I think pretty much the most common mix people use right now is a coots mix. I really don't have a set recipe for when I make up some soil, I like to think that it really comes down to compost/ewc quality as far as what's needed beyond that. A lot of different ways to get to the end goal with...

Plants three weeks from transplant now. Been under the og highlights and aracadia 6% uvb for full veg and looking healthy to me. Flipping to flower after I topdress the soil and hope to keep them healthy throughout. No training so far, just clipped a few fan leaves and been water only. Pic from...

I keep seeing these sip guys posting beautiful pictures as well which has me wanting to do the same thing. I recently mixed up like 75 gallons of some new soil using mostly some local compost I wanted to try out because it was cheap and organic. Only mixed in alfalfa/kelp/basalt/st george black...

The bridgelux are nice too because you can get the 90cri for just a few dollars more with free shipping and no tariffs from future electronics.

I'm hoping it works out nicely too. It would be a huge jump start for some outdoor beds that have gone neglected for far too long. One day I'll step my composting game up myself, but for now am just unable to produce enough to get some life back into the old beds how I would like to do. It's...

I actually just mixed up a bit of some new soil using some local compost today, probably similar to your municipal stuff. It was only $4 a bag and "omri" listed (whatever that's worth) so figured I'd give it a try for a few veggie plants in the yard this year. Luckily, I didn't bring any liming...

Just transplanted my two little ones into the 19 gallon tote I had my soil resting in from my last run. I ground up some malted barley and sprinkled it on top and watered it all in with some coconut powder. The soil has been recycled and mixed with fresh batches many times now, so hoping for...

I know I've smoked a bit too much when i find myself zoning out watching some springtails have themselves a little brawl in one of the bins, seemed to be pretty intense. On a real note, anybody feed beets to the worm bins? I imagine they would be just fine, but I froze the scraps from peeling...

So I've got a couple seedlings i started recently and had pretty low temps as well, around 74-76 for a first few days to a week. I decided add my 24watt t5 uvb bulb and start running it during the 17/7 schedule I'm using right now. I figured that would add some heat for sure and was curious...

I'm in a small one bedroom apartment for the past year+ and I have a few worm bins going. Obviously I don't know your situation, but hopefully you could fit a tote in a closet somewhere if you did want to take on the endeavor. Super low maintenance once it's up and running too. Wish you the...

Not trying to blow up hlg's gig, but you can find strips produced by Seoul with this spectrum and 72 diodes per strip for a bit cheaper. Just not plug n play like these.

I think with these strips you would want to go the no heatsink route to make them worth your while for the price. For that, you would want to keep them more so around their nominal current which is 350ma. Not sure about how those laptop drivers work exactly, but it seems like you might need a...

Love how in depth you go when posting about products, I always enjoy reading through your posts. I'm probably partial to the seoul diodes since that is what GLA used on their original highlights boards that I purchased, but that lower blue region getting filled in seems like a nice addition...

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/bridgelux/BXEB-L0280Z-35E1000-C-B3/7907665 Using some of these on your veg/clone side seems like it could be done pretty cheaply/easily and probably be more efficient than the vipar's. Only being 11", you could play around with how you wanted to mount...

For sure, I could be way off base, but when you scroll over the strip and it zooms in a bit, it looks like there are some red diodes in it as well. Cool strips either way it seems.

I think it says they are the seoul sunlike diodes in 5k spectrum 98cri, but the picture of the strip almost looks like it has a few different diodes on there.

Yea I can only hope to achieve something along those lines with this run, that tent looks amazing. Never used the Arcadia before, so a first for me. If I remember correctly, doesn't that grower run the Arcadia the full 12 hour lights on cycle? Hoping for some healthy girls..

I'm pretty lazy and dont like changing things out too much. That said, I ran these in veg over my other lights last couple times and really liked them. Plants just looked super healthy under them, nice and green, almost a blueish tinge to them that i liked as well. I'm far from knowing what I'm...

Just had a couple seeds pop up earlier this week. I plan on running them full cycle under my 2x highlights boards again, only this time I added a 24 watt 6%uvb t5 arcadia light as well. Pretty cold here so I figured if nothing else, the arcadia would help raise the temps a little bit. Hopefully...

Glad to hear the success man and I fully agree with your philosophy of less is more. I typically only sprinkle some dry amendments every so often, maybe once a month, in between some veggie/fruit scrap feeds. I also don't throw kelp into my bins anymore, not saying it's a bad thing or not...
