    Anyone tried the RioTinto 500w ETL Spyder

    Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been pretty busy trimming. I think I am going to build one after all and not spend the money on something I can’t find a review for. You guys might be able to help me pick out strips. Right now I have a 2’x4’ and a 2’x2’ tent, I would like to run the same strips in...

    Anyone tried the RioTinto 500w ETL Spyder

    Sorry for the late reply guys and thank you for replying Yeah the $440 is high but after adding up what it would cost to build a light like what’s listed on pacificlightconcepts it’s around $120 cheaper and I don’t have to build it so that’s a plus. I’ve thought about buying something like...

    Anyone tried the RioTinto 500w ETL Spyder

    I’m looking for a new light that will fit my 2x4 and ran across this. After messaging the company a 500w light with 6 bars using all osram leds is $440 shipped or if you want bars with Samsung leds it’s $610 shipped. The light comes with a meanwell driver and can accept a pwm dimmer...

    Second Grow Problems With Vero Cobs

    I am noticing all the buds on the 3 plants this time are getting big including close to the bottom so maybe I won’t end up with a lot of stringy buds. I forgot to upload pictures last time. The lights are on and I’m sorry about that, maybe I’ll turn everything off tomorrow and take some...

    Second Grow Problems With Vero Cobs

    I think that’s going to be the only way to use the light at max power. Raise the light to the roof and use strips for side lighting. Do you have a link to a side lighting strip setup? Would raising the Timber to the roof and then lowering my plants in the tent provide more under canopy and...

    Second Grow Problems With Vero Cobs

    Hey thanks for responding Dawg, I originally posted do you use Vero 29 cobs or a Timber light but I remember reading through your Vero 29 4 & 5k build. From what I’ve seen on here and on other sites plenty of people have experienced the same exact issues with this particular cob vs using other...

    Second Grow Problems With Vero Cobs

    Vpd is consistently on point for whatever temperature it is in the tent. I basically never leave the room my tents in so I’m constantly turning on/off the humidifier/dehumidifier. The root zone temperature is always about 3-4 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the canopy. No lenses on the cobs The...

    Second Grow Problems With Vero Cobs

    I’m on my second grow using a Timber 3VL and I’m having the same issues with my plants as last time and maybe you guys can help. The Timber 3VL is 3 Vero 29 cobs/320 watts driver and I’m in a 2’x4’ tent growing in promix soil/perlite using mega crop and other nutes. During both of my grows I’ve...

    Using 3500k cob with custom 660nm light board

    I haven’t added the 730 yet but plan to after I run some autos, I plan to either build another rail or use rapidled pucks. So when I set everything up I need to use a par meter and get my cobs where I want them then figure up 10-15% of the cob par total and then set the 660 lights to that? I...

    Anyone switch from reptile bulbs to semileds uv?

    Has anyone done this and felt there was a difference and if so what spectrums of leds did you go with? Rapidled sells uva boards and now pucks but neither include any uvb leds. Is only uva needed to affect trichome production and terpenes? I thought it was a mixture of both but not too much uvb...

    Using 3500k cob with custom 660nm light board

    Ok I must have read something else from you that peaked my interest, I definitely remember your name and avatar though and whatever you were talking about was interesting.

    Using 3500k cob with custom 660nm light board

    Thanks guys! Airwalker are you the guy I noticed a few weeks ago that said you use 3000k cobs with a 660 board and it’s been the best so far? Anyway, I wasn’t sure if there was a specific percentage I should use to get the best effect. I’ve read so many different things that 660 helps with such...

    Using 3500k cob with custom 660nm light board

    I have a Timber 3VL and after finishing my first grow I decide to build a 660nm board using 12 XP-G3 660nm LEDs on a dimmable driver. I’m getting ready to start my second grow which will be autoflowers and I need some input on when I should turn on the red spectrum and how bright should I run...

    Is burping needed?

    I decided to burp and move the buds around in the vaults and I’m glad I did. I first didn’t want to toss or flip everything from top to bottom but the hay smell wouldn’t leave the containers. After the first time doing it and reopening the containers a day later the smell changed drastically to...

    Is burping needed?

    I know exactly what you’re talking about. I had this problem the last time I visited Colorado, by the time my vacation was over the bud I purchased at the beginning finally tasted like something acceptable. I’ll keep burping and tossing the buds around every couple of days. Today when I opened...

    Is burping needed?

    thanks everyone for the replies and hope to receive more Okay so I’ll keep burping every other day for the next few weeks. I would love a big delicious cheeseburger right now The flower is remaining dry and stable at 55% rh without the Boveda packets so I’m assuming I can cut back on burping

    Is burping needed?

    If the rh is stable once everything is put it jars/containers is it necessary to burp? I was going to build the Derek Gilman curing system but ran out of time so I decided to try the Boveda Cvault curing system. Everything is working out great but I’m not sure if I need to burp them. The...

    Anyone use the Derek Gilman auto cure system vs. jars

    This is the type of bag I was thinking about using vs a big food saver unit but I think it might be easier for me to use the food saver Sous Vide bags I was thinking about it earlier and I bet using an air pump would get rid of some of the stink vs using the jar/burp method. I kinda enjoy the...

    Anyone use the Derek Gilman auto cure system vs. jars

    Sorry for the late response guys I’ve been pretty busy the past couple days. I harvested on Friday and everything has been drying in my tent at 59%-62% humidity. I ended up cutting all the big fan leaves off before hanging but left all the smaller leaves. I still haven’t decided on what to use...
