    Garden Myths

    FYI...Some folks may be familiar with this fellow. He's a gardener and soil/plant scientist. His writings don't specifically deal with growing weed. However, he does have a vast understanding of gardening and the do's and don'ts. I've gleaned some information from him. Maybe some folks from here...

    HELP! Gnats! What happens if I cut down my scrog net?

    I've had them a couple of times when I used organic soil. I ended up using Diatomaceous earth, Neem oil and yellow or blue sticky strips mounted high and also near the drains on the pots. That took care of them. You can spray the top of soil with the Neem Oil and then put a thin layer of...

    HELP....I Have New Light Fever

    Bugs, truly suck.....distance, I'll keep that in mind. It's easy to not realize that the output easily exceeds wattage. I'll probably start at 36 inches over canopy at 50%. From your experience does that sound reasonable? Thanks

    LED HPS comparison.

    I'll probably follow up on this thread unless someone has a suggestion for a better location. I've not received these yet. I'm going to experiment on 2 plants that I currently have in veg. I'm sure that there'll be some growing pains related to best power levels and canopy proximity. I may have...

    LED HPS comparison.

    You're on the right path. Though it's not just about lights. Your plants look healthy. The rest will fall into place.

    LED HPS comparison.

    I intentionally didn't go with light strips and I agree with you on light distribution. The 6 board HLG is a new design for them and the boards are not driven at the day rate as their other models. The light spread should be much better with the Scorpion. The Timber offered a spectrum closer to...

    LED HPS comparison.

    So, this forum has been going on for about 7 months now and I've made several posts about my affinity for HPS vs LED. I'm still loving HPS. However, I decide to take the plunge on these two lights. https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/lamps/products/hlg-scorpion-rspec...

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    First, I want to apologise to all of you on this thread. At first I couldn't understand the hostility. I had several tabs open and saw the initial post that I commented on and gave my 2 cents. I didn't realize what your thread was about. That's completely my fault. It was like a giant fuck you...

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    What I stated was "pls don't do it from Alibaba. You can buy Chinese if that's what you want. However, buy through an American vendor and save yourself a lot of grief." Not don't buy. I don't knock anyone's choices. If they can be bought through an America supplier they will save themselves...

    Neither.....pls don't do it from Alibaba. You can buy Chinese if that's what you want. However, buy through an American vendor and save yourself a lot of grief. What's your budget and why those two?

    HELP....I Have New Light Fever

    Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting started with it. I've seen some good work with these on this site and they are so simply well made. Open structure lets you see the components. Resale market is good on them too in the unlikely event that I don't like it.
