    24 hrs segment timer keeps breaking

    Get yourself a heavy duty relay switch to be controlled by your timer. Or make sure your timer is rated to at least 4 or 5 times the wattage of your ballast. Plug n Grow makes a good one. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Rollitup mobile app

    First stealth dresser grow

    Do not add any lights with Kelvin rating close to 5000K (like 5500K mentioned above). There is too much green spectrum in those that we can see as extra light but plants can't so basically you will be wasting some elctricity. You are much better off achieving mixed spectrum with few 6500K (or...

    Can anybody give me a list and prices of a cheap 10 foot closet grow

    3 yrs old thread got a reply.... haha ... Anyway - whoever gets to read this thread now, forget about baking foil, reflectivity of aluminium is crap compared to mylar. And flat white paint is even better (and cheaper) than mylar. If you are on the budget get yourself matt white paint and some...

    Careerforacityboy's Stealth Cabinet Build

    Not sure if you noticed but in tent A they have had a heat deflector under the bulb and in tent B they did not... not very scientific research if the conditions were not the same. Deflector certainly helps with heat but light output below lamp will be slightly reduced - hence the results. Sent...

    First time Grow Light Help!

    You don't "need" two lights. Yes it is true that plants react differently to certain wavelenghts of light depending on stage of life cycle but you can grow great bud with either hps and mh all the way from seed through veg and flower up until harvest. General opinion is that if you were to...

    Which setup is better/efficient?

    I can see a bit of an issue with claims they make about that led light. 576 chips 3 watts each but total wattage is 750. Something doesn't add up...

    Small grow room setup help/heat advice

    i am suprised your bulb lasted because basically you were driving it at 400w certainly generating a lot more heat in the process... ballast is the only protection the bulb have from destroying itself. it puts a limit to a current that the bulb can draw. both hps and mh when working without...

    advice on a loupe/scope purchase

    Trust me - those are nowhere near 60X. I have a few of them and they are good for checking trichs but do not believe the print on them. they are more like 25X and someone in chinese marketing is trying to make them look better than what they are.

    Do you think 28% THC is for real, as Israel claims to have with one of their strains?

    What they possibly meant is that total cannabinoids content is at 28% which is nothing unusual. How much of it is THC I don't know but i doubt there is 28% pure thc in it.
