I hope those lights work. I commend you for being the guinea pig. I bet that's an improvement over what you had. But.... if you could fashion reflectors around each bulb, you could take two bulbs out. I'm considering using a small, round food-storage container (maybe 4" diameter, 2" deep) as...

Projection.

Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? I agree with you, there are different ways to look at it. If you're ok with airy buds because it's your meds and you're not showing off maximum product, that's great. (Just like someone using Mars Hydro like HPS @ 90w/sq ft.). That's your choice and...

What other kinds of right are there? :roll: I tried to outline how someone running low w/sq ft could be happy with their produce. Someone running high w/sq ft could be happy with their "trophy" buds. To me, that's a couple of "perspectives" which could be seen as "right" for the condition. It...

Assuming the old Mars panels draw 150w each, you're doing 33w/sq ft. I really doubt you're getting great buds. Do you have any photos of how the buds turn out? There's nothing wrong with being happy with that. Growing your own cannabis is always better. It never matters how dense the buds are...

He's already said he doesn't care about specs and numbers. It creates inferiority issues, I guess. :)

I think I see N toxicity. Bluish green (dark green) and the edges are cupped. I don't see a distinct claw though. Odd since fertilizer is 1-3-1 NPK ratio (which shouldn't be ideal for veg).

Sure. But, you don't need all those cartoon'ish bottles. Cannabis isn't that complicated. People grow fine with just a single dry product. (Plus, the owner of Advanced Nutrients is a pedophile. He left the company. But, they were so hype'ish, you can't know if he's gone or a silent partner...

Why are you choosing LED instead of T5HO or HID? Those inexpensive Amazon/eBay lights aren't worth the money. You end up having to run them at 50-70 watts per square foot in flower. Or, if you run them at their specified coverage (usually they are sold as covering 35w/sq ft) you'll get airy...

I got the following from LED. It's not the frostiest I've had. But, it's not like dry paper either. I'm growing one right now entirely under Cree household lightbulbs. I'm running an inexpensive UVB 10 reptile bulb (the short one, like a 16w?) two hours during lights on. I'll cut it back to...

What do you want to know? There is a nutrient forum under the "general" forum. You could search it.

Jan 6 (Day 42) Thirteenth feeding. 3.5g/gal. 450ppm measured (150 water + 300). Runoff: 1100ppm. I fed a little lighter because of the N-toxicity mentioned two days ago. And, I fed with 5% runoff (much less than I normally do). Jan 8 (Day 44) Fourteenth feeding. 3.2g/gal. 475ppm (oops[1])...

Sam's Club. They just hit the market in the past few weeks I think (I saw it in a cNet article). They're $5 each to members. If you're not a member, you can get a pass to purchase them at $8 each. The specs on the box sound much better (95 L/w). They're using better diodes I guess. With the cap...

Ground Fault Interrupter. It protects against contact with any 120v surface which is exposed by removing the diffusor. I haven't tested what surfaces are shock-worthy. But, at least the two-prong thing sticking up 1/2" above the surface is line voltage. A dab of silicone on that might work. But...

I needed to do this anway. This is the GE 10w BrightStik with the diffuser removed: Putting that in a 5-1/2" reflector (Home Depot) results in 23% more lux than the Cree 9.5w A19. (But, removing the globe from the A19 could make them equal. The Cree's diodes are probably more efficient, the...

I may not understand. If you remove the diffuser of the BrightStik, the diodes all face in one direction (forward). I thought that's what you meant when you said "It's too bad the cobs aren't on top of the fixture rather than the sides." Just ignore me if I misunderstood.

Not to be a grumpy grammarian, but those are diodes, not cobs. And, look at the GE. It has the diodes "on top" as you said. That's what looks so appealing about it. Automatically 23% more light replacing a Cree 9.5w A19 in a reflector. And, massively more light than a free-hung CFL (due to the...

Not to hijack further, but I really liked it. It's NL x Snow Storm. It has a bit of pine scent/taste. It's just as potent as anything else I've grown. (One guy who had a high tolerance to weed would say "I'm done" after 2-3 hits.). I planted directly in 3gal. I'd like to try transplanting 1gal...
