Agreed, I still have a couple 1000w dimmable ballasts as well as some Sunsplitters that I used to run 2 x 600w bulbs - using a lux meter and my Kill-a-watt meter, I wasn't able to get any better efficiency or output by dimming a 1000w bulb or splitting it between two 600w (which ran about 550w...

From the point of view of flexibility I think a big advantage is that you can design your own LED fixtures to fit your grow space precisely, whereas HPS fixtures you're stuck with a certain footprint that can only be slightly altered by the type of reflector used, and always with one central...

Luke, I'm certainly not arguing against a standard, I agree that it would be a good thing, just don't see anyone forcing them to do so. The technology is moving so quickly along with the boom in sales it creates a perfect environment for lots of shady types whose only goal is to make money. It...

Heat's always a concern with HPS, I used them for years, but recently switched to LED's and haven't looked back. Saves on cooling and uses less wattage but don't buy them ready made because it'll cost you 2-3 times as much and they're really not hard to make once you get the right parts sized...

And probably the main reason you don't see 600w HPS being sold as 1000w has less to do with some standard then the fact they've been around A LONG TIME, and is a simpler technology that is much more easily understood (and manufacturers of bulbs would probably go out of business if they lied...

You were being argumentative plus you keep insisting that you want some "standard" to be imposed before you'd commit when the facts are you'll be waiting a LONG time, lol. The best option is to SIMPLY ASK FOR ADVICE from those who are trusted and can give you the straight dope on what you're...

You keep arguing with CobKits as if he had any say in how the manufacturers of LED lights market their products, when the fact is there's no actual laws that govern whether manufacturers fudge the numbers or not. For most applications OTHER than grow lights, most LED light stats are accurate...

Just a few pics of how they turned out on chop day, one of the biggest indoor plants I've grown and the point is that training plants to grow horizontal, with a bit of added veg time, can really pay off. Sorry about hijacking the thread, I did come here looking for more info on Blumats...

Well don't have any good pics, I mostly took videos of that grow and only afterwards did I realize I don't have any video editing skills, lol, something I'm planning on learning in my old age ;?D So here's three screen clips, may overlap a bit and the lights not great so doesn't do it justice...

DesertHydro, I agree and I've trained plants to grow sideways and I just don't see the advantage to breaking and stressing the plant at all, plus you delay/slow the growth while she repairs herself. I'll have to look and see if I can find some pics of the last one's it did, the strain was...

I don't mean to sound so pessimistic, lol, but IF marijuana becomes rec legal across the majority of states (say 30 or more) in the next 10-12 years, that will be great for medical users, for smokers and Big Canna (pot's version of Big Pharma, lol), just us small growers will wind up with the...

The only problem I see with this is that when states really start to regulate the medical side of cannabis, we could see a swing towards far more stringent controls and testing by health agencies, some of which are needed because we are talking about medicine to treat sick people and because...

Looking good Cy, what strain is that (fem or reg seed?). Only thing I would change is not to use mineral water, I don't think it's necessary, just get the cheapo generic spring water if there's a problem with your tap water. Otherwise just keep it simple, using tap water after leaving it sit for...

I had a good experience with Barney's Critical Kush and LSD. The CK lived up to the rep for being a heavy producer, I remember a couple of forearm sized colas and more than a couple of snapped branches. And the LSD was impressive too, one of the more potent strains I'd grown up to that point...

They should change their name, we ain't growin hemp here :P How about Cannabis Depot - I already checked the names available (but I just bought the domain and willing to sell it for a reasonable profit :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:).

I don't know why some people claim that DJ Short's current Blueberry isn't the real deal anymore, that somehow it got lost and/or that the strain he's now selling is weak or not up to the reputation of the original. I have a friend in Portland who recently grew a batch who also grew the...

SUMMARY FOR SENSIBLE SEEDS Before summing up let me again state that I am in no way affiliated with this company, nor have I asked for or received any special treatment for this review. I started out simply wanting to help clarify that Sensible Seeds is a long-standing and reputable company as...

One more update on some of the seeds I purchased from Sensible Seeds. I took 10 of the Mega Mouth, along with the GSC from Cali Connection and the three singles of Seriously Citrus, Gorrila Glue #4 and the GG#4 x WW and germinated them in the normal manner, and was pleasantly surprised to find...

NICE!!! That's more within my price range, I'll have to get me one ;?) BTW, just a follow-up on the peroxide and its hazards. So I had moved the humidifiers out of the grow room, and since there was a little left, I turned them on so I could fog the area around the room's perimeter, then just...

Well just popped the GSC, six for six, so at least good viable seeds. Now just praying there's no herms.
