@The_Dude Go get some bulk head fittings. They are drains you would use on a rain barrel. Use 1 tub as a reservoir and the rest of the tubs as root bins. Use A BUNCH OF WATER. Don't skimp on this, 5 gallons is not enough, it gets hot too fast. It fluctuates in temperature too much, use 50...

My comments are not to dissuade you for doing this, I think it would be awesome to see it work. I have some parts I would be willing to just let you have if you would be willing to actually do this. I would really really love to see this turn into a community project type thing. Put down an...

high pressure is a lot of work, I would suggest doing a really small scale build out. Only 1 bin and a few plants at most. You will need some solenoids, a high pressure pump, a bladder pressure tank and some high quality nozzles. I would over size the grow chamber as well. DTW is also...

is there really any benefit to turning the pump off? I would just let it run. The point of aeroponics is to create a very fine mist, like sub 40 micron droplets. You give your roots a very quick burst of this every few minutes, and due to the droplets being so small the plant rapidly absorbs...

AH, OK, low pressure. Yeah, i tried high pressure. It is really a pain in the ass.

Do you have a grow journal for this? I would love to see pictures. I tried this on my first grow, it went very badly.

so the larger argument here is which strips are more efficient running them at just enough power to turn on? am i getting that right? I see you are running 12 - 1 foot double strips at 100 watts total so 8.3 watts each. They are rated to run at 26 watts, so slightly less then 1/3 of there...

I was just checking out the F strips and though I had just discovered something. I guess I'm pretty late to the party. Seem like 5 of them in a 4x4 tent would do nicely. Even better 10 in a 4x8, then you can get a price break. @Serva are you saying you would run 14 eb strips on 60w total? I...

OH YEAH, only the good stuff!! I hope i don't get a "intent to distribute" charge when I start selling. yeah, i custom order my seeds from Oregon. Im such a good grower i think I can get 1133980 grams out of my crop, or somewhere around 378 grams per watt!! From what i have been reading on...

120. But i would like to talk about moving to 220.

I have scaled up my grow space from a 4x8 tent. This is a mix of cobs, QBs and rigid LED strips. I am running 36 bato buckets with coco. My light power output is around 2.8 KWh. Each grow area is 3x4, i am running the LEDs at about 460 watts each. So right about 38w per SF. The left side is...

I am running a HLG-480h-1400 on 8 Vero 29s. It works great. I wish i had a 480-2100, I bought too many 480-1400's and need a 2100. Wanna trade? :)

Im going to have to agree, well except for the Walmart led light bulbs, compared to just about anything they not very efficient. COBs are a lot of work, you need Heat Sinks, Cob holders, reflector holder, but my biggest complain really is drilling out holes to mount the heat sinks. I have...

I used some strip lights for my lettuce farm using allibaba strips. They were integrated, so they came with drivers. They worked out to about .24 cents a watt. They did great.

where do you live? From horticulturel ighting group the QBs are $75 each. I suppose if you live out of the country, shipping and tariffs may eat you alive. I could use citizen cobs, they seem to be a better price, it was just my first big boy light was with VEROs, I didn't really build it...

I have spent the better part of the last week building out lighting fixtures. 6 in total. Here is my current setup: 4 - COB fixtures 1 - Rigid LED strip 1 - QB As i was building the out, i noticed 1 thing. COBs are a LOT more work and seem to cost more. One of my lights is a VERO 29 COB...

so i have been using https://hydro-gardens.com/product/tomato-formula-25lbs-bag-4-18-38/ Makes 100 gallons 1/2 lb. Chem-Gro 1/2 lb. Calcium Nitrate 1/4 lb. Magnesium Sulfate

i would very much like to see a hard water recipe. I have pretty hard water. I just pulled the UoF page. wow..... http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/cv216 this is way more work then im willing to do. Is there a forumla that will work for the entire process? this is a great read however, i would...

I guess im not as hung up on lights as others are (pun intended :) ) I think unless you are rounding out your grow on all aspects, you are going to get less of an ideal result, regardless of lights. I do think that spending $2.34 a watt is a little high. I think overall costs have dropped to...
