    DIY EC Fan controller?

    Hey @shimbob I have a T6 which came with the digital display with temp/humidity. I have a feeling the fan itself is the same, likely with the same EC controller. Could you share any pictures, a wiring diagram, or just a good explanation of how you actually wired it all up? Does the fan supply...

    New light has arrived. BudgetLED Series 3+ 500watt full soec

    Ahh not a patent, a trademark. This is definitely an area I don't know a lot about, but really aren't all of these companies just waiting on the next best diode? Aren't Samsung, Cree, etc. The real innovators?

    New light has arrived. BudgetLED Series 3+ 500watt full soec

    Seems to be a solid choice to me, but I only know HID first hand so this new to me. The commentary on innovators and brand loyalty is interesting. Aren't proven designs almost always copied and iterated on by others? Aren't these lights just PCBs with smd's mounted to heatsink and powered by a...

    New light has arrived. BudgetLED Series 3+ 500watt full soec

    Just waiting on my last 2 plants to finish up under the 600 watt hps and the it's time to re jig the room. Very excited to try out LED and see if it helps my situation!

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    If you look back at a few of my more recent posts on this thread, I pretty much have what's going on figured out. OP is running a new DWC grow that is going fine, but drooped a bit when they put the HLG up. Since the last grow didn't go well under the HLG, they got worried, and posted here for...

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    I just want to be clear. From the look of your most recent pictures on your current grow, your plants do not seem to show any signs of deficiency. Drooping could have been many things, including mild stress due to an environmental change (light source). Since you have just changed to DWC for...

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    This is not a comment on @Doug Dawson 's suggestion. But I think his suggestions were based on @supernew413 's first grow which was not DWC and is not an accurate representation of the current grow, or it's overall performance. They are now trying DWC under the light for the first time. We have...

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    Ack - two grows. :wall: my mistake. I thought: "I have tried to grow" not "I have tried two grows". Ha! Totally understand man! No offense or judgement intended. I misread your very first post and was trying to sort out the order of events, pictures and problems. 2 questions: 1) Right now...

    Can't even give new guys a break when they post in the right place, this is "Newbie Central" after all? That's some tough love!

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    I'm confused. In the first set of pictures you show plants in potted medium of some sort that are fading and have a decent amount of bud development but no indication of how far along you are. Then you state: Which is different then the pictures show. You also mention cal mag in your feeding...

    HLG550 v2 rspec

    If you have the light up that high, and had the tent working with HID, then it's almost certainly not intensity or heat. How far along are you? Those pics are certainly more than 3 days in, and look somewhat like the fade that happens late flower if food starts to run low and the plant is...

    End of week 12 and wtf

    More info will help. I searched up your light, and from what I can find, they claim it will replace a 250watt HPS and flower a 3.5'x3.5' area. This is exaggerated. If you had that over a 3.5x3.5 you'd only be getting around 20watts per sqft of blurple light. While watts per sqft aren't...

    Need a little help guys

    There's a lot of good stuff here! I have so much to learn, even guys growing simple organic methods have some serious horticultural knowledge! It's funny when you are the "expert" in your circle, then swim into a bigger pond! Anyway, I was just curious if this could be something simple like...

    Lime's Journey

    I wish I could keep vegging plants in my kitchen! I'd keep a few just as regular house plants just for fun, get it nice and jungle-y in here and maybe keep the RH up over winter. If I was growing for comedy, it is going excellently. Half way through week 17 now on the 2 Lemon Thai Kush. They...

    Black pods appearing on plants

    If you are going to see it through, you will learn something, and maybe get something out of it. I would consider researching washing buds after harvest. If you make it to the end, you may have a lot more bugs crawling in your buds. There are methods to safely rinse your buds that some growers...

    What is this on plants?

    No, it is good. Through proper feeding and care. Wait for it to finish swelling, harvest, dry, and smoke. Looks good to me.

    Black pods appearing on plants

    The OP mentions using only plain water in generic vigoro potting mix under a 400 watts HPS. I'm not judging as I can't see from the pics, but I strongly suspect there isn't a lot up top, and by 6 to 8 weeks and with that many bugs, you have to wonder if the manual effort required to control the...

    Black pods appearing on plants

    Are you agreeing with me? or only saying that in more of a questioning way? I only ask as I was not sure but did think the light green bumps looked like Aphids. I have limited experience with insects, mostly Aphids, Spider Mites, and some thrips, all outdoors.

    Black pods appearing on plants

    I meant to add, my accompanying solution would be to scrap it as a learning experience. Clean really well, try to address whatever environmental problem that exists to prevent future bugs, and research a little on feeding cannabis through flower. Vigoro and plain water would not be enough for...

    Black pods appearing on plants

    Absolutely insects. The light green bumps look like Aphids, and the dark ones might be scale? Your plants are not doing well at all, and the infestation seems pretty significant. At 6 to 8 weeks, you should have some pretty substantial bud growth, but from the little I can see, it seems pretty...
