    Experiences with Timber Grow Lights

    I can't measure the gain bounty hunter but I've DCed the single potentiometer for 3 drivers and 18 COBS. That's a cool little MacGyver move and its endorsed by Dan. Give it everything you have. It would be nice but not necessary to know what tangible benefits there are. Maybe I'll just go and...

    Timber grow lights?

    I'm giving her all she'll take captain. Well at least I thought I was. I've got 900W of Timber Grow wired to a single potentiometer and I'm cranking it right so if i can get a little more why not? Danimal it looks like your giving it the big thumbs up so consider it done. DC the potentiometer.

    chicken coupe ideas? (sorry don't know where to post this)

    Chickens... it's more fun watching them than TV. I HAD a dozen red rocks and RI reds but they are not the smartest bird out there. SOMETHING killed all of them in a single 24 hour period by pulling their heads through the fencing. You might think that after they saw a few of their sisters having...

    Bought a House with an old orchard. Any tips or hints?

    Idk where your located but I'm in Z6 and I have failed with all the members of the prunus (sp) family from cherries to apricots and peaches. There is some sort of rust or blight that gets them b4 they mature. I probably should have noticed that the choke cherries growing wild here are all sick...

    Timber grow lights?

    MIne are not free floating in the L. I drilled out 1/8th inch holes and used the supplied screws. I did add washers and locks but just is/wasn't necessary. They are not going anywhere. You could use 80/20 stock but I didn't know it existed when I built and I think it's a bit of an overkill. I...

    Timber grow lights?

    I'll tell you what Budski I couldn't be happier with my Timber Grow DIY LED kits. Granted I'm only 3+- weeks into my first grow with them but I've never seen plants come out of the gate like these girls are and I'm including my preferred method which is under the sun. Thankfully I don't need to...

    For your review. I give you 4 different issues.

    I should have thought about the epsom salts satori because I use a shit ton of it on the vegetable garden. It's hard to go wrong with the stuff. Year after year I just wasn't being as successful as I should have been with peppers. The Bells, jalapeño,Hungarian etcetera just were not cutting it...

    Foliar feeding with a humidifier??

    Stoned in my grow room wondering whether there would be any merit to using the humidifier to foliar feed. I'm sure it would work just fine but I would be worried about any salts or precipitates accumulating on everything in the room not just the leaves. Oh Nevermind...

    Otay.. I will mix up a bottle of Epsom salts right now. That's easy enough. Every pot does have a rusty nail in it but I doubt that's making any difference at all, it's just habit. Any guesses what loser error occurred with number one?

    For your review. I give you 4 different issues.

    A weak seaweed tea made with water from the Koi pond and mostly Irish Moss and knotted rockweed.(rinsed). I water when dry. Snot good to water on top of water. It allegedly makes O2 intake more difficult but IDK. I haven't even checked the PH yet but I will. Dolomite takes to much time to work...

    For your review. I give you 4 different issues.

    Involving 4 separate plants. Dazed and confused you've stumbled into the "What the &#$* zone". I'm going to be weeding three out anyway so all is well. The first plants condition is due simply to my being dolt. Time will heal this one. She just has to grow out of it. The second plant I just...

    How long should I veg??

    I like the great outdoors for that reason sixstring. For me growing true monsters in raised beds using my own soil is like the quest to grow the world's largest pumpkin. Big to me is when they have a trunk and not a stem and you could beat a seal to death with a limb. HaHa. That's a fine chair...

    How long should I veg??

    CannaP your grow seems to be pretty much the same set up as mine. I did three 300w DIY LED COBS kit all wired as one. I'll be able to get as close to the ceiling as the pin heat sinks will allow. I do have the issue that I started with 30 female beans and am down to the 12 most healthy. Problem...

    Nutrient Recommendations Wanted.

    Running my first grow ever with LED's and it's also my first grow not using my own soil. Im using 50% Promix and 50% FF to which I added bone and blood meal as well as a sterilized pile of wormy casting from the vermaculture bin. It looks like in hind sight the FF is pretty well loaded nutrient...

    A quickie on temp and humidity.

    You my Canadian friend are a genius but for every link such as yours I can find one that is contrary. I was hoping for first hand experiential info. Thanks though. I made the mistake of looking at how to germinate. Glasses of water, roughing up the beans, hydrogen peroxide, paper towels...

    How long should I veg??

    Actually I'm not stressed at all about the grow itself but the new lighting system presents a learning curve. Barring catastrophe this will be a cakewalk. I been grafting woodies for forty years and have bred my own named and accepted Hemeracalis/Daylily and maintain a half acre veggie garden...

    A quickie on temp and humidity.

    My Temps are running mid 80's during the day and dropping to high 70's to low 80's at night. My humidity is in the low 40% range sometimes spiking to mid 50%. Should I be tweaking those numbers or just leave things alone. Thanks.

    How long should I veg??

    I need a little help with this one. I'm vegging under 900 watts of 3590's but my ceiling height is barely five feet. I will end up running 9 plants under 18 COBS. I've pinched once and want to pinch once more b4 I switch to 12/12. I'm assuming that once I switch I'm done pinching or at least...

    900 Watts of 3590's. First LED Grow.

    The girls are looking fine after their transplant or at least there is no shock visible. Hopefully they will take off over the next few days. I've always grown in my own composted soil and usually the girls just require a little bit of generic organic 10-10-10 to keep them happy during...

    900 Watts of 3590's. First LED Grow.

    I gotta say that the speed with which these girls came out of the gate is amazing. Can't wait to see them settle in to their new pots. Root development at two weeks is wicked pissa. Soil is a blend of FF, Promix, my own composted seaweed and some bone and blood meal. Still not sure what I'm...
