So to confirm, in this case you would opt for putting the lamp on 70-80% with 29-30 degrees celcius over putting it on 60% and staying at 28 degrees celcius?

Great, good to know, because it seems like I'll be pushing 29-30 degrees celcius most of the time. It's a 40x40x100cm (1.5ft by 1.5t by 3.5ft) IKEA METOD kitchen cabinet.

Yes, I know, but I'm wondering what I should set it to maximally during bloom and late veg

I'm about to start my first grow and I am growing in a very small kitchen cabinet with a 100 watt quantum board. But I misjudged how much exhaust ventilation is needed to keep temperatures in check, so I can't put the lamp on maximum intensity without overheating the grow space. What would you...

I'm starting my first grow with one. I'm curious to know how much yield are you getting and in what size grow area? And do you set it to 100% or lower?

Thanks! Also thanks for sharing those pictures. That looks like a pretty small growbox, like I am planning myself. Would you tell me how high your growbox is? What size pots do you use and how high do the plants get with them?

Aliexpress sometimes sells legit electronics, but you have to do a lot of research and careful reading to avoid bad buys. For electronics it is best to stick to a handful of reputable sellers on aliexpress. Some of the unbranded stuff may also work, but images can be deceiving. I think this...

Hi everyone, Can anyone please tell me if I can put an autoflower seed directly into store bought pre-fertilized soil? Or do I need to pour a little lighter soil in the middle for it to sprout properly? For photo's I've seen people recommend using a light potting mix during the seedling stage...

I've considered setups like this too, but while the cost of the lights themselves is low I think adding eight sockets/holders for the lights and power cords are a 'hidden cost' that will likely push the total purchase price up to a less budget-friendly level

Hi, I'm a newbie grower, so not sure if I have anything to offer an experienced grower! :razz: But I was recommended the Phlizon PL-1000 which is a 100w dimmable QB, which fits your budget of about £50. Maybe you should look into that!:blsmoke:

I would be curious to know if regular store bought LED light bulbs could work as a cheap solution. Something like this for example. Perhaps someone with more experience can comment if these would be suitable if you used two or three of them?

What I'm going to build is going to be similar to what this guy from SuperGreenLab has made, with the exception that I won't have four grow areas, but just a single one. I think the dimensions aren't that different? His main growth area is wider, but it also has two plants in there. Mine will be...

It is not a small fan though, it's 20cm / 7.8 inches. It's the biggest pc casefan size available and noctua is the premiere brand in terms of airflow. It's this one and I am thinking of using this type of carbon filter, which matches up nicely in size. I don't know if it will work, I will have...

Yes, the total available height of the interior is 100cm / 3.2 ft . The width is slightly bigger than 1ft, it will be something like 1.3ft by 1.4ft. I do have a plan for those things. I will be using a small noctua intake fan with dustfilter at the bottom and a 200mm noctua fan as exhaust at...

I just wanted to report back, to say that I've decided to follow your recommendations. I will be using a cabinet which is about 50% taller and have ordered the Phlizon PL-1000 QB to go with it. They upped the discount and I got another 9% coupon, and with free shipping it ended up being €55, so...

It looks very similar indeed, thanks for pointing the thread out I'll have a look! I'm curious to know why you chose to rely on the decorative lights rather than the actual grow light? Should I consider adding such supplemental lights too? I was hoping one lamp would be sufficient.

Oh, that sounds interesting. Could you please point me in the direction of where I might find those?

Yes it seemed like a good way to maximize interior height for plant growth whilst at the same time providing more light coverage from all sides. Do you think if I used those AC Infinity 48W led bars (four bars of 12W each) with one placed on each of the four interior sides (so no light from...

Yes, but I thought I could perhaps place them vertically along the sides as opposed to lighting from the top? The height of the box is about 27.5 inches. Do you know anything about how Phlizon matches up with regards to safety? I'm mostly worried about getting shocked or potential fire...

Thank you. What wattage would you suggest I use instead? I also really like these AC Infinity led bars, with four bars that combined together draw 48 watts and even come with a programmable timer included. I could perhaps put one bar on each side of the box so there's wide coverage. Do you think...
