I turn mine on 15 minutes before lights out then keep them on for 15 minutes after lights out.

I would think most incandescent halogens would suffice, but I can only comment on what works for me. I would at least get a clear one to make sure stuff isn't getting filtered. You can also google 730nm, 735nm, and 740nm LEDs Here's a another product...

The mouser link is for actual 730nm LEDs. I was recommended GE Reveal Halogen Incandescents and use them. You should be able to find them relatively easily on the web. The pic below is what you would look for

From an old wise grower that I initially got my info from, he uses a ratio of 25% to total power. So if you have a 400W system, then get a 100W GE Reveal Incandescent Halogen. I use a 40W for my cabinet

Yeah, I only use the far red at lights out as well and ever since I've added it, my yields have increased and flowering time decreased.

Here is a far red led ready to mount and solder. I would have no idea how many to add though. Maybe 20% of your total output http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/LED-Engin/LZ1-10R300/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu4Prknbu83y1kHJl487Qqnen%2fqilV6DPA%3d

Hey Pico, since you are shortening the dark cycle, look into adding some far red to turn on during the start of your dark cycle. Exposure to intense far-red light at the beginning of the night sets the clock ahead about 2 hours or so by eliminating the need for the spontaneous conversion of...

Here's a better top down view. Lots of bud sites already!

Quick update. Start of day 5 of 12/12. Screen is filling out.

Day 29, start of day 2 of 12/12.

Switching the lights back tonight and am gonna take 2 clones just in case she's a keeper. She is ready to go into flower (pistols starting to show on some branches) and the screen is filling in nicely. Super-cropped her in a few places as well to help even out the canopy and of course make for...

Day 26. Just fed her with her last full veg dose. 12/12 any day now :-)

Yeah, constant current drivers won't help you if an LED blows while wired in series, plus you wouldn't want to wire a constant current driver in parallel.

Well if you had 95 cree's wired in series, then if 1 fails, they all fail. That was my main issue with my DS100 light, that I had LED's burn out multiple times, which made the light useless. At least with the COBs (assuming you power them individually), then if one fails you only have to...

Another great thing about the hempy buckets are you can use a much smaller size pot and can use just about anything that will hold water that you can poke a hole in. A 2-3 gallon hempy bucket will do just as well as a 5 gallon soil plant. I picked up my black tubs from the dollar store. This...

Well, I've never grown full organic, so I can't really compare on tastes, but I always flush my mediums well so the plants use up their nutes and I get nothing but high regards on my meds. Also, flushing with the hempy buckets is painless and I just use a wet vac to suck up the water in my tray...

I built my own panel using 2 CXA3050 2700K LEDs to replace my Advanced LEDs DS100. I've been using them from seed through veg and so far things are going great and I'll be switching to flower this week. Check the progress at...

Thanks. I'll probably be making the switch to 12/12 this Friday, which would be day 29 of veg. I'll give them one more big veg feeding today, then a rinse on Thursday, and then start my flowering feeding schedule on Friday. This is the schedule I follow

I've been growing for years and use RO water with the complete floranova line, so I know how much pH UP I need to add when I put in my nutes, so all I do is just measure them out and add water. GH has good feeding schedules that are easy to follow I do have a pH and EC meter of course, but I...

Oh yeah. Hempy buckets blow soil out of the water. It's passive hydroponics. You can never over water and it's practically dummy proof.
