Re: 100W CLU048 LED grow light - project

I pull right at 280W from the wall with the drivers maxed. This is my second grow with cobs and I am very happy. I cant even convert ft to m with google...so you were right on light. Even if you go with two cobs I would still add a pot so as not to run them full all the time. All those videos I watc...

Re: 100W CLU048 LED grow light - project

I threw together a little light for my 2x4 tent with the same cobs and drivers. I ran three cobs to each driver though. I took apart a couple of cheap blurple lights and used the heat sinks out of them--not very big. With the aluminum frame and small heat sinks I got away with no active cooling--dri...

Re: Mg deficient? What do you guys think?

It does look like mg. My call would to go higher and more frequent on the cal mag after a big dose after it dries out a bit. Not sure why you are using H202 either. Are they the same strains? Good luck.

Re: Adding Blue and Red

I have a few grows of under my belt but still learning. I bought one of those flower initiators for my little tent. I have used it twice and not only do the plants go into flower early but with me leaving the reds on during light cycle I believe they are bulking up better. I truly believe the early ...

Re: Adding Blue and Red

I meant to put v not w on cobs—sorry. Thought I knew specs but didn’t. Just looked at spec sheet. If I run 3 36v cobs what kind of red and blue leds can I add?

Re: Perpetual stealth dresser DWC LED grow

They look good! Did you have problems keeping ph balanced in the reservoir? Can't wait to see the final result. I did a couple weeks ago but not anymore it seems. I was thinking of getting some hydrogaurd to help the roots I have had a few fairly successful grows at hydro and my understanding is yo...

Re: *Attempting* under current rdwc

Are you pumping H2O through the drip rings continually with the small pump? I like the concept and may try to incorporate that into one of my little hydro grows.

Re: Still no flowering that I can tell

I have grown a few. Don't pay too much attention to any literature from the seed company about flower times and stuff. My understanding is going to 12/12 will initiatie flower.

Re: Get uni-seals they said, it will be fun they said.

I've had the buckets bubbling in a test area for almost 24 hours now. I've resituated the buckets 4 or 5 times and so far so good. I've heard good things about them compared to bulkeads so that's why I went this route. Are you still using them Breed or did you go another route? Uni-Seals bite. I us...
