    I've I could afford all that fancy stuff, i could afford to just buy my weed.... lol! Personally, I hated DWC. Too noisy, power consuming, too many things that can break, and without that multi hundred dollar controller, FUSSY! I'll take a slighty smaller possible harvest in exchange for the...

    And thus why I use Megacrop 2.0, it seems to have just the right blend and I've not had the problems I've seen with every other nutrient I've tried. Hell I grew organic for a long time rather than deal with nutrient control issues. And I like simple, which I found in Megacrop. From what I've...

    Personally, I've found a soil/coco blend to be an effective medium. I'd always found coco to be problematic. I've been using a 70/30 soil/coco blend for a couple years now and find that all the fussy PH and nutrient issues of coco are gone, and that I'm using less nutrients to achieve the same...

    having not used Jack's, does it contain calcium and magnesium? Do you use tap water or RO?

    "the multitude of defficencies" sounds like a medium issue, not a lighting issue. As long as the light is providing proper spectrum, then the medium is to be suspect for not retaining or properly releasing the nutrients.

    I'm not saying he has one. I'm questioning what he meant. Or are you implying there is no such thing? You've no qualifier to your statement. If you are saying LED lighting does not cause these issues then I might agree with supporting evidence.

    What the hell is "white Led Deficiency"?? Unless your suggesting his plants have a Cal/mag issue, that's a nonsense statement

    Haven't grown Ducksfoot in about a year. This sprouted in one of my auto pots so I let it grow.Seed must have been dormant a long time. As I keep the pots moist even when I'm not using them ( I never change the soil ), I'm surprized the seed didn't rot. She sure is looking good!

    Myself, I'd go with a 185H-54. It will give you close to or possibly more than 100 watts per board. Yes,you could run them harder than this but I feel 75-100 watts is the best compromise between output and efficiency. Get the A model, they tend to be under rated, the 185H can put out up to 200 watts

    I've changed configuration several times, re-using my wagos. I see no problems with them. I use the lever style wago, they're fairly heavy duty IMO.

    Just an FYI, HLG Series drivers have internal short circuit, over voltage, and over heat protection.

    Do you think the guys at HLG know anything about wiring? Because they recommend 20-22G wire..... I use 14G 3 wire stranded for the AC side, 18G standed to the QB boards, where I transition it to solid core 18G. Solid is required to work with the Molex connectors. I adjust the height of my...

    Next he'll try to convince us that $199 speaker cables make your audio system sound better....... And I was an electricians apprentice at one time, I did manage to learn a little. And again, this is a DC circuit, it needs no third wire, which would merely be a waste of copper when used with...

    Explain to me why a low amperage DC circuit like this would need 14 gauge wire, that's overkill IMO. From the charts I've looked at, 18 gauge stranded wire is rated to 10 amps, so lets be conservative and say 7.5 amps safely. I'm using 12' of 18g with a max load of 2.8 amps. seems well within...
