    DIY Hydroponic Nutrients in 5 minutes

    Remember to put labels with what's inside each bottle so when they run out, you can just read the labels for refills without having to open up hydrobuddy.

    DIY Hydroponic Nutrients in 5 minutes

    Sorry for the late reply. Yeah 46ppm is probably fine for S. It looks like you're pretty much good to go. I'm glad people are finding this useful. Imo, once you do this for a few runs, it will be hard to go back to commercial formulas. This is so much more straight forward.

    PH up/down options with rdwc?

    If you're going to make a stock solution, it's better to measure the solid by mass, that way you know the mass concentration of the solution (mg/L aka ppm). Knowing the mass concentration allows you to inject a precise amount of mass, by volume.

    I was looking at branded LED lighting and did some research ended up DIY LED grow light saving $$

    This is theoretically possible if you're replacing a 20% efficient lamp with a 60% efficient lamp. Then you would need exactly 1/3rd the power.

    Driverless AC COB LED build

    You can't measure lumens with a single point sensor. You need an integrating sphere to do it. This is because lumen is a unit of total output. Changing your lamp height doesn't cause there to be more or less light, it just distributes it differently.

    Driverless AC COB LED build

    Math must not be your strong suit. 8*20,000lm = 160000lm 160000lm/200W = 800lm/W The problem is that 800lm/W is higher than the theoretical maximum of luminous efficacy at 555nm (683lm/W). Is it worth tearing every little piece of your math apart? Probably, but I'm done here. Anyone "that...

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    Prawn was making 2 similar arguments. One was that SOG is the most effective/efficient way to grow and I never disagreed with this. You end up yielding more with zero veg time clones in the long run and waste less time in veg. The second argument he made was that it's a misconception that...

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    It's hard not to see it as you being intentionally deceptive considering the amount of effort that went into clarifying the argument. It's also possible you were just being airheaded, but I have more respect for you than to believe that. I just don't disagree with any of this.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    The strawman is that I think SOG isn't more productive/efficient, btw. Even if you at one point did join the actual argument, you spent the majority of the time arguing about the wasted veg time, talking about energy instead of power, which is arguing against a strawman YOU painted. I didn't...

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    There are plenty of people here who think it's dumb to clean off lower branches... You say you've been around since the overgrow days, yet you take age old wars and act like there's a consensus around everything. Edit: I never did say it was to their detriment btw. That's something you made up.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    I don't have ESP so I'd have to ask them. A few reasons I can think are increased airflow and not wanting to deal with trimming popcorn.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    Diminishing returns means you get less out the more you put in. That means putting in more will always give you more out.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    I was never arguing with you. I don't think there's a single thing you said that I haven't outright agreed with. You're not the one calling me names for thinking a plant with more veg time will yield more.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    Right, but like I said, you're making a completely different argument (which is also one of his arguments and one I've done nothing but vocally agree with)

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    DING DING DING DING DING DING. So you WILL yield more, but you will bump into diminishing returns!! FUCKING DUH!

    Go read it yourself. In the words of sativied, You're making a strawman argument.
