Since I moved, I decided to make some changes to my small personal grow setup. Nothing special to see here but maybe it'll help some others. First the lamp, for which I've added two more H-Influx L06's (for a total of 8 or 704 lm301b diodes). I also switched from an XLG-200-24 to a...

I've never had a seed go bad but it seems like my entire seed inventory has simultaneously gone to crap which really blows. In the past, I'd germinate all my seeds in rockwool, issue free but then I tried to pop some new ones a month ago and after the tap root would form, growth would just stop...

Tent is 27"x27" Mars Hydro French Cookies from T.H. Seeds GH Waterfarm with no mods (save for a few extra basket holes) Feeding with my goto; GH Maxibloom only, tap water Light build: 6 Samsung H-influx L06 3500k 2 Horticultural Lighting Group QB11 660nm Pulling 150w for now 12" above...

I built a new lamp for my new 5sq ft tent (27"x27"). The goals of the project were to; 1) provide a relatively even footprint 2) incorporate deep reds 3) have a seed to finish spectrum and 4) crank out up to 40w per sq ft (~200w total). In the end I got more than I bargained for while also...

Hey guys, as the title of the thread says, I'm running a DTW style configuration for the first time so I'm looking for some tips from those experienced with DTW, especially with rockwool as a medium. I'm not running into any issues whatsoever but I've been measuring my runoff and my pH is...

I searched around and I don't really see anybody talking about this. For a while now I've relied on the typical mechanical and/or digital plug timers but for Christmas my buddy got me these...

I’m a huge fan of fabric pots these days and I am also definitely a believer in the notion “bigger roots = bigger fruits.” I saw a fabric pot manufacturer advertising the ability to make “modular plant beds” by arranging fabric pots side by side - they claim that the roots will grow out of their...

First journal so here goes: Tent: 3'x3' Lamp: HLG QB260v2 3000k with DIY retrofit x2 Samsung LT-F564B 3500k (may swap for PLC if availability allows) @ 1400mA Plants: Humboldt Seeds Blue Dream (from clones - rooting now, Day 7) Grow Style: Flood and Drain (2'x2' ID table) basic bitch status Grow...

I thought the 3x3 could benefit from a more uniform spread although the HLG 260 v2 kit on its own did just fine. I added 2x Samsung LT-F564B 2′ Strips in 3500k running off of a Meanwell HLG-120H-C1400A Driver mounted on 2" wide 2' Heatsinks from Heatsink USA. Everything is mounted in series on...

For flower setup, I've had a running debate in my head over drip irrigation vs ebb/flow. I enjoy tinkering and fk'ing with stuff so the idea of a modular ebb/flow system seems fun while drip irrigation seems to be boring to configure even though it has generally been accepted as being an...

This is the opposite of advanced but for many, that is a blessing so I wanted to show people that you can in fact veg some decent cannabis plants with these suckers. I planted the seeds in rockwool in late June, they sprouted early July. When I started the grow, I had only one bulb hanging and...

Started 2 plants from seed. One (right) is a pineapple kush plant doing well. The mutant is from a humboldt blue dream...and it was my last blue dream seed. At one point, for no apparent reason, at node 3 or 4, the main shoot just started to get...confused. Leaf growth has been odd from day...

Just found this section and decided to share my recent project. I got into DIY LED's at around the time I decided to build this little box. I didn't care about its appearance, I just needed it to be concealable. The idea was to build a small mother keeper that would require almost no...

I'm going to build a DIY flower LED next, but since I needed a place to store/hide mom's, not to mention a place to start with regard to DIY LED (and electronics in general), I figured a single lamp DIY LED would be a good starting point. The lamp: (1) Vero 29 5k @700mA via Mean Well...

So I'm building a clone and veg station and I intend on lighting them with some diy led's I rig up. My issue is with drivers. The configuration I came up with is: (2) Vero 13 @500mA (32.3v) elg-75-c500 (3) Vero 18 @1050mA (29.5v) elg-100-c1050 The problem is trying to find these drivers is a...

Hey guys, I'm delving deeper and deeper into the world of diy led and am getting a bit confused by a couple of things. This really started happening when I began researching Vero LED's. I would like to make my first DIY LED on as much of a budget as possible, so Vero 29's seem to be the way to...

I'm running a 2 plant RDWC grow in a 2x4 tent w/ an 8 bulb t5. Flipping and installing scrog net this week. Had some struggles along the way but I'm super happy with their health and appearance so all is well. At the start of the grow however, one clone took to her new home in the bucket...

So I've been trying to reduce water temps in my RDWC setup which is utilizing a submersible water pump (an ecoplus 185). I've read a lot that this pump or another pump that I happen to own (ecoplus 396) can be used inline. However, both just leak and leak from the manifold which after...

Curious if anyone's using them, has used them, considered, or is considering using them. I saw them on the site when I was looking for standard net pot bucket lids and purchased them to try...and b/c I can be a sucker for marketing. I got the 6" version. The idea seems cool and I figured...

Never did a grow journal. Relatively new to photoperiod varieties, first RDWC. Previous grows were all autoflower varieties in a single tote system under LED - super micro grows. At the start of this grow, my intent was to create a big, single plant ScrOG. Unfortunately, I had a bout with...
