    New to Hydro - Help selecting a system

    Hey RIU! I've been growing in soil for the last couple years, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but I just built a new room, and I've been kicking around some ideas. I'm thinking that I'm going to use the old flower room (8x10)as a small 6-12 site DWC system, and keep going organics in my...

    COB Wiring Troubleshoot Question

    Alright, half the lamp lights up, the other half does not. Both wired in series, switched inputs to see if it was a problem with the driver. It was not. So, it has to be in the series connection. Examined all the lines, don't see anywhere the wire jacket is stripped and grounding out. I checked...

    GC 630 DE CMH

    Howdy I've been impressed with my 315 CMH, and was plotting and planning for a new space. I'll have room to do two rows of four plants in 10gal pots, with a path in the middle. Last run, two wide took up approximately 6ft wide. My original layout was only 6 plants, and I was going to use 4...

    Dragonfly Earth Medicine

    Does anyone here have experience to share on this line? Out of everything I've come across, I think I'm a pretty big fan of it. I try to avoid liquid nutes as much as possible, so this caught my attention. I used it last run, and went through my flowering jar already (made it almost 2 runs on...

    Smell control! Odor coming from the AC Exhaust

    Just like the title says, I'm having a bit of smell bleed from the AC exhaust. The room is filtered, but it's seeping through the condenser and escaping outside. It's about to hit peak flower, so I have to do something, fast. I was looking into getting an inline filter to push the air through...

    Two rooms on flipped schedules, cooling solutions?

    Hey, I'm building out a new environment, and I'm trying to determine the most effective way to cool both sides. I'm going to have two 8x12 rooms on alternating schedules. One side is going to have 3x 315LEC and the other side is going to run 3x 650W Gavita. Is it going to be possible to cool...

    Minimum Specs for CPU Heatsink/Fan on COB?

    Trying to figure out the best combination of efficiency and price on a heatsink/fan for a 18 chip light. I suppose at that point, nothing is really economical. It may even be best to go passive with that many chips, but I'm concerned about the weight of 3 passive heat sinks in my PVC tent...

    How many CXA2530 can I run per 1.05mA driver?

    Title says it all. Trying to build a veg light to saturate my 4x8 tent. Figured I'd get pretty solid coverage with 24 chips, 6x4. Maybe I could get away with 18 only going 6x3. Either way, I was just going to run the 2530s for this, and couldn't dredge up any info on how many I could run on a...

    HB's 3rd run! Headband/WiFi OG - Organic/LED

    Hey guys - Finishing up some modifications in the flower room, but this is what I have ready to toss into flower! Doing less plants this run, due to a complication with the clones I was set to get. I may toss these other two in 10s and just include them as well though. I have 2 Headband and 2...

    CREE Lumia 5 Band Chips?

    I was exploring Cutter, and I came across these chips... http://cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut2825 Made me start wondering... How efficient are these chips? Is there any data on that? I know they're pretty pricey, but if their efficiency is halfway decent I was thinking about using...

    Mixing Blurple and WW Light

    Has anyone ever done this? I just finished up a couple of light bars (140W of CXA 3070 3000K per bar) to add to my room that's currently under a few Magenta Kessils (4x M350 + 6x H150) . Does anyone have any experience mixing spectrums like this?

    Cooliance Heatsink

    Hey everyone - I had mentioned these pre-tapped for the Ideal Chip-Lok holder Cooliance Heatsinks. These are the passive cooling models, designed to operate inside a plenum. According to the rep, if you've got good air flow in the room, there should be no concern about keeping the operating temp...

    Will a MeanWell B series driver work without a dimmer?

    I accidentally (or maybe I didn't have the option) ordered a B series driver, so I've got cables that will go to a POT for trimming. My question is, will this driver work without anything wired there, or do I have to go find a 100k pot to finish this?

    Suppliers for CXA 3070 Lenses (Anyone but KB)

    So, Jerry has told me that he won't sell me just the drivers and lenses unless I buy the chips from him as well. Since I already snagged a few off ebay a while ago, that's not an option. I'm looking for a lens that will fit the Ideal Chip-lok holders, from a supplier other than KingBrite. They...

    Help me build a large CXA3070 Rig

    So, I'm designing a CXA array to cover approx 6x12 space. Still trying to determine if it'd be better to try to fit 3 in 7's across, or just do 2 in 10's. Thinking I might be able to get away with 5 across if I only do 2 in 10's. Anyhow - This is a design that I'm fond of, something really...

    HB's first run - 560W of Kessil LED, Organics, LST and SCROG

    Hi RIU! I've been lurking here for a bit and have poked my head into a few threads. I wasn't originally going to post a journal for this run, but I figured why the hell not. Some basic details: Grow medium - 50% FFHF 50% Super Soil (recipe found in these forums, with slight amendments) - Rice...
