    Blaze & Daze

    It is since I shut down my flower room. This is the first year I had a plant make it to harvest outdoors, the aphids usually kill them. I made a fixture with T8 LED bulbs from fluorescent fixtures but it doesn't have the proper spectrum for flower.

    What did you accomplish today?

    I changed 150 4’ florescent t8 light bulbs this morning before 11am . It’s not unusual for me to 240 bulbs a day , that’s why I rarely mention what I accomplished because it’s so damn mundane. I didn’t do shit for the rest of the day.

    Blaze & Daze

    50 degrees at the moment, headed to 77 and the north wind is supposed to stop. It finished the drying of the last of the outdoor plant so it's back to trim jail for me. Checked the new light to make sure everything worked ok before the return window closed, all good. Need to get my son to move...

    The yellowing and sad looking leaves is probably a nutrient imbalance from all the stuff your using. Also 5.8 is a little low for soil. And get some better light when you get a chance. Those buds will thank you.

    HPS vs LED

    I’ve never seen bud labeled or sold based off what type of light it was grown under. I’ve also never gotten different price points when buying weed that weren’t just obviously lower of higher quality, but again not labeled by the type of light or grow techniques used. A good grower with good...

    Uv led for diy, replacing flourecent t5 supplemental lighting

    I would wait on the UV LED for now and go with Solacure T12 Quartz 285nm-310nm highest UV output on the market, 2nd best option which I use as well is Migrow UV-A/B - It's a T8 310nm peak and it works like a champ. They come in 4 or 2ft bulbs for the Solacure and 2ft for the Migrow. Best UV on...

    Is a grow worthwhile for personal use

    I grow in my closet without a tent. Using LED's has made it to where I don't need to vent it for heat as of yet. There is light that comes around the sliding doors but most of the on time is during the night when the electricity rates are lower so no one visiting would see it anyway if that was...

    Viparspectra or Marshydro?

    Us growers today have it so easy. Growing up the cutting edge was T8's and hps/mh most people who grew built custom reflectors from the lights they bought at the local hardware store. Now we have so many choices and prices from hella cheap to freaking crazy expensive. I like reading the DIY...
