strains in the same rooms for years, the LED's are..well..different...I have a lot...

    Lazy guys grow room.

    This is one of my grow rooms. I just got done flushing one plant. Now I just wait and when it all dries up I can whisk broom and vacuum it. I made a cheapo flood table about a foot off of the floor. I put a drain in it. I covered it with pool liner ( available for free at most pool places )...

    Extra led lights under canopy

    I'm still checking out LED lighting, seems I water apx. half as much. Also I seen some spots on a plant with two weeks to go till harvest. This scared the h*ll out of me due to an outbreak of spider mites that I had a few years back ( they were so big and plentiful that you could have fed a...

    Extra led lights under canopy

    First harvest will be in in a couple of weeks. I can check weight after that and compare. I do see that the LED grow has more uniform buds than the HPS, less giant buds and less small buds. The buds seem tighter than usual. Very nice trichomes on the LED grow. I have no idea how it will turn...

    Extra led lights under canopy

    I found out that light form the LEDs don't make the soil dry like HPS and MH. Sorta like LEDs doesn't make my temperature read artificially high. A direct HPS or MH light on a thermometer will make it go up a lot, the LEDs on the thermometer barely move it, I tried both separately. I figure...

    Really Poor mans Grow

    I go through a bundle of plant markers about once or twice a month for 3-4 bucks per bundle.. They are always too short or too long. I plant some times 100 clones at a time. Not a big deal or a real big price, but for a buck I bought a set of window blinds ( they were 4.50 but I got them for a...

    Really Poor mans Grow

    Here is another tip to save a few bucks. I have made a lot of clones and seed plants for years. I figured out that I was paying 4.00 bucks for a handful of plastic plant marker sticks every month, sooo I went to the local Walmart and bought and bought me a set of plastic blinds, they were...

    SEED HELP

    Seed Question: I have bought a lot of seeds in the past, now I see the going price for "Icebreaker" seeds is $25 to $70 per seed depending on where you get them. Is this a bit expensive ? Why do they cost so much ?

    Extra led lights under canopy

    I did the same thing with my 600hps. I added one 300 cheapo off brand LED and it is a world of difference. Not many underdeveloped buds like I always get in dimly lit areas. The plants have an overall better look to them, healthy. I have been growing indoors for years in the same place, so I...
