I'm not comfortable posting pics but I can explain it to you. Stretch to panda across the tray and hold it in place using squeeze clamps or whatever works. Figure out how you want your spacing and take an empty pot and a sharpie and trace around the bottom of the empty pot (the hole will be...

yes, 6" pots from start to finish. I have panda film stretched over the flower trays though so the roots can spread and stay healthy. I just cut holes in it for the pots and give it a quick wipe down at the end of a run and reuse it for the next run. By the end of flower there is a mass of roots...

Looking good. I see you and several others that have built the pvc screens like that, I really like it and may have to copy it. What are you using for the "screen" material and how are you attaching it? Oh, and if you didn't already you'll want to get that air pump off the floor and above the...

Search "defoliating", it's a heated topic, I'll leave it at that.

If your going straight to flower from clone and want to fit more in there then yes, use smaller pots. Personally I like to give them 2 or 3 weeks of veg time to get more per plant, I've found it works a lot better for me. Even with some veg time I only use 6" pots, but I stretch panda film...

Yeah I grow in 6" pots. I pull everything out by the plant base and bang the rootball a few times on the side of the plastic tub I'm going to use to soak the hydroton in. Once they stop coming out easy I take the rootball in my hands and just twist and rub and pull and get it all separated, it's...

That's it, but here http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=19938 it's only $112, and for that price as long as it's even halfway decent it would be worth it to me.

Nice! Quick question maybe you can help me out with, do you know if the Hydrofarm quantum par meter is any good or is it junk? Seen it on sale for $112 (+shipping) and for that price it would be nice to have one around to play with (I like new toys), but I don't want to waste the money if it's...

I use hydroton, bought and paid for now reusable forever. I'd hate to have to go buy new media for every run, but I guess if you'd rather buy the blocks then doing a soak and rinse then it's your choice. I've never ran the blocks but I remember hearing you only flood once a day (only a couple...

Good point, I guess I'm just a little too impatient to see the results I'd like to, those umole charts have me very eager to jump in and get some panels. That at600 looks like pure awesomeness, but I'm wondering if I should go with 6 or 8 a51 panels over 2 at600's to get a better light spread...

Thanks for the response. I'm not familiar with the DS XML, could you provide a link? (google wasn't much help for once). I'm more concerned with matching the yield per area (or per tray in my case) than in comparing watts. I just referred to the gpw because it seems that it's a common...

I've been looking into this myself (title of thread). I currently use 2 1000w hps and would like to switch to leds. If you look at the umole charts on the A51 site and the ones Greengenes/Tags posted in his thread on page 9(Tags high efficiency lighting garden) and compare them to what you'd be...

And you tell me this the day AFTER I go and buy a dozen for my veg & mommy tents? Oh well, I'm sure (hopefully) they still work good for my purposes. Edit- If you don't think they're still good veg bulbs (I got both daylight and soft white) let me know now, they're still in the bag with the...

An adjustawing in a tent would be hard to keep cool. For a 5x5 a 1000w works great. no mover needed.

Fresh air is fine, if you tried to add co2 most of it would be pulled out by your ventilation and wasted.

I love all the testing they do. At the end of the video he said if there are any lights you want them to test to send them an email or put it in the comments. I think if we decide on a few we'd like to see (apache & a51 to start the list) and we get everyone to send emails and comments it might...

I found this on the Area51 site (on the xgs-190 page) and was wondering if anyone knowledgeable could verify or discredit it's accuracy: Seedlings need 200-400 Umol'/s, vegging plants need 300-500 Umol'/s and flowering plants need 500-800 Umol'/s in its core area and 150+ on the edges...

The Xgs190 is all white (new model), the Sgs160 (2013 model, still in stock) is white and red

If you think back to when the Proffessor started the led without led's thread, he was trying to imitate led's at that time, which pretty much just came in red and blue for growing. (I followed it too). He was going by the best information and technology at that time, which has come a long way...

If you can run a gas line look into getting a natural gas heater for that room, then you'd be heating it and adding co2 at the same time. win/win
