This is my 80*80*180 cm tent and this time of the year its around 27c outside. Inside the tent was 32-34. I found a temporary solution cause im nearly 3 weeks away from the harvest. I covered the tents door with some fly net . Its still around 29 inside the cabinet but its better than 34. Do...

So I wanted to start journal to keep track of my grows. I'll add more info over the next couple days to get caught up to where I am. With that being said, let me provide the specs and details of my grow spaces and what's inside them. I have been growing perpetually for some time now. Just...

Hey everyone. Im in the situation, that i can only check my plants once or twice a week, so i need to make some kind of auto-watering device. I do have the sonoff 3g/4g that i can turn on and off whenever needed, so i need some device that can water my plant when given power. I only need to...

I want to add another 3x3x6 tent and want to give the DIY LED a go this time to try and save some money. What's the easiest DIY setup there is with a light powerful enough for my tent? I don't mind waiting if things are cheaper on a site like Alibaba either. Thanks in advance.

Hoping y'all can help me out. I'm building 2 - 8 container RDWC systems, one veg and one bloom. One I'm planning 5-7 gal buckets w/ 8" bucket lid net pots and 15gal tote res for veg. Total volume ~40gal and pump will be about 400gph. The bloom will be an 8 site 15gal tote setup with 27gal...

I've gone back and forth with stakes I've made from metal coat hangers and Velcro tie downs. I love how you can just stick Velcro tie downs to the side of fabric posts but I've always had issues with getting them to hold onto the branches properly. I had this idea today and it's the best of...

Hi All, i am planning to diy a cob led. I have decided to go with the BXRC-35E10K0-D-73-SE, 4 of them to run in my 3X3 tent. My doubt is i have seen people asking not to drive COB's at higher Amperes. The max current for this LED is 4.2A. So if i am using a meal well 2.1A driver, is it good to...

Hey everyone! I've been searching awhile, trying to understand all aspects of growing in a cabinet! "What is the best solution for _____" <- lots of these on Google! Interestingly, a lot of the answers pointed to this forum! Thought I'd join and run what I'd cobbled together by some folks...

Hey guys, first post and first journal on here! I have only one harvest under my belt and this will be my second grow ever. As I was on a little bit of a budget for this grow I put together most of the stuff from around the house. Feel free to follow, chime in and make suggestions and comments...

So i have been searching and searching for ways to cut my grow cost. I like growing but it can get costly. In my quest I stumbled into light dep., and the more I read about it the more I was hooked. My biggest cost in growing is my lights or the electric bill. Keeping up with the trend I was...

Hey guys! New to rollitup, I just purchased a 500w grow tent and everything is growing well in there. But I’m new to the scene and I enjoyed the set up so much I wanted to do a diy project. I picked up two shitty Walmart led plant lights 65 W each, and I hung one over a mini box I made, it has...

It's roughly been 4 weeks since I started, I had to take down the temporary build I started with and I just finished setting this up last week or so. It's still under construction. I am content with the build so far. Unfortunately, the tempt tent killed one plant (blackberry auto) I had to put...

Hello Friends, SO I'm hoping I can get som help on this asap because I need all the lights I can have working since I just switched to flowering... Just a little while ago I noticed my Light seemed a little less bright, and after inspection, i found that a bunch of the leds were no longer...

Hey welcome to my DIY Grow box thread, I’ve been using this janky grow box made out of a storage container and a windshield sun shade taped along the inside. It’s doing the job...kinda. Looking down on my creation of budget, I decided to beef up my idea and make a more reliable sturdy grow...

Hey Guys. I am planning to build a Grow Box 2x2x6 (60x60x180). I need this grow to be secret tho, and need to hear your opinion, on if this is even possible. I was looking at the Spiderfarmer SF1000, since they produce less heat/watt and use no noisy fans. I am considering to buy 3 pc fans...

Hey there, random rollitup dweller! I found these LEDs while browsing AliExpress for my diy grow lights. Reviews are pretty good, but I can't really believe that you can buy 50w cobs for a couple of bucks (especially knowing how much they like to exaggerate specs on the Aliexpress). So the...

Hi there, I am currently designing a cannabis grow operation. Right now, I have 1 1000w HPS grow light for every 16 sq ft of grow space, giving each sq ft about 62.5w (close to the ideal 65w/sq ft). LED grow lights aren't really in our budget, but I've heard you can cut the cost by around 3x if...

Hello everone one. I'm in the progress of building my own LED pannel, I started with ordering some @ 2700 K (max approx 6W pr LED) Now i need to order some more, and the postage and custom stuff cost more than the LEDs, so thought to ask what you guys recommend in regards to what other color...

The question of how much of a certain color is often asked. I'm not professing to know the exact ratios, but attached is a little excel file to help you figure it out. You only need to enter the number of chips, your desired brightness from 0 - 5 and then a custom efficiency if the LEDs are...
