Those roots are looking amazing .. thats a smart pot correct? I have thought about using old thirts to make fabric pots but looking for a way to mimic those smart pots..

Alright y'all know who it is. That one guy. Hi.

Really looking good pf. People have no faith in you but your doing very well.

I wont lie I am a little jealous of the free lights but that's an awesome hook up! I unlike others don't really care how you get them, free or not, your the right person to let play with them.

You did kinda flip flop on the all white tho, although good bud can be grown with it you and I both know it's advantageous to have more color.

AND for all this talk of uv... talk need to let it go. I wouldn't say I'm the expert on it but I know a thing or 2. Spent a couple hundred on if lights and quite a few different harvests with it.

And it's not worth the trouble or cost effective. Not saying it can't do some things just saying the results aren't worth it. Not to mention stunting than can occur as well as the fact to really reach useful levels. flouro can't really cut it and and other lights are hot and expensive and not to mention the added watts flouro or otherwise.

I am uninterested. Jk

How much per bag does the cost come out to be?

Not a bad idea. But I'm just sitting here thinking-wondering rather, how much sowing, cutting, measuring, and time it's gonna take. I'd need a lot of bags :-)

Poly, welcome back. Hope you can stick around

I don't see where I flip-flopped. I think the confusion s I have 2 tents: one is t5, the other led

I have been promoting/using all white LEDs for 2 years.

Been comparing them to my t5, where I have used multi color bulbs because I already owned them. The only reason why the t5 result was always bigger was, it had 2Xs+ the wattage/coverage


No mas, thanks to the BML Spyder 600. Just not sure how long before it gets here, but the 2 x 3ft rails should arrive by Wednesday to supplement my 2 WHITE ufos. It is 95% 2700/3000, but I added 2 @ 450 + 3 @ 660 just in case. Can't hurt, right?

Very simple unfortunately I'm out of not only duck tape but the last guy I helped set up stole everything including my landscaping cloth the sowing is quick ill show you using panda film which I usually just use duck tape on but I have tons of foul tape just have to figure how to post anything on here picture wise anyways (maybe college can help doubtful though)

PM him. No need to clutter my thread up with DIY grow pots, or start your own thread so others can see it

I started my led experience about 2.5 years ago... started out with a 300 watt panel(veg/bloom) im pretty sure it had uv or ir or both... i thought to myself heck i can build my own lights.. so thats when i realized that white leds are the brightest/intense compared to the lower lumen red and blue.. but it seems like everybody can agree whites are the future... with of course supplemental 630-660 nm.. ir and uv.. pet are yu adding ir or uv to your grow space?

Yeah, but the BML light rails have a much broader foot print

As you can imagine, I am on pins and needles

Finally, I will have lights that are on a par (no pun intended) with my growing techniques

I have read about it (even used a reptile bulb a couple times early on), but no

I think CO2 would be more beneficial, and I don't use it either as my tents are not sealed


My goal is to get 90%+ dialed in, then F the rest

But I am a personal use grower, and hobbyist more than anything

If I smoke an oz a year that's a lot

Thanks for the kind words. I'm just trying my best to cut through the lies and hype.

The biggest problem is most mj growers do not realize that mj is a fruiting plant, and as such, it requires a complete spectrum, though it can be manipulated to push for max yield, most of us will be quite pleased with a simple WHITE light

When it comes to helping people with PTSD, no problem, but pharmaceuticals tend to do more harm than good: long term, they do considerable harm
