    Mixing types of lights

    I am preparing for my first grow and I am set up with an LED system. BUT, I have recently read of the benefits of mixing different types of lighting i.e. LED and MH. I am considering adding a couple of units to my LED setup. My question for those who actually know what they are talking about...

    Intake fan

    Seems that it is always a good reminder to be cautious of light. I appreciate that. Without being a person that really knows anything at all, it would seem that if the walls of your tent are cavitating, That would be an indication to open your passive intake port just a little more, correct...

    Intake fan

    I totally know the importance of an exhaust fan, likely with a carbon filter. I also know that you need some sort of fresh air intake. So much is talked about with the exhaust and carbon filter, etc, but I just don't read much on the intake. What is everyone using? I expect that an intake...

    Question on the K

    Oh, by the way, I see that HLG has the 260w QB V2 on sale for $330. The 260w QB V1 is $280. Is the V2 worth the extra $50? It does appear that it is more efficient. I note that it is only available in 3000k and 4000k.

    Question on the K

    Corey, my friend, you stay up too late! I really do appreciate all of your input. It has been very well received. I have been doing a fair amount of reading on this website and the consensus is clearly to go with a quantum board. I will order one this morning and probably of the 3500...

    Question on the K

    So, at the recommendation of some kind fellows on this board, I have been directed to order a new LED from Horticulture Lighting Group. This will illuminate 1/2 of my 4x8 grow tent. The other half will be illuminated with a Kind K3 L450, an Advanced Platinum p150 and an Advanced Platinum p300...

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    Further, I am going to have two grow tents with a nursery in rotation. So, the nursery for 6 weeks, a veg tent for 6 weeks and a grow tent for 6 weeks and just rotate them through. Those grow times are rough estimates and I have no idea what I am doing so those times can radically change. I'm...

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    Very, very good, sir. Thank you for your input. Can you tell me what the "cmh" designation is? I'm not sure that I have run in to that designation. I would actually be very interested in what you could point me to. I have a limited budget and don't want to get too deep into lighting as I...

    MarsHydro has some really good deals on their website and they seem to be good quality but I'm unsure.

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    I'm buying these lights used so they are not as expensive at off-the-shelf. This XL600 would cost me $300 although the shelf price would be about $600

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    Very good, my man. Thank you for that!! If I were to purchase the Kind XL600 and used that along with the Kind KL450 and the Platinum P300 that that would be acceptable for 5 plants that are ScrOG'd? I'm honestly doing my best to buy good equipment but I have a budget to maintain. Maybe...

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    Okay... I am NOT looking to go away from LED. I DO NOT care about HPS. Literally every response is speaking to HPS. Again, I am sticking with my LED. My question only is to wether or not it will matter that I have a small, medium sized and large LED lamp in the same grow tent. What about...

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    The short tent is strictly for seedlings. Honestly, yes, I do plan on using that tent with these lights. I plan on using a PAR meter and moving/consolidating plants in order to maintain appropriate light exposure. I know that both you and Gond00s mentioned HPS but I plan on sticking strictly...

    Mish-mash of lights for first grow

    Good day, all! I am preparing for my first grow and am doing my best to be informed and prepared. Naturally, I will have questions for those of you with some experience and who have high expectations and standards. I am starting out growing in my basement and have worked hard to clean it up...
