Hello. I am growing in a small 60*60*160cm tent, a singe plant in a 20L air-pot, with a mix of coco and hydrocorn(clay pebbles?), I'm using Canna Coco, Canna Calmag and hydro silicon. Everything has been going just fine but yesterday I spotted these bugs running around on the side of my...

I always feel very impolite or not appreciative when I make a thread, get answers and then don't reply for such a long time but I have a hard time managing ADD and I can't really control when I'll return my attention to this particular problem. I didn't know that brazing would be such a...

Well I was talking about two different things, the first one was soldering with solder iron, ordinary solder and special flux, the other was the using brazing rods, I realize that many people probably already knows about this stuff but I didn't and there might be others whom like me didn't know...

Hello. I had planned to build a new grow light using a aluminium sheet and I have looked up driver and LED's and everything, I can't recall all the names right now but it is based primarily on EBgen2 stripes, but The project stalled due to me not finding a suitable or satisfactory way of...

This is a good read about these sort of sensors from what I remember.

I don't know but perhaps it would be an idea to build such a sensor but one that has some sort of display to allow every non-electronics-people to easily be able to buy and use such sensors. Such as a simple LED bar with 10 steps and a buzzer that have a button to be used for calibrating the...

It depends on what pot you are using but since I am using air-pots I am considering building such an capacitive soil moisture sensor to be pushed right through the pot in the middle of the pot(middle is related to the height of the soil, so the sensor would occupy the soil in the absolute centre...

I don't think I mentioned it but I am also including a host of sensors in my system, one of the ones I am most interested in is the soil moisture sensor. But although there are many such sensors easily and cheaply available that can be read by any arduino or raspberry pi they have one fatal...

I will be controlling every single device in me tent by means of Solid State Relay's controlled by a microcontroller which keeps an accurate account of time with a Real Time Clock(DS3231), so I don't have to be concerned with different kinds of physical timers plugged into the wall, I can easily...

I might in a few years time, maybe, but my main interest is Sativa. The eBay seller who I am going to buy from have a range of LED colours and depending on which colour they might be Epileds, Epistar or some Bridgelux LEDs. This is the add. @ KrazyG Mounting the UV such as you did would...

By dimensionally accurate I meant that the lines that mark the alu sheet outline is in proportion to those that mark the tent outline which is 60cm. And as far as I know the EBgen2 series are ether 280mm*24mm, 560mm*24mm or 1120mm*24mm. I had previously planned on hanging the UV lights on the...

Or perhaps I could/should get T5 connectors and mount the reptile tubes directly to the aluminium sheet since the bulbs are only 55cm and then put the ballast or whatever is inside the T5 fixture case on the topside of the sheet.

Hello. I am putting together a LED grow light, as it stands now it is planned like this: [The picture is dimensionally accurate, while using 25mm for the EBgen2 width and 3cm diameter for the 3W LED's which are star boards] The stated 15min before and after sunrise/sunset isn't a sure thing, I...

I am not natively English speaking(European) and I can't figure out what aluminium flashing is, I am also building a 12(or 14) * EBgen2 520mm build driven by a HLG-320H-C1050B driver. What is the difference between a plain aluminium sheet(2mm thick for example) and aluminium flashing? My best...

Hello. I have been researching this for weeks now without making any progress, in another thread I was advised that I can drive a number of EBgen2 LED strips connected in parallel with a MeanWell HLG driver which features both Constant Current(CC) and Constant Voltage(CV), it isn't that I don't...

Hello. I have not found much about this online thus far though I haven't been at it for very long, but in some text I found a reference to something they called "Blue Light Treatment" during the last 3 days before harvest, which supposedly constitutes an increase in blue light in order to...

I have no source of actual info that I can recall but I have a feeling that above 700nm red light is what I should go for. I am now preparing for actually buying 12 * EBgen2 56cm but I can't see from the picture that INF flux posted nor from the datasheet how those connectors on the EBgen2...

So I am looking for IR LED starboards and the 3x1W LED driver you mentioned(again great suggestions) but one thing is still unclear to me. All I know is that I want wavelengths within the IR part of the spectrum but "IR" seems to have a broader meaning than other color names, as for red vs...

Ok, just so you know I haven't worked out the cost of both options that has been mentioned but I have decided that I will get 12 BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 from digikey, with ether a HLG-240H-20B or a HLG-320H-20B(since I will be adjusting the output with PWM although lately I have been leaning...

I found this great new thing called google that has lots and lots of answers to my question last posted...
