Re: LM301B board that we've been working on

Wow, this looks like it would be perfect for a (large) Space Bucket or Space Tote build. I've been meaning to make one of those for vegging plants before they go into my flower tent.

Re: Wireless dimming / Arduino / Development board

That looks quite similar to one of the boards I purchased. I still haven't got around to it yet because for right now, I'm running the light at full blast. ;)

Re: Measuring temperature on heatsink

I use a DS18B20 probe on my heatsink that's hooked up to an Arduino. My heatsink usually reaches about 50°C when the light is cranked all the way up.

Nice plant. How much was the driver? where did you get it? It claims pretty similar efficiency as meanwells...

Re: Cree Strip Build

I must say I am absolutely LOVING this light fixture. Amazing results. Hopefully I can post a picture of remaining lady underneath this light soon. I'm at about 34F and I really cannot wait for harvest!

Re: Hydro System Recommendations

I've been using a dripper system with coco. I don't know if that's the best option, but I was a bit concerned about the possibility of salt buildup with Blumats in coco coir. Is it really that big of a problem? How do you fight against it?

Re: Solderless potentiometer for Meanwell type B drivers

I have a soldering iron and don't mind using it :) I'm looking for a way to do it with a clean finish, preferably in a little box with quick connectors or something so I can play around with different drivers and builds in an easy and safe way. Also, have you checked out "Inventronics" drivers? Yes...

I had a really moist autumn some years back, and I was the only one in my group of friends (sharing genetics) who didn't have much problem with mold (outside) in denser buds. The things I did that my frie...
