    EFs R&DiY LED, Circuits, Arduino, Hot Peppers and more thread

    Salmonetin why you gotta spill the secret? I'm not going to explain much more, but yeah this is a great idea I have been working with for a while. Once one of the main LED horticulture companies figure this out, if they haven't already, they will make a killing. I thought this up last year and...

    Another Cree CXA3070 DIY Thread

    Great Scott! Those are some happy plants. You have a wonderful setup, I got nerdy and decided to do some quick math which lacks a lot of variables but could glean a general idea of the "bang for your buck" on those flower initiators in this particular setup. Basing this off of your Critical Kush...

    LED's cause bud to take in Mg and Ca differently???

    Calcium and Magnesium are the most utilized and required micro nutrient and some botanist consider them macro nutrients. Short answer, due to the abundance of red and blue light from leds chlorophyll a and b are the primary pigments used to force the electron jump required to produce energy from...

    DiY LED Grow Lights with CREE CXA3070 COBs and CPU Coolers

    Any plans to upgrade this with 50-100w of 660DeepReds like suggested above? Stellar growlight for the money. I just dropped 600$ to build this, and I'm looking into adding an additional 100w of red, should make for a hell of a light. Best of luck in your growing endeavors, ILovePlants

    COB holders - the basics

    ^^This looks super intriguing. Is this in production yet or is this just pre-production data? Also it looks as though these are solderless? I have super shaky hands and I've wrecked far too many LED arrays, fucking stupid fingers. Its says "Easy pre-assembly by LED fixing lugs" and has the image...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Hey SupraSPL, You are awesome for starting this thread! I wish I had this info 2 years ago when I was trying to build my own. I guess this is kind of a reply to your first post. Damn this site has changed over the years, but with people like you on the forum it changes for the better. Keep...

    What would your dream light setup be...if money was no object???

    If money was no object aside from running costs, I would buy 2 inda-gro 420s with pontoons, and 3 300-400w full spectrum 660red heavy led lights ( in a 3:2 of red:white). Leds stationary; one in the center, and two on the sides slightly angled in. The inda-gros would be on light movers...

    G2-800w PARmaxx parabolic refraction integrated full spectrum LED grow light - 4x4 cr

    This looks like a lot of fun. Leds have come a long way. I remember buying a glowpanel back in the day and wondering how they were going to make leds truly compete. Can't wait to see the results a couple months from now. Man, this light with a light mover would be ridiculous in a veg room! Keep...

    New light test and first grow

    Hey savage, I like this set up and I'm excited to see your results. With that many plants you could do 12/12 from seed and get decent results. If you have room in your house, put 2-4 of them in a different room under 20/4 light schedule so you can have some mother plants. If you veg out 4 large...

    Puffenuff's Apache Tent

    My genetics have been shared with a select few trustees in CO, so I know I can get them back when I make my return. I'm moving to the west coast in 2014, so you'll be the first to know. Sincerely, ILovePlants

    Puffenuff's Apache Tent

    Puff you are a cannaboss! I'm glad you decided to do this thread, I'm living in enemy territory right now. So it's a no grow for the next 3 months or so. These pictures will have to suffice for the time being. Keep up the amazing work.

    Apollo spectrum recommendations?

    I think you have a decent mix, although I would leave out the 730 nm diode. replace it with an additional 660. Use only 6500k for your whites. The blue peak in 6500k light peaks at the perfect spot. One of the main additions was a large 425w 6500k T-5 fixture. Before this I was using primarily...

    Hans Panel 56w triband led(65w total)>VS<Indagro 100 full spec induction(105w)+FIGHT!

    Hi PSU! Hope all is well. Looks as though your Cheese Dreams managed to pull through. Personally not my favorite strain that I'm working on, but we have plans in the works to alter her genetics a bit before retesting. Each year I'm trying to advance all of my genetic lines towards their desired...

    Roots Above Ground

    I agree and disagree with a lot of things on this thread. I agree that placing the roots at the top of the pot will create the largest root mass when dealing with a transplant. I agree that roots shouldn't be intentionally exposed. I disagree with anyone saying air-roots are counter productive...

    Hans Panel 56w triband led(65w total)>VS<Indagro 100 full spec induction(105w)+FIGHT!

    Damn PSU, it sucks what happened to all those beans. Here's a Cheese Dreams in a 4 gallon container. As you can see she is done, she has 3 days until chop in this picture. Nice green/magenta-red buds. A bit "hazey" when it comes to the bud structure, but all in all quite productive for her...

    Question about worm composting.

    No; 1. Eggshells take an extremely long time to break down unless they are pulverized to dust, 2. If the worms are loving life then plant roots will be loving life too, worms thrive in optimum conditions and excrete castings slightly in the acidic range but not too far from optimum. Castings...
