    My Arduino & LEDs

    +1 on using an ethernet shield. I have a custom watering system using an Arduino MEGA with the shield -- i control it and receive data with simple JSON commands from a different machine. Keeps the arduiono loop nice and tight and simple and other computer does all the heavy lifting.

    DIY light mover, idea thread. With a twist.

    I'm using one of these to get 2 feet of movement in a long room: http://www.progressiveautomations.com/mini-linear-actuator?gclid=CjwKEAjw3sKpBRDJ7rDqzsyuhDASJACZAikitLBfg7niGV08y4pkJ8JreWRHpG3njrb54kbLghOR3RoCmuXw_wcB Worth it or waste of time?

    CXA3070's available

    I find myself with an excess of CXA3070's that I will let go for a good price. PM me for details. They are AD bin (top bin available right now). thanks!

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    AD bin puts out 9000 lumens vs 8500 for AB. So they are about 5-6% more efficient than the CXA3070 AB's. The CXB runs at a slightly lower voltage, so the CXB AB is probably close to the CXA AD and the CXB AD would be a bit more efficient than the CXA I have.

    DIY COB reflectors

    you think a lens would be a better option instead of some sort of reflector? I like the focus idea, but more glass in the light path is a loss too. Might be time for a test :-)

    Which is better CXA3070 or CXA3590?

    Supra, do you have the spreadsheet that shows a 3070AB vs whatever the top bin 3590 at 3000K would look like? That would be great if you could post that. Building a flower room and need to make a decision soon :-)

    Which is better CXA3070 or CXA3590?

    That is an awesome find! Are you planning to flower and veg with these? I guess 3500K would be a good compromise for both.

    seems like 2 CX3590's (one per umbrella) could light a small studio -- about 36K lumens when driven hard. If you could keep the fans silent that might be interesting.

    Love your CXA3070 thread -- I finally read all 134 pages. One of the most on-topic and useful threads I've seen on any site. Have you made any progress on using 3070's for video lights? I think I remember you saying something about that. I'm thinking about high-CRI lights myself for video...

    Three 600's or two 1000's?

    I'm targeting 4 to 5 ft -- around 8 plants with mainlining to 8 colas each. Following this grow journal for my first bubbleponics (been doing soil/coco so far): http://www.growweedeasy.com/600w-dwc-cannabis-grow-journal

    Three 600's or two 1000's?

    room size is 6x8. Currently running 2 1000's. Thinking about going to three 600's for efficiency (and reduced electric footprint). Bubbleponics all the way. Thoughts?

    colloidal silver not making balls!

    thanks for the tips! I'm using .9999 wire I bought, and a 9Volt DC transformer. Maybe not enough voltage?

    colloidal silver not making balls!

    Thanks for the tip -- I'm definitely not trying to save a buck, it's already been a large investment. All the journals and guides I have read use silver. Whats in Tiresias?

    colloidal silver not making balls!

    Hey guys! I have 3 strains (AK47, Maui Waui and an unknown) -- I've been trying to make feminized seeds out of each. So far it has been a fail. The first set of plants got silvered for over 40 days and only one of the three showed any signs of balls (and they were pretty small). This group...

    Colloidal silver generator -- can't get over 20PPM

    Cool, I will give that a try.

    Colloidal silver generator -- can't get over 20PPM

    I'm generating silver using a generator with distilled water and 4-9's silver -- I can't seem to get past 18PPM. Everything I've read says you should have 40-50PPM. Anyone have experience with this?
