Had to google that... must be getting old.

Has anyone here had any success getting clones across international borders? Seems like it would be pretty tricky in this day and age with the TSA harassing everyone. I remember seeing a picture of a specially designed container one time, but I don't remember where.

I would like to run GG#4 one day - looks like a badass plant. How many rooms do you have @Hybridway? what's your favourite strain? and have you ever run Berry White? cheers

Happy 4th grower!! Let's all get medicated :bigjoint: Jah bless

7.65A x 36V = 275W approximately

I actually didn't see any pics - this was just a few lines in some obscure LED magazine article... can't even remember exactly where it was now. U got a link to pics?

Just to be clear I am not realising my mistakes. I was super nice to you at the start but I got tired when you stopped listening and became weird. I try not to hold grudges so all good. Your problem was that you had this little bit of knowledge about how the inverse square law affects light, but...

I'll tell you something interesting I read the other day... in the not so distant future we will see hybrid COB light engines that combine the best qualities of phosphor based coating tech and RGB tech for even higher efficiency. kinda like having a whole Amare in a single COB. :cool:

Growing experience is wonderful I agree. Does it render you an expert on the laws of physics and how they pertain to the indoor grow environment? I would argue not. No more than it renders you an expert on microbial biology, or molecular chemistry.

Your grow style is not so different - you are simply growing in a full room where you seemingly do not have to worry about temps or electricity costs. Man I wish I had the same circumstances! I can tell you that I would probably care slightly less about efficiency if that was my reality, and...

Dude I never had a problem with you until you stopped listening to what people were saying and started acting crazy and paranoid. As I have said many times I admire your grows and I liked your attitude until you turned. Just understand that your real world grow experience doesn't necessarily...

This is really the crux of the issue here - your reality is different to many people here running a whole room rather than a tent or cabinet etc. What might make sense for your setup may not make sense for others. The same goes for every other variable like ambient temps, electricity cost etc.

I'm afraid I'm not in any hurry to show my DIY COB effort off at this moment in time... It is way way below the quality of pretty much everything you see on here lol. I am an expat living in a developing country and I do not have access to the same resources over here. Aluminium angle would be a...

I have noticed also that the tops are a little hotter than the leaves. That flir camera really shows it well! But yeah my reading seemed to suggest exactly the same - 85/86f leaf temp recommended.

You make a lot of good points dude. I personally don't plan on replacing my LED light within 2-3 years. I purposely went for a slightly more expensive/efficient setup because I plan on running it for 5 years (if I can). Sure we will see some improved efficiency in that time, but I'm already...

Yeah I bought a cheapy one on amazon and it was a great investment - I find myself measuring the temperature of all sorts of stuff round the house now lol. But yeah I'd say it was one of the better 15 bucks I've spent in my time. :bigjoint:

Yes I have noticed that I can be getting around 87f with an ambient temp reading around the height of the canopy, whilst the leaves appear to be right around 85f. I bought a cheap IR thermometer to do this and what I learned was really interesting. It cost me like 15 bucks or so, so it might not...

It is really interesting (and possibly more relevant) to measure the leaf surface temperature rather than the tent ambient temp. I thought my cab was running way too hot until I tested leaf surface temps and found they were often lower than the tent ambient temp. LED grows can afford to be...

You are right. But sometimes the opposite is true. Last month I said "to hell with it" and turned all my lights up full... the extra electric needed to cool it all ended up costing me more than $100 extra on my electric bill which is nearly 200% increase lol. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do...

It is so much more than that... it will also make you lose your mind and start spouting weird conspiracy theories and throwing tantrums. Amazing really.
