    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    DAY 27 (From Seed) Decided to try some LST and used some gardening velcro to bend the girl over. Turned lights up to ~140w DAY 28 She was looking great! all the leaves had turned over and the top was trying to turn up as well. Then my dumb ass has to fuck with the pot trying to get a...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Thanks for the tip! It was like 50% and after consulting the actual green thumb around here, beheading commenced. I have a 3d printer so I designed and printed everything myself. There are several services out there that can print items for you if you do not have access to a printer...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Thanks! I am happy with the whole package thus far, feeds all my nerdy customization type of needs and seems to be working pretty good. Other than price, what made you go with the 4 COB 300W vs the 6 COB 300W? I was honestly focused mostly on watts per square foot when I was picking my lights...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Thanks! I have been looking at the SCROG thread but this one has many better pictures of the training from early on. Sketches me out to clean that much off of the plant to start out but obviously works!

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Another week has gone by and the girl is growing up. Think it is on the 4th node now, or at least starting it. It's pretty thick with leaves along the stem so it's hard to get a good look. Will probably pot it up to the smart pot soon, turned the lights up tonight a little as well. I guess I...

    Question on changing wattage for veg / flower

    Thanks for the numbers! That gives me something to work with. My light pulls ~330w at the plug on full so that is only about 37w psf in my 3x3. I only have one plant so I am planning more like 5 square for my calculations. (not sure if that is reasonable or if it even works like that)...

    Question on changing wattage for veg / flower

    Yea, may just have to play with it and see how it all goes / do some more research. I assume there are probably some par numbers I could use but then I would need a meter as well. May be too hard to give an estimate based on so many different setup variables etc. I will keep tracking my...

    Question on changing wattage for veg / flower

    New to growing in general and have some questions about output as the plant grows. I have a 3x3 tent with a timber 300w 4cob kit in it. I started a seed and put it in the tent a couple of days after it sprouted. I have the lights dialed down to 100w and they are about 20" away from the plant...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Considered but that was one more variable to add to the mix. Way comfortable with soil, but next time we will see :) Thanks! Just hoping to get enough to last until the next grow :) I have seen people put a lot more LEDs in a 3x3 so was kind of worried about not having enough light. We...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Hello, newbie here. Figured this would be a good place to document the first legit attempt and share with everyone. Feel free to chime in on anything, pretty green on all this other than research, prior gardening experience and one other attempt to grow a random seed with no prior planning...

    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    Yea, I have a Rostock Max v2 with a few modifications. It can print up to 10.5" diameter x 15" tall parts (circular build platform) Takes way longer than screwing it all together but I like how it turned out and I can just reuse the pieces if I want o go bigger.

    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    Thanks! Yes,I designed and printed all of the green pieces you see. Thanks! Depends on if you want to include the cost of the printer :P Really takes more time than anything, each piece was ~3.5 hours print time. Cost of plastic would be less than 10 bucks total, I'd have to weigh it to be...

    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    Hey! Posted this in the timber thread but figured I'd share here too. This is the 300w kit that I put together. I 3d printed (nerd!) some connectors for the L channel and a little mount for the dimmer. Tried to get the timber wording and tree logo in there as well for bonus points. Dialed down...

    Nice work! Makes me feel like my 300w kit in the 3x3 is a bit under sized

    DIY kits now available from Timber!

    Thanks all, it was a fun project! Thanks! It is a bit of work but if you are familiar with any type of CAD you can pretty much print anything you can come up with. There are some limitations of course but some apps that are available make it pretty much like tinker toys (tinkercad.com is a...

    DIY kits now available from Timber!

    Hey! New here. Just put together my 300w kit from Timber. I'm a nerd so I 3d printed a holder for the dimmmer and connectors for the L Channel to hold everything together. Would have done a power plug too but needed the little extra length.
