    Malted barley

    Comfrey is not a god companion plant you for sure dont want it growing with your MJ. It is a great bio accumulator but it grows big and fast. Should be planted in a well thought out place in a yard roots will reach down about 15 feet and bring minerals and nutrients up into the leaves. Be sure...

    Newly transplanted clones not doing well

    PH absolutely matters doesnt matter what medium or style growing one uses PH has to be in range or Nutrients will get locked out then problems start happening. But if a soil is mixed just the right way it will self regulate the PH so you dont really need to PH the water. But even then a good...

    What LED is the best value in terms of cost/yield/service life?

    Best warranty that I know of is Bridgelux's for the Vero & Vero Se series is 10 years most of there other stuff is 5 years like the strips. But that would make a 24/7veg light last around 10 years a 12/12 flower light should last about 20 years or more.

    Don’t tease me but I need help

    That driver will run two of those strips in parallel going to take them to the maximum 1000 mA drive current though. Running three on that driver will run them close to 700 mA. If you just have one strip I would use a driver like A APC-25-700 that will run it @ 700 mA...

    Show me your worm bins and compost

    Thanks , there is 1" foam board insulation covered with shower panel scraps i had left over. Gives it about a R6 insulation value when adding in the 2x4. Gets pretty cold here so that helps them keep warm When it gets to 10F or colder I add 15 watts of heat per a side with germination mats.

    Don’t tease me but I need help

    Missing 1/2 of the quick release looks like to me. I would show cutter the pics and see what they say. Hooking it up backwards wont fry it just wont light up. Hooking LEDs up backwards turns them into light sensors rather then light emitters. I would guess the solder-less quick release by the...

    Supersoil for my exact needs

    175 gallons total for two 65's and a 45, so take that 7 gallon recipe and multiply it by 25 to get 175 gallons of SuperSoil.

    Newbie led set-up question

    BXEB-L1120Z-50E4000-C-B3's have a max current rating of 1400 mA so the hlg 480h c2100a driver turned all the way up will fry the strips. A driver with a 1400mA output would take you to max rating of the strips, Running them at max will require cooling so they will need to be mounted to aluminum...

    Show me your worm bins and compost

    Here is my outdoor worm bin. Bottom is made from douglas fur 2x4s stained with a cooking oil and vinegar mix 50/50. Top is some cedar fence pickets. I stain it every spring to keep it from rotting away. 1/4 mesh to keep the rodents out.

    ground wire gauge

    Never have I seen a circuit pulled with a smaller ground wire then power wires and i have pulled thousands of circuits in my time working as a residential electrician. On the other side of that I have never seen a appliance cord with a smaller sized ground then the power wires. Not sure what...

    ground wire gauge

    13 dollars for a 20 amp one I believe the 15 amp ones are around 9 dollars. https://www.amazon.com/TOPELE-Weather-Resistant-Receptacle-Indicator-Included/dp/B00X725XMI/ref=zg_bs_6291366011_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YJMWXFHZH5QG5M58FGQ7

    ground wire gauge

    Should be the same as gauge used for power, but even the 18awg would be better then none if you have your light is on a GFCI circuit then it should pop the breaker before frying the wire. But yeah 14 awg for the ground would pass inspection and be up to Code. I would recommend all things...

    What’s the best bang for buck cob these days?

    Those are the newest veros They are vero18 SE gen7 . I just use more of them and spread them out over the grow area to get a more uniform footprint . I am guessing you want the bigger vero29se going to have to heatsink those for sure to get full power out of them, digikey has them starting at...

    Silica Sources

    Shavegrass also known as horsetail can be brewed into a tea and applied as a foliar. It is high in silica and great as a PM preventative also.

    What’s the best bang for buck cob these days?

    I run two of these per a square foot @ $7.63 a piece and the SE versions require no holders pretty tough to beat that price and two points of light per a square foot. Only down side is heat sink costs unless you just bolt them to some aluminum strips like I do. They put out about 2.4 umol/j @...

    Broken vero cob

    If it is a Gen 7 or 6 Vero it has a ten year warranty even the gen 5's have a 5 year warranty so you might be covered. Not sure if all is the same in the EU , I would contact Bridgelux and see if they will hook you up with a replacement.

    655W in 3x3 or 4x4?

    I showed how to calculate PPFD from the PPF numbers in my first post. Not going to make a difference the further the light sensor is from the LED the lower the PPF readings then doing the math to calculate PPFD will show it gets weaker the higher the light.

    655W in 3x3 or 4x4?

    You should call Fluence a Osram company and tell them they dont know what they are talking about.
