    busy bee led's

    Don't get too hooked on the wattage of the individual LEDs. Those "8 watt" LEDs are just 8x1w arrays so you're still better off with the 3w diodes even if they're being run at 1.5w (penetration wise anyways).

    Why do we grow in buckets and limit the plants growth?

    Smart pots are nice simply due to the low cost and ease. That 65gal was only $12 and I want to say the 200g are ~$20. Fabric pots are nice because they breathe well and if you over water a bit it'll just be wicked up through the bottom so as long as you never overfeed you don't need any...

    Why do we grow in buckets and limit the plants growth?

    Ever consider smart pots? I had a 65g in my 4x4 tent and it worked wonders. They make them in all sizes so it's pretty easy to cover large areas. Essentially the same as a raised bed. That's a 3' diameter but you can find them in much larger sizes.

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Hehe, I think you might need to skim a bit better. This thread has three or four complete grows in it - only the barely documented last attic attempt was the no go. There's a quick sum up of one of them on page 74 at 10 posts per page. Appreciate you skimming through though! Thanks. So...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    One was definitely budding but very very slowly and the rest didn't seem to be doing much of anything. With high temps and tiny pots they were needing to be watered twice a day and I'm just not down with that for plants that are going to be facing 120-130 daily temps and mites. I thought about...

    Automatic Rolling machine?

    Is there any reason you couldn't just hold your finger over the end of the tubes for a machine like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=payD3FPTsxE&feature=related

    PLEASE HELP: Did I chose the correct lighting?

    And then there's the DIY route. I put together 200w of LED for $180... I went the lazy route with arrays which is really pretty simple. Assembly is fairly simple. Mark holes on the heatsync. Pre-drill for screws, hanger, and cords. Apply thermal paste, screw down, solder positive to...

    PLEASE HELP: Did I chose the correct lighting?

    Alibaba is the ebay of China. Most all US sold panels are listed there... There will of course be garbage but then again there will also be the exact same systems you're use to for 1/4 the price. Not to say you should definitely go this route but I don't understand why more people don't...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    It was $180 for what I needed to put the two together. Purchased the heatsyncs from HeatsyncUSA and the rest from ebay. Seller was laurel-beads I scrapped the ones in the attic. They are looking healthy and all that but only one is flowering and it's just getting too hot. Pulled the plug...

    PLEASE HELP: Did I chose the correct lighting?

    If you order direct from China you could probably get ~600w of LED for $300. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/516842131/2012_Extreme_1000W_NOVA_series_F24.html

    PLEASE HELP: Did I chose the correct lighting?

    Those two brought me to the same light. Replacing a 600w is a sales pitch. Some good growers can yield a bit more with high quality LEDs but generally you still need about equal wattage - so to replace a 600w HID you would want 600w true watts of LED. The savings are mostly in heat management...

    I have alot of rabbits in my yard...

    Quick shot to the head and the rest of the rabbits won't associate you with the killing - no breach of trust. Wear gloves when skinning/cleaning the rabbit and cook thoroughly. There are a few nasty things rabbits can transmit but a proper cooking and handling will take care of that.

    I think I might take a vacation from the organics for the plants going under my LEDs. To keep em short I'm thinking of PGRs and since most all of the good ones are banned in the US I was thinking of ordering some Cyco to be shipped to me. I feel like I keep finding different Cyco part A and...
