DIY led grow

Plants looking good Pos, keep it green!

 

[OneHitDone]

Thanks for the kind words bro..

660nm...not necessary..I think uv is more necessary. But, I've done enough experiments of my own to prefer them in the mix...all the time. Even in veg...just prefer the growth I see. Think anyone whos run just white would be surprised what a good dose of 660nm can do.

630nm never did it for me...probably mostly because I've played with warm whites. Cooler kelvins would probably benefit more from 630nm.

I think any extra blue would just send foxtails and or extend finishing. Uv for a few hours all the time is where the sticky is at...not so much blue...imho.

I'm sure you covered it somewhere in this post but can you explain a little about your UV therapy?

Nothing fancy, 4hrs in the middle of the 12hr day, about 50w of t5 uva/uvb. Seems to be enough to improve the quality a little

Plants looking good Pos, keep it green!

Thanks dopest, little greener than I like at the end but not bad for my first coco run in years.

Posi,
Back when I lived in NC I used to grow Russian comfrey, and used the leaves for ferts in my organic vegie garden. You can order root/crown cuttings online of Russian Comfrey bocking 14, which is a sterile version of comfrey, so it flowers but the seed it produces is sterile so it won't spread or become invasive. I used the leaves to make fert teas (stinky ass fermented teas), but then got lazy and just started adding leaves to my soil or to my compost bin. You can google Russian comfrey bocking 14 for more info.

I remember reading about bock 14, sounds good cept' for the smell. What I really want is to reproduce go bio thrive, or even make a better version if possible. Alfalfa, rock phosphate, kelp, ???..... Need their recipe...lol

Coolness Pos, for some reason I knew you were on one of these rocks... Anywho you should get your hands on some Mamaki, it is a nettle that devolved it's ability to sting. Makes great tea as well as a great amendment. Comfrey grows like nuts here, I divided a single mature comfrey into like 50 individual plants... Potentially weedy IMO haha(doesn't seed). I also have fun foraging for stuff like crab shell, oyster shell, seaweed etc. though it's hard to come by enough to run full grows with.

Good luck but it doesn't seem like you need it~

Thanks hiloreign... Comfrey and mamaki it is than. I need to go back and look at gil carandangs methods

your posts are always welcome salmone.

Still waiting on a tangle to finish, not much happening in the cab. Will probably add a small amount of far red to my light before I get anything else going. The oslon far red seems to help ripening when used with cobs and reds...I see what sds was hinting at I think. little pr/pfr modification..something like that..

 

[salmonetin]

...thanks Pos ... ...other inspirative vids... ...for the hot hot times... ...nebulization...

....for plants or chillout zones...

...the vids are only for examples or ideas...

....with electrovalv from wash machine... ... maybe better with a better nebulizator (one more actual ...)...

...and some music too...

Saludos

 

[salmonetin]

...and my last idea for help on hot hot times...

...help cool (or freeze) on sites without electricity too... we only need the co2 bottle... and the "device machine box" with her connections to the co2 bottle... ...using dry ice...

...create dry ice using devices similar to...

...links or vids are only for examples or ideas...

http://www.hawk-ice.com/index_arquivos/Page435.htm

...we can use the dry ice... for a cool lot of things... ice hash... ...add little co2 to the tent... ...cool-water for diy cooler fan (fan cooled with water (copper tube)... ...or the fan with a portable fridge to (works with the refrigerated air of portable fridge)... ..both use portable refrigerator box (now you can add dry ice)... etc

...thank bro Positivity... for your patience with my posts in your thread... ive finnished with my ideas for the hot hot times... ...maybe hope help a bit to somebody... who knows... enjoy..

pd... the danger point its the high pressure (pay lot attention to the security norms working with bottles of co2) and the low temp of dry ice ...gloves for work with low temps... etc.. security first ever... be safe bro...



Saludos

I'm trying to keep some mint plants alive under the 8 watts while rooting some cuts. My mint outdoor keeps dying as I forget to water

 

[Voidling]

Bull nettle isn't that invasive. There's a plant here and there, no spreading clumps. Seeds are supposed to be tasty but know no other use for it

alright enough of that crap for now.

first...



my massive tent grow. plants were beat up as hell in veg, going to take a while to get them healthy again. Threw a few 5ks for fun in, see what happens. I am leaning towards cooler kelvins also, although my results are a little skewed with the extra colors I run.



May update, may not, matters whats up with the strange happenings of late. Either way the story has been told well enough. Cobs work great and are a huge step forward in lighting. Buy it from a reputable seller or build it yourself. I wish I could recommend a brand, but I really don't know who is behind threatening people. Careful whose pockets you fill because it may be the devils. As for me they haven't gotten a penny in years and it will be a long time before I trust a light seller again.

Dang Pos, I hope you keep posting even if you leave off photos of your own work. I tend to favor discretion myself so its understandable. What strange goings on are you speaking of? Feel free to pm if you don't want to get into it on here.

Sounds like he's just sick of the shit on here. That 51 thread turned to garbage fast.

Sorry guys, I should have been more specific want I was asking about. Below are the couple sentences I was referencing. [QUOTE="Positivity, post: 11749673, member:

Pretty sure Pos is OK, just wondering what he heard and who is being threatened. Sounds like one of the led vendors maybe, which worries me because I have been waiting for the Cree restock to buy some stuff and I am sure there are others in the same position. We all have enough to worry about without equipment vendors being shady.

Anyone bought from leds.de before?
http://www.leds.de/en/High-Power-LEDs/Cree-High-Power-LEDs/Cree-CXA3070-warmwhite.html

It's not a great bin but I only need 1 right now and the delivery costs are cheaper than Mouser.

there have been hints of it spread around the forum from different handles. I have screen shots of every episode

looks like they win. can't be risking my families safety somewhere without enough protection from the forum.

down to my personal information and everything apparently

careful people, this is no joke

How did they get your personal info ? did you disclose someplace ? A while back somebody went after petflora for whatever reason I have no idea. Now you ... sigh. sorry for the grief your getting.

BTW thanks for inspiring me, step by step I'm DIYing my own lamps, with each one getting better, cheaper and cooler.
