    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

    will 400w of led challenge a 1000w hps???

    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...

    lumatek dual 600W ballast

    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

    Black Dog Platinum XL LED grow

    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...

    will 400w of led challenge a 1000w hps???

    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...

    Black Dog Platinum XL LED grow

    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...

    LED light for 4x4 Grow Tent

    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

    will 400w of led challenge a 1000w hps???

    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

    will 400w of led challenge a 1000w hps???

    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...

    3 600w or 2 1000

    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...

    Can't keep 4x4x7 room cool (without AC)

    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

    does skunk smell like diesel ?

    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

    Hello new girl here! :)

    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...

    Black Dog Platinum XL LED grow

    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

    PAR Quantum Light Meter - LED vs. HPS - Cold start flux output vs. Running

    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...
