Silver back gorillas and giant squids. Not to long ago they were mythical creatures. But so where dragons. Some day we might know. Until then..... Sidd

Pizzapuffer, what do you mean by penetration? i feel this is a word thrown around with no meaning. A photon of non uv will not penetrate a leaf. when lower canopy bud is larfy and does not devolpe fully it is because enough light did not reach it. Inverse square law of indoor lighting has...

Hey Artemisia, don't get one. They will burn out. They run twice as hot. And then you will have two ballast out. I bought one because i only had 4 240V outlets and thought i could squeeze one more ballast out. And it went out. And i was double fucked. So what chemdog said is right. Sidd

I will have to miss this run. But if you do this again in the fall i want in. And I fully plan on beating 10 g per cup :) just out of curosity why from seed? I want to see some big numbers from you guys/gals? Fuck the 10g mark that is for HPS. Crush this shit. Sidd

Hey Square, the ten inches is total. Five from center. just enough to help with shadding. Someone once said light movers dont create photons. When I was researching light movers, i looked at all the reviews. The people who said they were awesome had them moving short distances, the people who...

I agree, I am obviously pro LED. But most the companies are selling snake oil. And it hurts the good companies. They make crazy claims like a 400 will hang with a 1000. and that it only cost $400. I wish. It really is you get what you pay for. HPS is cheap, it has been around since the 70's...

Got a question for you guys and gals, I use AN big bud. It is really expensive but i have always loved the results. So my questions is: I know BB has P K Mg and amino acids in it. Has anyone ever tried using amino acids from weight lifting supplements, and then just a basic P K plus Epsom Salt...

I am pro Black Dog. You can check out what i am doing with their biggest light. Where did you move the cab pics to? can you paste a thread link Sidd

00 A Black Dog BD700 at 1500 will do it. You will save cash and hassle. If you go to there website you can listen to some independent reviews. You can veg and flower under the one light. I am really happy with my XL Sidd

Hey troutfly, 1500 watts is not unusual. A big screen TV with a good stereo will use that. A computer use at least 600 watts and the monitior 200 or more. My old roommate had 3 PC with 2 monitors on all the time. Yes you can veg under a flower spectrum LED, growth is great. Sidd

Hey, No you really need a full spectrum of light to produce high yields. The auxilary pigments are necessary for rapid photosynthesis. So if you had 15 different LED wavelengths you would get there. 4 is going to come up short Sidd

LED hatters come check my thread. I will post the plant cam stop motion at the end of the grow. I did drop some serious coin to get my unit $2000. But i save 300 watts of electricity cost thats about $12 a month in savings, not counting heat, plus no $129 bulb change every six months. And I...

Got some updates, everything looks great. Doing a res change tonight. Here are some pics, One thing I would like to note is that i am not using Bud Ignitor or Bud Blood on these. Sidd

Hey Full of Purple, I bought the bull shit of 600 producing 90% of the light of a 1000. I did the exact thing you are asking. My experience has been that my 2 old magnetic 1000 far outperformed my 3 digital 600. And a light mover doesn't create photons but it does decrease shadows, I am a big...

Just to double check. Your lights are on at night correct? also you said you are using a cool tube but made no mention of what size res and chiller you have it working with. A bigger res helps. and you can change the water every night to let the chiller turn off. wasteful but works. Sidd

all true. I grew and old school skunk from sam the skunk man, and it smelled just like when a skunk was living under my deck. No carbon filter could cover it up. But the good news is my house smelled like a skunk lived under the deck and not pot. Sidd

Hey Samantha, Dont start growing. It is way to addictive. And after your first harvest when you realized you made a thousand mistakes, but your smoke is still better than anything you can buy, and that you are 100% certain that there are no crazy pesticides in it, because you grew it your self...

Day 3 updates, So I kept bumping the plant cam so I moved it to a less in the way place and screwed it to the frame. Here are two updates, you can see ducting from my last HPS being ducted out of the room. You can also see the tubing for my CO2 going over the LED. Sidd

Hey Rasser, My understanding, when growing with LED the bleaching you can cause is from IR. And PAR meters do not measure IR, IR is above 700 nm, and your PAR meter probably stops measuring around 700 nm. Double check me on that, but that is what I remember, Have you done kill-a-watt readings...
