"Science lies because it disagrees with me and hurts my feelings!"

So let me get this straight, you’ve made a bunch of bold claims, provided no evidence, and now you're just hoping no one presses you on it? That’s cute. But unfortunately for you, that’s not how facts work. If you're going to make sweeping statements, the burden of proof is on you, not the...

Where did you get information that the navy grew tomatoes in submarines with HIDs in 77-78? I cant find any documentation of it. What i can find is information from the mid 2010s that the Navy started growing hydroponics under LEDs. This is the second time you've shared this, how exactly do...

It’s not a “claim” when it’s supported by data. LEDs being more efficient, cooler-running, and capable of delivering targeted spectrums isn’t up for debate anymore, it’s just reality. The real joke is pretending we accidentally created the perfect grow light for cannabis with 90s-era street...

Thanks for the link to the study, but I don’t see how it validates your claim that supplementing with more blue light improves quality or that 5500k HID grows higher quality buds. And just to clarify, I never said spectrum doesn’t matter or that UV is useless. What I said is that efficiency...

I respect your preference for HID, but there's a lot here that feels more like opinion than evidence. Let's clear a few things up: 1. Spectrum ≠ Efficiency. Saying a light is "more efficient" because it emits more wavelengths, including infrared and UV, misunderstands how plants use light. Over...

You can defoliate that lowest fan leaf thats turning yellow.

Don't bother with the blue adlites, get the 660nm red.

Hey man, I've been following this thread for a while, amazing stuff. Just wondering... do you have any pics of a finished build? Would love to see how it all came together!

You're on a forum with a TOS, no one is arresting you for saying what you want, but that doesn't you can't be banned for violating TOS. So no, this has nothing to do with free speech.

It's always good to be mindful of your inputs for sure. From everything I've read, the risk of using aquarium water is so low that it's not even worth worrying about, that's me personally.

I didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out. I keep predators so they mainly eat freeze dried insects and frozen tilapia, but I've definitely used aquarium water with fish fed with commercial fish food before. From everything I've read though, aquarium water should be safe on edible crops...

Any reason why you want to strictly stick to organics? I'm currently using Promix HP with Gaia Green 444, Gaia Green Glacial rockdust and also using Epsom salt, calmag. It's been the easiest grow I've done to date, I just amended my Promix with the reccomended amount of 444, Glacial rock...

Either of those would grow amazing peppers. ACI is generally more expensive and considered more premium than Spiderfarmer, but im very happy with Spiderfarmers quality as well. It really comes down to your budget and which you want, they're both more then enough for peppers.
