    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    Great analogy :D. Some of those Camry's are nice as some "luxury" sedans anymore, they have came a long way. If I wasn't so stuck on GM I'd consider buying one lol.

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    Yea, since this will be my first LED fixture it will be a good way to experiment and learn it. It will stay solely in the flower room so I won't use it for veg, unless it does really well and I buy more later on. Either way, I think it's a decent middle of the road LED to get my feet wet and...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    So I ended up purchasing a ViparSpectra KS5000. Amazon had it listed for $469, had a $100 off coupon, and I used an additional promo code for another 10% off. In total, with taxes it was under $400, so I might buy another one once I get it up and running for a few days. Specs from Coco For...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    It's definitely an odd size, the way it got to that was it's in the basement, the basement has a cinder block wall that runs down the middle with a doorway to the other side. Each side of the basement is about 12-15 ft from center wall to foundation wall. I just built a wall across, going from...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    I'm U.S., and would prefer something from a U.S. company/builder. Nothing against Chinese products but they don't seem to have the best track record with things. I've heard of some of the Chinese ones catching fire or getting extremely hot, and some that won't turn completely off when the...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    This is true in my case. I guess I want my cake and eat it too. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to the things that I enjoy so I research and try to learn as much as possible. So I've been trying to learn as much as I can before buying into LED. I just don't want to spend $600-$1000 on...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    I agree that it's a waste with the 1000 and 600 over that canopy. I started with the 600, wanted to see if having a 1000 would increase yield and how much it would do so by. Since they are in an air cooled fixture I figured I would just put them in the same area and tie them together to get...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    The local shop has these, new, for $1,000. They also have a photobio mx 680w for about $680; has anyone heard of this brand before? Since I've never used LED I don't know about many brands, other than the big brands like Spiderfarmer, HLG, and Mars Hydro. I've heard of LED's catching fire...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    I don't really have a budget, but I do tend to be cheap. If I can justify spending more I will. Starting off, I'm looking to stay under $1000 - needs justified to go that high, but since I'm new to LED I'm probably going to stick around the $600 range. If I can get one LED that produces...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    I was just on coco for cannabis going through his tests and reviews he's done. To be more accurate with my area, the space is 9 x 6, but the usable area would be more like 7 x 6. Mars Hydro lists their FC-E6500 at 730 watts, with a max coverage of 5 x 5 which is what they say 1000w hps is good...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    Oh ok. Would you say an average of 1000 ppfd is ideal? What's the lowest you would go on that as well as umols?

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    With my current HPS lighting, I have a combined 2200 watts, for a total of around 40 watts per sq. ft. Maybe I'm over thinking it and making it more complicated than what it needs to be. Is wattage per sq. ft. more important than umol's and average ppfd? Let's say I go with a light that is...

    Looking Into LED - No Clue Where To Start

    As the title stated, I've been looking into switching over to LED. Currently I run one 1000w hps, and two 600w hps for flower in a 9ft x 6ft room. Heat was a big issue until I placed a 12,000 btu move n cool in room and exhaust to attic. With having the move n cool, several pumps for hydro...

    WOW.....It's been a while.

    Sorry to hear man. Hope everything gets back in order for you and you get back to it again. Best of luck.

    WOW.....It's been a while.

    Yes it is. I was recently at the local indoor garden store and all the stuff they have available is wild. Not only that, they can openly talk about growing now. Threw me off considering all the people in there and they were talking about how many pounds they pull with LED's. It blew me away...

    Let's Hear It -- Best Nutrients -- What Do You Say?

    True to an extent, but they do play a part. Bad quality nutrients won't feed the plant to it's full potential causing it lack in many areas.

    Let's Hear It -- Best Nutrients -- What Do You Say?

    As the title mentioned, what are your opinions on who has the best nutrients for Hydroponics and/or Soil? If you want to give more detail as to what they have in their line up throw it in there too. Categories: Yield: Taste: Smell: Price: Ease Of Use: Overall:

    WOW.....It's been a while.

    I joined rollitup maybe around 10-12 years ago and learned so much from a lot of different people back then. A friend of mine has a nice grow and it brought back so many memories, good and bad. It started making me remember how new I was to growing, how little I actually knew, and how much...

    ice / crystal grow update

    Nice pics. I have a lot of experience with Ice, and I found it odd that you say yours has barely any smell to it. In all my experience with that strain I can tell you that it is very very strong smelling. With having an inline fan and air scrubber the whole house still smelled so strong even...

    Looking for some good info on a few strains

    One of the worst things is having some beans that you wanna start but don't have the room. At one point in time, and I'm sure this is probably childs play compared to others, but I had about 12 to 15 different strains, but didn't have the room to run them all. It bugs me cause I would have...
