    Sativas are always energetic and Indicas are sleepers?

    I think it works the other way around; peeps smoke the weed, get either up or down, and then depending on the high they say its sativa/indica leaning. Or look at the leaves and same. Everything is a hybrid nowadays the only real sativas are those old landraces some seedbanks deal with. Its not...

    Wanta try RDWC in a 4x2

    That kinda depends on how hard you push the plants and the size of your grow container vrs plant size. But i agree on the tendency of hyperbolism;

    Looking to get my first grow setup

    Driver gives so good advice that hell end up retiring me. If there is one ac infinity product that stands out as excellent its their full bells-and-whistles extraction fan. In a led grow specifically id say good climate control is more important than the having the fanciest light. Their top end...

    PPFD and distance

    Its an advantage to have them further away if ppfd stays the same; less heat radiated from the light towards cannopy (though this is relative, some situations you want the radiated heat) and more space to move air over the cannopy, easier access... Edit to amend: there is no real negative in...

    Second 13/11 grow.

    What lighting you use? And just to assure myself; 13 day /11 night? Nice and healthy cannopy :) your own crosses/genetics? Are you geowing them two to a pot? Good luck with the rest of flower :)

    Any new movement on getting a EU distributor yet? Ordering from the UK is a drag and were now a bunch of countries that are grow friendly, Germany, Spain, Netherlands etc.

    LED for 3x3

    Straight white light, not really what id opt for if i were going for a "no budget constraints" light. Efficiency is bound to be good as always with hlg. However from my own experience (i use the same spectrum on our control tray) the quality is a bit underwhelming in comparison to more optimized...

    Upgrading LED Lights

    Part of the reason i DIY is to control the exact components, i do it because of and not despite of the fire risk. Too many companies cut corners, with mars i think they used some shitty quick connectors that tend to arc and melt. I found that looking safe and being safe is two different things...

    LED - 660nm + 730nm - Emerson effect = WtHeck :P

    Use 680 and 730 on separate channels; far red affects plants differently as per genetics and its not adviceable to try to use same ratio on all cultivars. Its worth adding that the emmerson effect mainly happens in low light conditions of less than 150ppfd (afaik). Lets see what kassiopeija...

    Upgrading LED Lights

    Experienced Grower Seeking Advice on Budget-Friendly Lights for Cannabis Setup

    Quantum board used to be a board specific to HLG but later became synonymous with any led board for grow. Yes, they pull higher lum per watt than most standard leds, from 160-200, but theyre output efficiency is generally measured in ppf/w : photon count per what rather than lum/w : lumens are...

    Experienced Grower Seeking Advice on Budget-Friendly Lights for Cannabis Setup

    10000lums for 100w is fairly poor, 100lum/w while standard led light bulbs tend to have +140 lum/w. That 2500lum per square foot seems quite low to me. Try 5000-7000. Another thing: those lights run quite high watts per diode, this means they will heat up and break down more easily. Id have...

    Experienced Grower Seeking Advice on Budget-Friendly Lights for Cannabis Setup

    It will work but not ideal: flowering cannabis, the plant loves red light. These highbay ufo lights tend to give cold light, 5000k or so, which means the plant will grow shorter, some genetics just grow into a ball of leaves, and increase flowering time but you can defo grow with them, just not...

    Atreum Lights - Meanwell Drivers; how long do they last?

    Thats strange (different models) unless atreum sources its drivers from questionable places. Id leave a review on their site about it.

    Can Your Lights Be Too Bright?

    Id try giving it just a tad bit more nutes, my 2cts. Too me too much light and too little nutes is pretty much the same thing.

    I checked the link properly as per above, not a good idea. I agree that hps still has a place in growing just not here.

    Experienced Grower Seeking Advice on Budget-Friendly Lights for Cannabis Setup

    What would be the point of that? A 250w kit is about as expensive as the vipar but with more watts for about the same price and less output than the vipar. Edit: checked your link and its actually quite a bit cheaper, but no dets on the ballast (looks like a magnetic ballast which are quite...

    I dont think its a good idea to put a 600w hps in a small growspace like a wheelie bin, its a fire risk and will heat up like mfer.

    Experienced Grower Seeking Advice on Budget-Friendly Lights for Cannabis Setup

    Check out the vipar xs1500 pro, the one with lenses for a great alternative to that Mars light. Very even spread, better than anything ive seen, cheap and not seen any posts of them melting or burning up. And stop searching for growlights in Amazon primarily, their budget offerings is just...
