yeah the whole reason i got it is because of the low cost (20 usd) for 15 seeds (they sent 17) . Listen, i have NEVER seen seeds germinate in less than 12 hours. I put several in a little cup of water and in teh morning they were sprouted. Put them in peat pellets and they have been very...

ok im sure this questions been asked before but who doesnt like a new thread? so this is specifically focused on strains that give you that deep belly aching laughter that wells up from the depths of your soul and makes you forget who and where you are. Ive only experienced it a couple of...

im running a few walkabout......has anyone grown that recently and found any heavy hitters? mine are all still in veg and one smells like chocolate/coffee smell.....hope that carries over into the finished product

the problem is i dont have any horizontal space at all, in fact i have lower leaves dying because theyre not getting any light from having plants too close together. So somehow i need to maximize the light penetration while keeping the plants oriented in vertical growth. I was thinking of...

so heres the deal. I have a few plants in 1 gal. pots that are a little over 2 feet tall...been topped TWICE so have a total of four main colas currently forming. The problem is Im about to transplant them to almost 5 gallon pots and i dont have enough height in my growbox to accomodate them...

since youre in Oregon do you know that guy who builds the Black Diamond lights? i forget his name but this is his site. http://www.perfectsunled.com/ and yes...if those citizen cobs are as good as they look im almost afraid they will get too popular and hard to buy.......do you think theres...

so heres where im at so far. i finished wiring up my mickeymouse job today......an led driver straight to the LEDs, two of them screwed to CPU heatsinks and fans i had from old junk PCs. I test fired it and measured temps at the LED and never went above 110F...which i guess is good...ill post...

what do you think about this one? Theres a guy selling a group of them and the bid right now is 1 dollar... http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-HEAT-SINK-W-BRACKET-AND-2-SCREWS-FROM-0JC474-LGA775-SOCKET-MOTHERBOARD-/222455669390?hash=item33cb64228e:g:FZoAAOSwWxNY25AB

yeah thats going to be an ongoing issue since i think i have only like 4 or 5 and theyre pretty expensive with fans. speaking of heatsinks is there a way to attach LEDs without the heatsinks being tapped for screws and maybe just using some kind of thermal adhesive or something? Right now on...

awesome, now i have a direction to go. I am going to return the driver i ordered and get the PSU you suggested and a five pack of those citizen cobs to start with next next paycheck two weeks later ill get another PSU and 5 more cobs and run all of those until i get afford a 3rd PSU and bring...

sorry i thought of another question: why 3500K and not 2700K for flower? is it kind of a best of both worlds approach between 2700K and 6000K or something like that? would i be ahead to just get a few of each? Like you said, if i ran 8 COBS at half power and run 8 COBs per power supply i...

ok sorry another question....i really like the idea of an adjustable power supply.....wouldnt that mean i could add many COBs in parallel and just adjust the power up until they are almost maxed out? also...i was looking at that power supply and i guess i dont understand where you adjust the...

thanks boss, thats some very useful info and those cobs for 3 USD? thats nuts! I might have to stock up on some of those. so with the power brick you mentioned how many 100w cobs can i run off that one supply without substantial dimming? Ive read i need at least 20,000 lux at the canopy and...

well the order is a done deal....paid 31 USD for two of them and 25 USD for the driver...... i figure its a learning experience so as long as they light up at all and give out a decent amount of light ill be happy with the learning aspect other than that....what outlets of parts do you...

thank you very much. I have actually been waiting until i get these to put my girls into flower so im pretty anxious but also want to get it right. Unfortunately probably because these are chinese LEDs i cannot find what the lumen output is but at 100 watts for fullspectrum would it be...
