    COB spacing for 2x4

    I built a couple of panels using 4 cxb3590's per panel a while back & spaced them out so that when hung in a 2x4 the cobs would be centered in each square foot. Mathematically this seemed to be the best layout but in practice I get a hot spot down the center of the 2x4 so I'm considering a...

    Fastbuds Pineapple Express

    Yeah, a long time ago. It was stellar to say the least. Grew in dwc, got root rot (user error!) but still coughed up nearly 4oz of crystal coated buds that would take the back of your head off. Don’t know yet if its comparable to the G13 photoperiod strain but I intend to find out at some point.

    MKP and PS dosage

    Different manufacturers have different levels of elements in their base fertilizer. I think Flowki is actually suggesting tailoring your mpk dosage based on the ppms of the other elements include in your base ferts. Without knowing what your base is & at what strength you are feeding at he can’t...

    Changes at Timber Grow Lights

    So, the boards are not a match for cobs then? Not stirring just curious. I have a friend looking to switch from hps to led & boards or strips seemed to be the current favourite.

    safe range of calmag

    When I used to use calmag I would add at 1ml per litre which worked out as a 0.2ec bump. Now I use an extra 0.2g per litre of calcinit & an extra 0.1g per litre of Epsom salt to mimic calmag supplementation. I’m in the UK though so I expect my water supply already has a chunk of calcium & mag...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Cheers@Skybound420 Mathematically I could not see any reason that would not be the case but not knowing anything about chemistry or hydobuddy etc I thought I would ask the question.

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    At the risk of asking a dumb question here…… let’s say I want to use the 321 recipe as an example. Can I adjust the levels as long as I keep the ratios rather than mixing full strength & then watering down? So, for instance for half a gallon 1.5, 1, 0.5 or for 2 gallons 6, 4, 2? Appreciate the...

    Problems since switching to leds

    Yeah, my sister tried to go the Timber route but they wouldn’t ship to the UK. I think they must have had some bad experiences with international shipping. I think a lot of people got onto LED’s because of Growmaus video’s. I’ve got the old cxb’s & a small Samsung strip build as well. Quantum’s...

    Problems since switching to leds

    I didn’t realise is stayed cold till this point in the year in Aus. You’ll probably swing from to cold to, to hot when the weather changes. Murphy’s law. Yeah LED’s are a game change really. They just save you so much electricity which really matters in some countries. In the UK we literally...

    Problems since switching to leds

    Maybe very slightly over fed but not anything that is going to cost you significantly in yield, in my opinion at least. As I said before I think increasing the calmag dosage was the right way to go. Going out on a limb here but I thought it looked like a slight mag deficiency. Providing you can...

    Most Underrated Strains

    Dr Underground Crystal Meth Terrible name but great plants. Tend to be more Critical dominant than Destroyer but there is enough Destroyer in there to make a difference, plus they only take 7-8 weeks to flower. Critical Bilbo is itself an amazing smoke but the Destroyer just improves/prolongs...

    Problems since switching to leds

    Yeah like others have said plants seem to like more calcium and/or magnesium when growing with led's. I have seen over watered plants in coco first hand. It is possible, just rare. Thanks to advice from RIU members I always gun for 27c as a min lights on temp. I see a huge improvement in growth...

    Anyone else hate The Last Jedi as much as I did?

    Agreed, everything since the original 3 has been varying shades of shit. I think it's a case of the new stuff being dumbed down for its target audience, kids. Story lines are simplified, full of holes & cheesy. I'm guessing Disney it's trying to get each generation hooked on is cgi sugar coated...

    Help an idiot wire some strips

    Excuse my terminology but Balls Balls Balls I hate creating unnecessary work for myself. Thanks for the help as always guys/girls. I’m off to re-wire again. Good thing I didn’t spend time making it look all nice & clean in parallel.

    Help an idiot wire some strips

    Bastards! Not you guys, Digi-Key. Ok just to clarify there are 6 strips on this & the way Digi-Key explained it is that each strip is manufactured in a way to only carry so much current in series & they were saying 5 strips is pushing it & beyond 5 strips the current level could fry the first...

    Help an idiot wire some strips

    Looking for a little help as usual. Ok above is a Samsung F-Series strip build that I put together for vegging some plants. Now initially I wired it in series & it worked fine. I then realised I hadn’t checked the maximum number of these strips than can safely be wired in series. Digi-Key...

    Newb questions, paradise seeds

    No worries. As far as I am aware all the breeders mentioned in this thread have a good rep so you’ll probably be fine either way. There is always the chance of being unlucky & getting a runt but that is the case with any seed you pop. Good luck with what ever you choose.

    Newb questions, paradise seeds

    There are actually fair few Paradise seeds grow reports around. I don't know what search phrases you are using but usually something along the line of ' breeder name, strain name, grow' hit enter & you should find a lot of grow logs & reports. Also, if you haven’t already, have a look at...

    Newb questions, paradise seeds

    Nothing wrong with any of the breeders mentioned here. Paradise have been at it for a long time. I wouldn't class karma anymore stable than paradise. They are just European where as most members here are from the state's or Canada hence American & Canadian breeders being recommended here. They...

    Part/Tool for DIY LED strip build

    Yes. They are the items that pop up on #bay when I run a search for barrier strips. Ideally I want to bolt one of these onto the side of a strip build to make the wiring secure & idiot proof.
