Hey Irish Boy been following all your grows for time and seen your results getting better and better keep it up, hope you get a huge yield from the 2 500watt leds, also as you mentioned about breaking glass have you done it to these lights too? i want to start growing soon but i want to read, read and read to get all the knowledge i can i was going to start with bubble ponics hydro 5 gallon buckets but might improvise and do soil for the first grow.
Also just another question for any one who can answer, If i purchase a grow tent and for instance i used a 1000 watt hps lamp with multiple number of plants will i have to worry about any heat signature produced inside the tent? as i have the bacons flying around looking for grow ops.
thanks any help will be appreciated.

thanks brother! i try to do better and better each grow, its tuff some times like my last 100F+ grow it really throws a curve ball at me, feeding is different and everything.
you know what, i am a firm believer that newer growers should start soil because its more forgiving, but now days i am not sold on that because i tried the soil route and seems all the good soil company's have gotten too big and their quality control has gone out the window, all i got was bags full of gnats and just crazy PH right out of the bag. never again will i deal with soils specially from roots organic. its just a gamble, lots have great bags but lots also have bags like mine.
i like soiless like coco or peat moss mixes, but if my temps were right i would go full hydro like DWC or flood and drain. easier to correct PH troubles also. now IMO quality is better with soil or a coco, or peatmoss mix though.
not sure about the whole IR thing? some tents claim to block that but i truly think the house and walls block all that its just when ur exhausting outside threw a odd place. just like on "COPS" when their using the chopper chasing a guy and he run in a try and you can no longer see him with IR and the dogs and cops on foot have to find him. just my thinking on it. now if running high heat out a bedroom window or some odd place going direct out side it might be the case of cops finding it odd?

Hi Dave, that's a sticky trap for fungus gnats and other flying trespassers.
Looking good Irish!

yes that is 100% correct. works great. every room should have one of those and also a Hot shot no pest stripe, the only thing ive seen destroy spider mites in 24hrs.

I had a mite battle for a month or so, then I got a couple of those strips and they are gone! I know people say that you can never get rid of them totaly.... well they never used a NPS!!!!!
got a question though...... do you ever worry about smoking any toxins that may leach into the buds? I'm not saying they do put anything in the bud.... just curious if ya think about it at all, and what your opinion might be?

yup they have saved me ass lots of time and lots of money
i pull my out of the room a few weeks before harvest to be safe, i think their fine though. better then losing my crop to mites.lol
gassing, stuff works great and fast.

I wish I had found out about the Hot Shot several months ago would have saved me a lot of $$$Doktor Doom works great on the living but you have to stay up on it like every 3 days
I travel for work so they always manage to come back and in a BIG way
Got something for them now NPS

ya their the best of the best IMO. the key to killing them fast is to cut off all fans for a day or so. kills the baby's in their tracks, ive had real bad mite attacks and thats because i left my NPS too long, once i get another one withen 24-36 hrs their all dead, but u must leave it for a few weeks to make sure you gets those eggs that hatch

ya i replace every month its worth it to meYep, I also use both, the Hot Shot tends to last about 3-4 weeks as far as I can see, then I replace it.
Sticky traps, hot shot and azamax keep my garden free of trespassers

another good method, especiall for those using CO2, is to seal the room off, pump it full of c02 for a while to suffocate them to death. shouldnt harm the plants too much as long as it isnt for like hours.

Nice grow Irish! I have been researching LED's for a while so far Spectra and Grow Stealth LED 600W Quantum LED Grow Light
they are coming out with a 900w and 1200w
the 600W is 3w single chip LEDS with 3 wats into one chip 550w true draw ( they say this helps ) the penetrator pro uses the 3 w as well i would have to say these are the best company's out their for LEDS
i have to say i would like to see all 3 models tested against each other that would be a good thread.
I might do that someday
i might buy 1 spectra and 1 stealth grow see how they do
great thread man keep up the good work.
