    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Yeah... I was wondering about that. But keep in mind I'm using cheapo cheapo LEDs. Supposedly the neutral CREEs would be the best but according to that spectral program my LEDs are nothing like CREEs. I should have probably ordered a neutral the first round instead of the cool white so I...

    California

    Hehe, liberals invested...state is failing... Yup, yup. California is a prime example of H20 efficiency: 75% of the water is in the North, 70% of the food is grown in the North and Central Valley, 75% of the population lives in the Southern desert.

    I think you can use autos as long as you grow them under 12/12.

    California

    Handout state for sure. Don't know if you can compare it to Greece though... we actually get stuff done - we just can't seem to manage how the money is spent. I would say California is like the EU - just as big, just as diverse, and just as fucked. But hey, my police department just spent...

    Are these Trichomes on my Seedling?

    Not sure what in the picture the OP is talking about but trichs form before flowering... Trichomes come in many forms, appear on many many thousands of type of plants, and are present during most all growth periods. In cannabis the thrichomes elongate throughout the grow but are present...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    So I'm bored and thinking of the next project. I'm thinking a 15lb 8.5"x36" heatsync with 9x30w warm white arrays and 14 3w 660nm red Osrams. Can't figure out how I would want to place them... Arrays down the middle would be the most even but would make a narrower cast pattern. Arrays on the...

    DIY LED REVOLUTION/EVOLUTION! INTRODUCING MEvo

    Also depends on how you're running them right? As show in the charts the 3w LEDs are being run at >1w which could have a drastic bearing on efficiency. Don't most people run their reds at higher than 350mA? Or are those 1w aside from the LED Engines?

    DIY LED REVOLUTION/EVOLUTION! INTRODUCING MEvo

    The chart does show that within the same family the 660s can offer a higher efficiency but on average the 630s are still more efficient - so it seems you really need to be picky about which brand diodes you are talking about when making the comparisons. 630s still might be the better "bang for...

    Public Unions Forcing California Cities Into Bankruptcy

    I have a recently retired CA peace officer friend. She's receiving a 150% pension for the rest of her life... that means shes getting paid 50% MORE for being retired than for working. She retired at 55 after 25 years of service. If she lives to 80 she'll have earned >66% of her total life...

    I plan on taking a few tiny clones early on. Get to grow decent genetics in a party cup and no "wasting" of a seed.

    Beware Agromax grow tent HTG supply!

    Gotta check those sources. Notice that was the one and only post that guy has ever made on that forum? And that he was randomly posting on a two year old thread? And the OP of the thread discovered that it wasn't out gassing that was giving him problems... not that he was using an agromax...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Totally agree. $/w LEDs make no sense at all as of now. Hopefully in the future that will change. I'm always getting stuck on CLFs as they by far are the lowest $/w. Same reason I don't see getting rid of my HID anytime soon. Quick chart. My DIY LEDs are priced at 160 and not the 180 as...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    All good info. Regarding the CO2 in your res - I would worry about acidifying your res. I was always taught that it's a bit fruitless to supplement roots with CO2 but according to this paper there are some benefits: Abstract The uptake of C14O2 by the roots of intact tomato plants from...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Yup, had them about 20 days so far and they seem to be chugging along fairly well. If I end up liking the results from my first few plants I might make another larger panel consisting of 30w white arrays and a few 630nm 3w reds but atm this is all just a test and will be just the single warm...
