    Quick question, am I missing anything?

    I wasn't really planning on drilling into my heatsinks, was hoping the thermal paste and tape would hold it on. As far as the drivers go, are you saying type A = internal dimming, and B = No dimming, and I should get a B and add an external dimmer instead of going with the internal dimming type...

    Quick question, am I missing anything?

    Screw driver doesn't really bother me, don't really need a ton of precision. I would however like to avoid excess wiring/connections and shocking myself to death. :D The other stuff though. Would I just need tape like this? http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Kapton-Tape-Polyimide-36yds/dp/B0049KTI8W...

    What does that mean? Wouldn't I just adjust it with a screw or something?!?!? >.>

    Quick question, am I missing anything?

    Oranges unite! But yea, I never really knew, so it wouldn't really be a refresher. I know that it's variable because it says it, I don't see the lower bounds though, I'm just going off what people have said in these or other forums as far as the .5-1A range. Voltage for vero 18's is about...

    :( Is the rest of the stuff correct though?

    Quick question, am I missing anything?

    So yea, meant to LED a while ago but didn't. About to order: 4x - BXRC-40E4000-F-23 ( Vero 18 ) HLG-120H-C1050A The driver should be able to handle as few as 3 and as many as 5 of the vero 18's and go from .5A to 1A, correct? I picked it out a while ago and don't remember. Would there be a...

    Why is the 1sqft challenge no longer going on? :(

    PC GROW

    A 250hps would be overkill, 150hps or led are viable alternatives. If you can get away with it then go for a bigger cab, wood is cheap and so are screws...that might be a prono title. Anyways, go as big as your stealth/needs/budget allows IMO.

    How should I make my small growbox?

    Depending on his budget I would almost say go with a 250 watt hps, which would be about 7000lumens/sqft in a 4 square foot space. I feel like he's looking for a simple around-the-house item grow though, so I'm not sure how over his head all of this is. :D I also would say fuck autoflowers, just...

    How should I make my small growbox?

    More height never hurts, but plenty of people grow in less than 3ft. More light is always good, usually people aim for 5000-7000 lumens per square foot. With fans, usually you want to run negative pressure inside your cab to keep the smell contained, also keep in mind your fans need a decent...

    PC GROW

    Not sure if you kept using the 6500k bulbs but that color temperature is pretty heavily blue shifted, in general people consider deeply red shifted far better for flowering. I'm not sure how much color temperature adds to bud bulk but it's never wise to go against the established paradigms...

    Think you could increase it by filling out the screen a bit more heavily before flower?

    Homemade Carbon Filter

    They are loosely the same functionally. Carbon pellets are just that, chunks of carbon that are very porous so they can soak up odors and other things that pass by them.(In this case in the air, but they are also used in water) Carbon sheets also use carbon, but it's my understanding that they...

    How's my growbox? What should I add?

    Your temps are likely bad because you're using pc fans to push through a duct. Pc fans can barely push air with no resistance at all, with any kind of resistance you pretty much cripple their rated cfm. Think about it, people use 4+ fans just to cool a tiny pc case, you're using 2-3(more like 2)...

    Probably the blue shifted cfl with indica genetics, either that or aliens secretly replaced your cannabis seed with the seed of a bush. :tinfoilhat:

    Homemade Carbon Filter

    I would be careful about phrasing it like that, you may want to use pellets with no carbon sheet, but you usually wouldn't want to use a carbon sheet with no pellets.

    Homemade Carbon Filter

    You want to use some type of loose fabric or pantyhose(or cheesecloth) to keep the pellets from falling through the holes in the aluminum screen, apply accordingly around the inner and outer wire cylinders to hold in the pellets. The carbon sheet on the outside is just for extra oomf and for...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    So, umm. Looking for a driver for 4x vero 18's, can't find anything less than $20 for a single cob driver or 80$ for a series driver...am I looking wrong or are these good prices? Could someone link me to a driver/drivers that can run 4 vero 18s @ .7A (30v)(20watts) or .7A (120v+)(80watts+)...
