Thanks man, actually had it in the humidity plug lmao. Damn chinese manufacturer put #2 ahead of #1 making it confusing. Plugged in now set at 80 degrees Farenheit, with a differential of 4 degrees. So hopefully the fans will just turn on when it gets over 84 degrees (AND VOILA right as I...

Thanks man, I've been thinking about getting a intake fan but its a small veg tent 2'x2'x4' and have a 6" 240 CFM exhaust fan. I've been playing around with it with my 230W CFLs on and it seems like the fan is always on, keeping the tent at about 81 degrees Farenheit and 30% Humidity (no plants...

Hey guys, Bought this humidity/temperature controller off Amazon and thought that it would control BOTH of in regards to powering my fan. However, after hooking everything up and setting Humidity/Temp I noticed that there were 2 places to plug into. Work 1: For Humidity Work 2: For...

Pro tip tyvm

Thanks man, thought the CFLs that close could burn the seedling but you just reaffirmed what I've been reading about having CFLs as close as possible. Now waiting on my seeds to arrive! Got Karma Genetics Biker Kush and White Beelze Bubba incoming :fire: Edit: Also using the CFLs primarily...

Thanks for the info. Thought it was weird to put it under a light as I read roots hate light. When the cotyledons appear, what do you think would be the ideal height I should place my 230W CFL lights at. I built a custom reflector thats pretty big for the tent I'm in...

Getting different answers from all the videos and books so was wondering what the case was? I already bought a heating mat with adjustable temp controller, so would all I need to do is place the humidity dome under the mat and put it in a dark place? Or should I just plant the seeds and...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll most likely be running 230W + 210W lights, a 240 6" CFM fan hooked up to a humidity/temp monitor. All in all should not exceed 1000W

Hey guys, So basically finished setting up my veg tent for my seedling phase and was wondering if using these many power boxes was dangerous. http://imgur.com/pxGua7D http://imgur.com/ys7p8nB So basically, going to use 6500k CFLs (230W) for my ten seedlings and used a very cheap build to make...

Thanks for the response!

I plan on having at least 4 Bonzai Mother plants in my Veg Tent (2'x2'x4') and was planning on using 6500K 200W CFL lights for the first four weeks and then switching the lights with my 200W 3500K COB LED lights. Would there be any environmental/light shock from this switch to my plants? I...

Hey guys, Got bored of waiting for all my DIY COB parts to arrive, so went down to Home Depot and bought some CFL lights. Basically here are the parts: 8x 6500k 23W CFL Bulbs (1600 lumens per bulb) 4x Y-Shaped Dual Bulb Holder 4x Bulb to outlet converter 2x Power Strips 1x 15"x2.5" Piece of...

Hey was I was thinking about getting 2 6500K Citizen 1212 COBs and 2 4000K Citizen 1212 COBs for my vegetation tent and was wondering what your opinion was. I'm basing color temperature and spectrum off of this...

In Color Spectrum/Temperature I heard CFLs and LEDs are pretty close in comparison with LEDs being a little better (?) and so I did some comparison with CWL's VegMaster and here are its specs: https://californialightworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SolarStorm_220_SpecSheet_2015.pdf...

Getting Citizen COBs and I think 3500k pure whites give of ~600 nm closer to the red spectrum. From what I'm reading ~600 nm red range has no chlorophyll benefits while 6500k will give off ~440 nm and 4000k will give of ~590 nm a good mix of blue and light red spectrum. Also from what I'm...

Just a quick question. If you had to choose between a 4000k or 6500k light for vegetation which one would you go with? 4000k is still in the lighter blue spectrum right? Thinking about maybe going 2 4000k COBs and 2 6500k COBs, I hear some red light spectrum is needed for vegetation. Trying...

Thanks CREE calls it Relative Spectral Power (on the Y-axis of the chart). I should've linked where I was getting these numbers from: http://ce.citizen.co.jp/lighting_led/dl_data/datasheet/en/COB_5/CLU048-1212C4_P3368_1115.pdf (PG 7) So what you're saying is Radiative Intensity/Relative...

I'm also wondering if there is a difference between between light spectrums (nm) for COBs and other lights like MH/HID/CFL. Because my COBs are white lights from what I understand and was wondering if the 6500k temperature makes it emit more blue spectrum light.

Hey guys after reading around 3 grow books, I stumbled on a part by Ryan Riley's Growing Elite Marijuana where he says that during seedling/vegetation that higher blue spectrum will increase the odds of your plants being female, is this true? If so I was thinking about switching out my 36V...
