Basically I was thinking of cutting off their switch and inserting a programmable bluetooth switch. I just don't know exactly what to search for, kinda a waste to have UV/IR with no programmable switches, I think. Something like this...

Just bought another 2 board setup from kingbrite. With ir/uv not sure I will use ir or uv, unless I setup a timer... Any suggestions on timer switches and when to run ir and uv? They claim 200 lumens per watt on the newest F series

Its pretty amazing, this thread most say no flush, yet a thread days before this one https://www.rollitup.org/t/flush-vs-dont-flush-argument.1030461/ most say you have to flush. So have fun with that. Personally I do both every grow, because I have 2-4 week harvest. I can't really tell a...

where you get that spreadsheet? Wanna share?

Maybe soon we will have legit research into this stuff. But for now trying to extrapolate any useful information from non scientific studies is... Just for fun. After years of growing and trying different nute lines and boosters. I find they seem to work. But always improving other aspects so...

Fair enough. You loose control with loco, and I think its a bit hot, with not quite enough drainage, adding perlite makes it the perfect coco for me. I think I will add some pure coco as well maybe a 70/20/10 loco/coco/perlite

So your coco bliss 2.2 cu ft for $16 plus time to treat, cost of nutrients to load, is.somehow cheaper than $18 2 cu ft bag of.coco loco? Plus extra space and equipment. I.doubt you can achieve the same profile as coco loco for $2, assuming your value your time at $0. The cost of entry to get...

I use coco loco it is 3000 ppm out the bag. I got slight twist, tip burn on a leaf or 3. But I thought I might have over watered, big pot small plant. Eventually after roots establish and daily watering starts it really takes off. But seems it can be over watered. Or.maybe it was a nute...

So I just put some seedlings in coco loco feeding 5.9 ph no nutes. But.getting slight tip burn and very slight twist. First time with coco loco, the run off I read is 3k out of the bag, and I confirmed such. 3000 ppm is crazy, ph is stable. You don't have issues with seedlings in loco?

I've never seen such an idiot. You sound.like a fool you don't even have a basic understanding of plant chemistry.

All going well. 4th week of flower looks very good. I’m skeptical about 330watt qb vs 600w hps but so far looks as good hard to tell really. It does seem lower buds are doing better more even 12+ inches below. What driver should I get to drive two boards to max, max safe/recommended. Like 240w

:) yeah... i was just coming to post that. My multimeter is dead not going out tonight, but turning the dimmer up put the watts where they should be, at the wall. I should have specified it was a killawatt meter like device. And now im realizing its Vac? yeah i kinda dont know what im...

so you are saying im outside the spec? I'd like to do that but i'd like to see these three perform as spec below. I'm 3 weeks in flower and wouldn't mind throwing a 4th in there. lux Characteristics with QB 288 V2 3000K, S6 Bin at 55C VDC Current (mA) Watts at Board Lm/W at Board (55C)...

I'll try it tonight, I was hoping more amps would lead to higher watts.

slate 1 x 3, I checked right after, and hours after. It crept up from 115 to 117-118. Maybe my meter is wrong, its a smart outlet. Was pretty much at 600W with hps. It was pretty warm/hot but you could touch it for extended periods probably indefinitely.

I'm not sure, i think its series.

I did not because its a 2.1A and already reading 2.4. But I will check, just stick a flat head in there and turn?

So I got them installed went well. However the three boards combined are 118V, and the amps are at 2.4A (283watts) vs 148.5V x 2.4A = 356Watt. Its a loss of 73Watts or 20.5% loss. Shouldn't these things be pretty exact on voltage? maybe off but 1-3% not 20%, its a pretty big loss of...

1100 on a brand new hps I assume. Mine is over a year old and cheap brand. Since I got three units I was going to organize them in a triangle pattern for the best spread. But drawing it out probably like this easier to frame. Simple T | | --X-X-- ----|---- ----|---- ----X----...

I feel like I should have gotten a bigger driver to push 3 boards to 450. Why not push them higher? I'm replacing a 600hps that I get about 1g /W or more. For the wire I think I'll just strip a 3 prong plug. I think they are 18ga
