    Let me make sure I'm following - you want the two rows of plants closer together and for me to get rid of the res? Here's a sketchup with the two vert 400s in place. And don't get hung up on the 600s vs 1kW, they look the same but the calculations will be based on the 600w putting out 92k...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Awesome! Glad to have you here. Woot, another thread? Are you back for good? :) That a cucumber you're trying to get to grow in circles?

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    In all honesty I think you need more UV if you're going the UV route. Flouro UV bulbs are decent when very very close but still put out pretty small amounts of UV and don't throw it all that far - of course any additional is always better. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw little to no...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    I really need to plant those veggies and start some more - been awfully lazy recently when it comes to gardening. I definitely think the PGRs have a huge impact on growth. They essentially stop the stretch and throw the plant right into flower along with increasing the 'berry-set' and...

    Yup, that big ones been flowering for the last week or two. Should start seeing some bud development any day now. Those of us without PGRs have that damned initial two week stretch... :(

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    You know, eggs and sperm - that's how you make a baby. ;) The pollen essentially contains two sperm, one grows into a tube that propels the other sperm to the female egg through that little hole called the micropyle. It's a bit confusing as you can have female pollen as well as make pollen...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    It would actually be both pollen and eggs from a female tri-nodal ;) You'll end up with feminized seeds that resemble the parent in many ways - one of which might be that trait, but it is not guaranteed. You should definately try it and send me some seeds :)

    Too Much UV-B Light Damaging to Plants?

    This bud is resting directly against a 10.0 UVB bulb with no concernable stress.

    FREE lighting CAD program. Attention all nerds!

    Is this a current room or a future project? Just started sketching it up and the 400's seem just a tad over the top imo. Let me know what to tweek at this stage and I'll add the 400s if you still want them and the ducting/filters...

    ok..so I use mason jars to cure, but have run out

    If you show up in person they'll sell you a 'sample' or two (or a half dozen) for half price. ;) But what works for you works for you. Will never ever argue that point.

    I can't do it just this instant but I'd work on it for you. Let me know dimensions and what else you had in mind.

    Ouch. That's rough. I know Autocad took a while to cross over - assumed dialux had considering so many interior designers use it. Could always use Parallels or something similar to run it.

    Hell yeah! I wonder if they have colored lights... or if there's an option to manually fudge that. Looking forward to seeing it. Thank you, always aspired to be part badass.

    ok..so I use mason jars to cure, but have run out

    Np. The silicone is definitely more neutral to start with but breaks down super super fast, especially the presence of any amount of sunlight, and leeches scents pretty heavily. I've been seeing some of the cheaper distributors using straight hard plastic cut into thin semi flexible ribs...

    "Home made" LED grow lights...

    Looking great. I'll be lurking around. Best LED grow I've seen so far was a guy with a DIY 50w system of 50/50 warm white/cool white. Been thinking I need to do the same. Completely agree with the wide spectrum > narrow band.

    Storage is pretty backwards as most of the best storage methods have the worst marketing benefits. Mason jars are used in canning because they seal super tight, for long long periods of time, without leeching anything into the product. Anything with a rubber gasket has the potential of both...
