    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    I have my LEDS so low, it almost feels like I shouldn't lol. But the plants are absolutely eating it up and temps stay at 73°F. The light fixtures don't put out hardly any heat with my mods - u can literally grab the QB at any time and they're cool to the touch. What distance do yall run your...

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    Yea I feel you... I never thought about the UV. I keep forgetting we have to supplement it in the LEDS. Luckily my two LEDS have it in there, but probably not nearly as much as the CMH haha. I think I'll just use my two 200w LEDs during veg (more for efficiency than anything), as my plants seem...

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    Anyone have a recommendation on a bulb?? And what about the glass, does anyone put their glass in their light fixtures??

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    Dang that sucks. Wonder why? Do you have a temp difference with the CMH? I've noticed this strain likes a hotter, brighter environment than normal. They basically take what you throw at em! Can't wait to get the CMH rollin... Yea no doubt. I'll keep the other 100w in there too. Lol. With this...

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    Got it set up today and come to find out, it's a 4x4ft tent, which actually is a perfect fit for me! I also got my 315w CMH wire and socket swapped over to my 600w MH hood, so that I can connect the ducting through the light fixture. I went to put the bulb in and it was busted, so it'll be a...

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    Yea I've been looking around and where it may suffice for veg and an auto or 2, its not going to cover it the way I want. For this particular run, I'm going to throw my 200w full spec LED in with it. I'll grab up a matching fixture eventually. For now, this will have to do!

    New 5x5x7ft Tent and 315w CMH

    So, I had a friend graciously gift me this here setup. I plan to set it up during the coming days. It's a 5x5x7ft Vivosun tent, with a Hydrofarm Phantom 315w CMH to go with. It also has all the Inkbird controls, with an AC Infinity inline duct fan, paired with the biggest damn charcoal filter...

    Cheap light leaking tent? Here's an easy fix!

    So I started back on my grow journey about a month ago. I guess seeing the prices on some of these Chinese LEDS, holding good Meanwell ballast and Samsung diodes and such, really got me digging in again! So, I went ahead and ordered a cheap iPower 2x4x5ft tent to start back up, ran all the...

    Is it worth getting?

    Get this one. It has worked beautifully for me and is well worth it.... it alerts me when temps are too high or low, same with humidity. You set the parameters. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B5GVL1S8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image I hung mine in between two of my pots, so that way I'm...

    Veg led vs full spectrum

    Yea so far so good, they seem to be eating it up. I'm expecting the White Rose to be more near 150w, with the other cpl hundred bloom LEDS off. Ill keep a close eye on it though. Thank you for all the replies and info! But yea, I've kinda created a "cool tube" type of solution to my hot LEDs...

    Veg led vs full spectrum

    Brother it puts off MEGA heat. I had to heatsink and add fans to the White Rose, as it had my tent temps near 95°F. This one puts off just as much haha

    Bad idea to start seeds in fox farm ocean forest soil?

    That's fine. I ran across it and I'm sure someone else will too. All i can do is spread any knowledge I learn. Stay blessed!

    Veg led vs full spectrum

    I also purchased this light last week, for next to nothing. Only did so due to getting the brand new 240w Meanwell Driver out of the deal. But after some research, the board holds a full spectrum of Philips Diodes and IR and I wonder if it could be a better grow light than the White Rose one I...

    Veg led vs full spectrum

    You sound like you know what you're talking about and I kind of thought the same thing. It's not as if the sun is only putting of whatever the 3500k diodes are, ya know? This morning I decided to add another 100w Phlizon light I had lying around, that has all of the different diodes mixed in...

    Carambola 4000w

    I'm glad I found this post and I hope someone replies! I have the same one, but I have the 2000w version. It's two 12x12 quantum boards and each with their own ballast. I'm kinda upset mine didn't come with a dimmer, because of how absolutely bright these get! Can someone tell me where to get...

    Veg led vs full spectrum

    I know this is an old post, but I'm new to LEDs and I have a question! I was researching some things and came across this post. Seems like some knowledge In here, so here goes nothing. It seems that nowadays most LEDS are made with a full spectrum of different colored lights, with no ability...

    Bad idea to start seeds in fox farm ocean forest soil?

    Yes. FF OF is fine. I wouldn't recommend it, as some strains are more "touchy" than others. Here's how I do it and have a 100% succession rate... - Measure one cup of distilled water and add one drop of pure Hydrogen Peroxide, throw it in a spray bottle - Take some of your new H202 and put in a...

    fox farm GROW BIG

    Here to raise the dead. They're ALL good! I start big bloom/superthrive, at half strength, once my plant has its second set of true leaves. Then, on the next watering, I give it a full dose of big bloom. Once I have 5-6 nodes, I'll start slowly incorperating the grow big, at half strength the...

    Scientific proof that a ghetto (baking soda &vinegar) CO2 generator is pointless

    Yea. This thread makes zero sense. If co2 is being produced constantly and the burper is being pumped into your SEALED tent, there's no way that doesn't help the plants. Now, if you're using a cpl 2 liter bottles, than no, it's not going to help the 6 plants in your 4x4ft grow tent. When I...
