    Jesus christ... has anyone reliably solved the issues of weak growth in early veg under LED? What's the answer????

    Honestly I'm thinking at this point to just get myself a t5 fluoro and go back to doing it old school. In all my years growing, I just put plants into coir, fed them 1.0ec of a base feed, and stuck the fluorescent light on them and watched them boom. two weeks and a pot up later and I'm almost...

    Quick Driver Question

    Hey folks, is it advisable to use a HLG-480H-48B to power Bxeb Gen 3 strips? Does the driver adjust for the lower voltage (38ish) of the strips, or is there a way to mitigate by using more strips etc? Thanks in advance

    How true is it that the Reserva Privada/DNA stable has fell the fuck off?

    I'm about to put a seed order in and had a few old favourites from their lines that I want to revisit... and the more I'm reading the more I'm hearing talking about them losing their original parent strains and none of the quality being the same. Anyone got any recent experience of their stuff...

    Have a look at this and see how it compares with the Geekbeast and Hortibloom

    Hey, need some help deciding on what light to get next. I've already got the geekbeast and I've been contemplating the Hortibloom with Sanan chips. Then I saw this the other day and am thinking of asking them to swap out the 960w driver for a 480/600w. I really only need 480w for the space...

    Have I shorted my strips?

    Hey, long story short I've just finished build and hooked it up straight to the mains without the driver like a dickhead. They turned on for a milisecond and then went out. Hooked up the driver and now they won't come on. Have I fucked the strips? Thanks

    Okay... See any problems - Or better options - Before I pull the trigger on this?

    Right it's crunch time for me and Leds I think. After much deliberating I've settled on what to do but I need some last bits of advice about the build. This is my idea for the strips 5 strips on each light, mixing 3 of these Lm301b with 2 of these LM301H CREE XP-E2 660NM 730NM LG UV...
