    3500 color temp?

    Yea, my thoughts to I don't think it would be much different which is why I got the 3500K ones. I think the HPS put out more IR like the guy above was saying. It might be the little hempy pots I have them in as I noticed under the hps the perlite / vermiculite dried out faster so I might have...

    3500 color temp?

    I just got a bridelux strip led light built using the 3500k color temp and was wondering if anybody here is using that temp with success? I'm not sure what it might be but some seedlings have been under the light for about a week and still look weak so I brought out my old trusty 150 hps and...

    Led lighting for a 36W x 18D space cabinet?

    How did you attach them to the pan, did you use screws? Did you use any thermal past?

    I'm not talking about autos, I'm talking about flowering from clone for regular strains not autos.

    stealth cabs.

    Also, and here me out on this one.... I'm strain hunting for strains that work for me, I have chronic pain and cannabis helps so much with the nerve, muscle and joint pain but at the same time a lot of the strains invoke anxiety and or fear...irrational thought. I've been experimenting with CBD...

    stealth cabs.

    I agree, 48W and putting the filter, fan and pump in the side is the way to go so you're not shooting self in the foot with a nice cab but not enough grow height to use it. Did a 12" wide tank look odd on a 20"D stand up close in your opinion? Most tank and stands I see in person don't have a...

    stealth cabs.

    I was thinking the same thing, I was going to countersink some strong magnets on the inside of the doors where the handles would be, since it's countersunk it wouldn't go all the way through so you wouldn't be able to see if from the front; then when I want to open the door I could use another...

    stealth cabs.

    Wow, how flipping cool to find something so unique and interesting and then actually find the guy who designed it over 18yrs ago! Anyways, you just touched on some of the points that I had floating around in my head for my specific needs. Sometimes the best way to hide something is in plain...

    Growing small test plants.

    Thanks, you're correct as I found a few old threads here. It seems like there's a few choices. Flowering from seed is one, flowering straight from clone, flowering when it's around 6 inches tall seem to all work. I think the flowering from seed or clone would be the best. I'd rather not use...

    Growing small test plants.

    I'm going to start growing in a cabinet soon and am looking for some advise on growing in that space. I have a main agenda, I'm strain hunting for strains that work for me; being older I like being more relaxed than heady and I'm playing with CBD for pain. So, when I'm growing and looking for...

    stealth cabs.

    I really like this to, trim out the door area with nice matching wood and you could hide that door. I'd glue magnets on the back sides of the doors and use a magnet on the opposing side to open it up and should be able to have no handles.

    Led lighting for a 36W x 18D space cabinet?

    Thanks for taking time to share and offer your input. Since I already have the driver I'll just use it and I think the meanwell driver is better than anything I could rig up. Your harvest numbers give me hope. What method of growing did you use..lst or topping etc?

    stealth cabs.

    I'm looking at considering something like this fish tank stand cab, anybody here done anything like this and or other stealth techniques / builds? The logic is that it's inconspicuous to both friends, family and god forbid a intruder.

    Led lighting for a 36W x 18D space cabinet?

    With the Hlg-185-1050 driver that's going to run them at 1A correct...so that's about 20W per strip? Since the vendor only shows the watt for 700a it's a guess. 20 watt a strip with 9 strips is 180 watt total...is that your setup? One concern I have is that it's really pushing the driver to it's...

    36W x 18inch depth storage cabinet.

    I have a larger one for kitchen stuff. I don't like it, it's not secure and I want something a more robust which is why I was going for the metal cab or just build one out of wood.
