Well you might have done a lot of homework on american bullshit, but how about Russia? Have you read Anna Politkovskaya's (RIP) "Putin's Russia", for instance? It's a great book, a piece or real journalism as well. Maybe you have, would you say all that insane shit goes on in the US as well...

Dude you obviously have no idea. Yes, lots of fucked up shit in the US. A two-party system has never really seemed like a real democracy to me. But Russia is a whole different world.. I live in a bordering country in the former USSR and the shit they pull all the time is just insane. I can see...

Liberty caps don't bruise blue. But these are definitely not liberty caps

Before I went DIY with COBs I was seriously tempted to buy a lamp from "Spectro light", made in Poland. And IMHO it still just might be the best European pre-built lamp.

I've used Phillips bulbs that are 115lm/w if the info on the package is to be believed. 28w per sq.foot has worked well for me, doesn't seem to have much penetration though.

I have 49w per sq.ft., which I know is a lot but at 40cm from the canopy it's about 50klux all around the room. The hps also had about 50lux right beneath it but dropped off to aroind 15 in the corners. BUT it doesn't look like bleaching and the lowest leaves are affected the hardest. New...

I wouldn't say that they were in the "cold" before, I just raised the tempreture since that's what everyone seems to suggest for LEDs. I'm too paranoid to post any pictures tbh, i live under a nazi goverment as far as drugs are concerned :-?. From what i've gathered they mostly look mag def...

Should have mentioned it before... I use soil.. would that change anything?

Thanks for your reply. I use 3500k Citizen 1212s. I've been reluctant to buy cal/mag since I have pretty hard tap water and most of that hardness is calcium AFAIK. By lots of it you mean with every feed/watering?

Hey all! Has anyone else had a hard time adjusting from HPS to COB LEDs? I was doing relatively well before but the plants either don't seem to like the LEDs too much or it's just bad luck or something. Everyone seems to add some cal/mag after switching to COBs, my tap water should have...

Yes they were femmed AND bought from a spanish growshop... goddamn it's not hard to make femmed seeds and if there are issues with your product any decent company should not sell it. Made overseas or not.

Out of my 6 GTH#1 seeds, 4 cracked and never went any further, no taproot came out. The other 2 didn't even crack. I'm disappointed to say the least. Maybe the seeds were old or whatever, I have no way of knowing, but I can't see myself buying any RD seeds any time soon, which is a real shame...

That's what I used with a 4A fuse, different driver thou (but the same wattage).

Thanks a lot, released the predators, crossing my fingers it'll help. I know I'll probably battle them up until harvest, hopefully the plants will make it that far.

Hey all, I have a really bad spider mite issue for the first time, i ordered some predatory mites which were supposed to arrive in a week, so I also sprayed some neem on the plants this morning. Turns out, the predators arrive today! Will the neem be bad for them too? I did some research and it...

What i have done is spraying one branch (actually half a plant that was divided in two via topping) and after the pods started appearing, watch them closely and pick them as they mature. Each mature one you pick can then be pulled to pieces with tweezers on a nearby but. In a weeks time you'll...

E27 bulbs and sockets can be bought in any hardware store though, that would be their advantage i guess and it's the easiest build imaginable. Plus they work just fine. Can't really imagine a major grow with them but for a micro box... great stuff. I actually measured their lux output...

Real nice, but I would suggest to use household LED bulbs instead. More light per watt, a more directional light and less heat. Here's a great thread with some actual measurements: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=314806 CFLs are dead :hump:

tme.eu for meanwell drivers in europe if that's where you're at. Although it might be cheaper to buy components from china, even after shipping and taxes.

Yeah I'm in EU that's why I said 230...although it's actually 220. Thanks everyone for the help:joint:
