What plants take in after soil life has broken down the organics to usable elements is EXACTLY the same as the ones in manufactured nutrients so the whole organic vs "synthetic" hoopla is moot. The only true advantage of organics is ease of use. And I offer you the same challenge I've put out...

Unless they've been spiked with hormones, "bloom boosters" do NOTHING for your plants. The only thing that gets fat is the nute company's bank account! Save your money!

Interesting! I just snagged one of those a few days ago!

There are 6+billion bacteria and fungi per CUBIC CENTIMETER already in whatever soil or potting mix you are using.... do you really believe the minuscule amounts you ad do anything?? That they will out compete the microlife already in the soil and well established? Very doubtful! Micro...

I got a bridge in Arizona I'll sell yah cheap too......

Smoke weed, not crack!

Show us a grow......

I hope HLG actually does a comparison study on available LEDs. HLG made some boards using Nichia LEDs, the QB 324 ( I still have a couple ) So it should be interesting to see what way they go. The biggest problem with Cree is their pricing.....

I've averaged 60 grams per plant in 2 gallon with autos, never tried photos in that small a pot

This is in a 3.9 gallon Autopot, The plant filled an entire 4'x4' space

I shake my head every time I see someone say seedlings need lower light levels. How much light does a newly sprouted seedling in May, outdoors get??? 1700PPFD? More? Dial down your light to save power then lower the light closer to your seedlings. I keep mine in the 600-800 PPFD range with no...

My QB 304s have been running almost non stop for 8 years now!

Contact HLG even if out of warranty, they might help you out in some manner.
