Right, anyone saying its "never going to happen" is burying their head in the sand, I agree. That said, thinking its going to happen in the very near future is probably also an argument towards having ones head buried in sand. Thinking politically, Id say it has next to no chance in...

Also, you dont think lighting costs are going to come down in the next 5-10 years with the advancements taking place in LED tech??? You guys are all making crazy assumptions.

Big AG wont touch it with a 10ft pole until the Feds deregulate. You think that is going to happen soon? Any logic behind how that would happen in the next 5 years? Youre so focused on the forest that cant see we havent even reached the woods yet.

People in recreation legal states need to remember that they literally are in their own little world.

Yep, it grows well everywhere. Yet as long as there's places where youll end up in prison for years for cultivating it, it will be more than $500/lb. Go to a state where it is not rec legal and see how much an LB goes for. Like I said, its a big market, and legal spots arent the rule for...

Kits definitely have their place in the market. Obviously they are going to seem like a rip to a DIY person, but I really dont think they are for the DIYers that get into building LEDs. Its quite complicated and to the average person it can take quite a bit of research and time to learn...

The only way weed prices are going to fall as hard and fast as you crazies seem to think is if America decides to quit pussyfooting around and jump into the deep end of legalizing recreational across the board (Feds change their tune). And that is not happening in the next 5 years, sorry...

Yep, thats my setup. In the pic in the top the bottom there is the "pot" so to speak. Just a DWC with 5 holes cut in the side with the plants growing out the side under a net. That is connected to a reservoir which in total comes out to about a gallon and a half. Probably will need to...

Yeah, this is more of a test anyways(its not under a bed). But if I slimmed down the cooler or stuck it somewhere out of the way its looking like its working well so far. But Ive had to make some pretty major adjustments to the setup along the way. I bet I have over $800 sunk into this little...

Unfortunately I was limited to an average bed height, which is 7 1/4 inches which leaves about ~6 inches or so of actual vertical grow space... tight I know. In the pics you can see the screen rolled up on the back wall. That gets unrolled and stretches the net all the way over the grow...

One LPC-100-1050 pushing 5 royal blue and 10 ~5000k xm-ls. = ~50w One HLG-185H-C1400A pushing 26 cree LEDs = ~175w One APC-12-700 pushing 4 deep red LEDs = ~9w Youre right, the actual draw is about 234w, but I can squeeze another ~20w out of the HLG-185 once it fill up more of the space...

So I built a custom cab with a few goals in mind. 1. Fit under a bed 2. Completely sealed (no smell leaking) 3. Quiet as possible I feel Ive come at least close to achieving these goals with this setup. imag image hosting gif (More pics if you click on them) Lighting Custom made water...

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the point of the LPH model in there?

Thats a pretty cool resourceful DIY you have right there. And just a little info for ya. The copper in those heat sinks are actually heat pipes. Which are super efficient at moving heat from A to B.

Are you trying to get CO2 to your roots? Thats not how it works if you are.

Ahh makes sense. I was wanting to run 4 Vero 29s off that particular driver at ~4.2a each but decided against it lol. Just sad theres nothing out there really to drive multiple COBs at high amperage.

Am I to understand you plan on wiring them in parallel? I thought this was a big no-no with LEDs in general and even more so when dealing with COBs?

Does anyone have any experience running the Vero 29s above nominal drive current ratings? The project I am planning currently will incorporate them running at or near max current rating (4.2A for V6s) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them and just how much heat they will be...

When that happens, the nodes directly beneath the cut will become the new tops.

Get a conversion bulb for the MH ballast to use for flowering and use T5 for Veg....
