    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    I've only seen a few legit LED grows and they seem really good, the plan is to get an LED with the 120* angle so I can still use a dished ScrOG very effectively, thinking of a 370-500w LED panel but they get quite expensive :s You'll have to mod the box a bit for cooling to mount the 250...

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    Yeah 35cm from the screen, all the height I have :) going LED's for my next stealth grow, slightly bigger re-modeled cab (inside this time not in the bloody shed) with webcam and all so I don't need to physically look in there as often.

    Blackstar 270w Led - beginners Choice?

    I found a company based in the UK, the Yanks have a lot more choice than us... But anyway, they're called GrowNorthern, and offer LED's with 5w chips though at the moment they are quite expensive across the board. Blackstars seem to be a good, reliable, cheap LED company but their systems need...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    Yeah you need the luck outdoors in the UK especially with as much rain as we've been having :) Right, harvest pics, I don't have many 'cause my camera's on the fritz :/ but hey what can you do! Shoebox of WW - Labelled and jarred WW Sour Candy (this shit is soooooooooooo sticky it's...

    Blackstar 270w Led - beginners Choice?

    not at all! LED's are better than you think, 400w of LED will get you the same if not more bud than a 400w HPS, I've read a grow with just a 90w UFO that yielded 2oz from 1 plant (only 1 plant though) and especially in ScrOG the fine tuned wavelengths of the LED's can out perform HPS' when...

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    Finally managed to get a proper grow in this cab lol :) good job though! looks pretty sweet with weed instead of other 'erbs XD And the 250's penetrate further than you think, just 'cause it looks dark there's still photons and what not passing through the leaves :) mine penetrated about 20cm...

    where in London stocks the High Times?

    There are a few hydroponics shops that stock it, because they clearly don't know 80% of people buying their shit are growing pot XD, there's a grow/head shop in Camden I think has em. Otherwise look up head shops or go online!

    Led Users Unite!

    Right it's been a while... I looked up the Vapar LEDs but they all seemed to have 60* lens angles, I need a full 120* spread because my grow space is very short and I've seen what those ridiculously focused 90-60* lenses can do as far as bleaching. anyway I've been researching my ass off over...

    Germination -> Planting.

    I think the general idea behind planting seeds upside down is you get a 'stronger' root system or a longer root in general lol well 3mm longer root, that's not a fact or scientific truth, just some stuff I've read a few times in the past XD But either way it makes no difference to me, I just...

    pound a month????

    You'd be surprised how good the lower wattage lights are when used to their maximum potential, just pulled 3oz, +/- a few g, per plant from a 250w (3 Plant ScrOG) :) Haydoon has a point, you will most likely have to insulate the shit out of the loft space if not to keep the heat out in summer...

    Growing as my job....

    Best bet is to move country and start in a coffee shop or med clinic or something, Holland would be easiest 'cause UK citizens are allowed to work in the EU without a visa for about 6 months maybe more (if your seriously considering it research!). Other than that your next best bet is to wait...

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    Just re-structure your light times lol :) I veg on a 12on 5.5off 1on 5.5off (also known as the gaslight method) The idea after veg is to then switch to flower for 10 hours for a few weeks then 9 hours for a few weeks then 8 hours for the last few weeks... Also because the 12 hours light builds...

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    Looking good everyone! shame about the heat... surprised to hear myself say that being in the UK lol... our heat is mid 20*c but with no sun... just cloud... and humidity, bad times :) Chopped my white widow last Thursday, she's now in the curing jars. Chopping my Amnesia Lemon today and...

    Tips on maximizing yield in a small space.....

    I do it all the time as well :) It can be very small, but if you just let the plant grow a bit taller before actually topping you have a nice tall stem to root XD

    First time grower, need some help.

    In all honesty, doing it that micro will probably shoot up way more problems than starting a little bigger, also if you have 2 plants and 1 dies, you've got 1 left to learn from your mistakes etc. But if you only have 1 plant and it dies, you'll have to start from scratch anyway because 2 plants...

    First time grower, need some help.

    I would definitely consider not using a PC case :) they work well enough but for the yield over effort factor they aren't really worth it. Building a small wooden cab of say 3ft tall by 3ft wide by 1ft deep will not only be the absolute perfect size for a starter grow, but the box itself can...

    Tips on maximizing yield in a small space.....

    Ah I see, still I wouldn't recommend it, there's too much hassle of the roots tangling and the plants competing for nutes/root space, it's just like when you plant 6 or so plants in soil in 1 tote just with bigger roots :) Unless you could section the root systems apart but that's more hassle...

    Tips on maximizing yield in a small space.....

    Hydroponics :) I use passive hempy buckets and always yield good in micro, just chopped a white widow she's looking to be about 3oz as an educated guess (that was in a 10l pot), and am currently upgrading to proper DWC buckets. (this is my most recent super stealth micro cab built into the...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    Apparently not :( lol Thanks for stopping in! It's all about optimization, I build my cab around the size of light I'm planning on using... Latest super stealth cab is the one a few pages back with the pic from the webcam I've installed in it. I built this one for my next grow using a 240w or...
