    Is it possible to take apart a UFO grow light and rebuild in a custom shape?

    I would like to do some experimenting with LEDs in small spaces. 90w UFOs are rather cheap, but the light is too focused and I would rather have them spread out more for an area with less hight. Should it be possible to take a UFO apart and use the components to make a customized LED light...

    For all CFL growers: Original lighting reflector experiment, make sure youve got one

    All the time I see grows with many many bulbs but no reflectors. If light is important to you (as it should be) then why not optimize the lights you have before adding new ones? I did some Lux measurements of a 11W warm CFL and 23W cool, with and without a simple can reflector that I made in...

    What have been your gram results from previous CFL grows?

    One of the biggest flaws on forums is that there is no place to see what type of grows/setups achieved what results. People keep making the same mistakes and missing out on what setups worked well. What results have you gotten in previous grows with how many watts? Even low results are very...

    Poll: At What Point Do You Start Counting "Days in Flower"?

    From when on do you start counting your plants as being "in flower". Do you start the day you switch to 12/12 lighting or the day your plant starts showing sex (pistils)? Auto-flowering strains are an exception to this poll.

    Bud rot on lower popcorn buds?

    I have a 400w cabinet grow, 7 weeks in flowering with 7 plants in scrog.

At a quick glance it looks like...

    Hello fellow internet dwellers. My grow with 400w HPS is in full bloom (6 weeks) and has a carbon filter capable of filtering 300 m³/h with a fitting fan attached.
