I had left over wagos from another build and didn't realize i screwed up ordering until I checked the wiring diagram so i shoved two wires in one side and it came on worked fine but IDK if this is safe.

I'm not an expert but I think You'd have to look at the spectrum charts, I think kelvin rating is just an average of the light color and doesn't specifically describe what light it contains. But I think cmh has some of that mid range orange and green.

And as far as I know these pepper genetics don't have any background of purple color which was a surprise proof of concept. Typically they grow green-orange-red as most peppers do.

Here's some more experiments I've done on plant pigments, specifically with anthocyanin. I've really dialed in my grow environment to produce purpling with a basic setup. The lights are 4000k qb120s or qb132s. You can see on the peppers where the are green, they were covered by leaves. The 4000k...

We had some issues one winter with a 135w kit not lighting up in cold weather. It would flicker on and off slowly until it warmed up. The light on time was in the morning and the temp was about 48-58F in the morning.

I have a theory the BSpec with it's 470nm will increase carotenoids/orange pigment. Does anyone have any results of this. Any evidence that pistils are orange due to carotenoids?

What drivers 120w and under can I run qb648?

Hey everyone, been busy with covid and gardening ofc. I wanted to give everyone an update on my veggie grows. Im now running 12x qb132 v2 4k panels at aprox 600w. I have a 5ft pepper plant now, seemingly infinite amounts of bok choy, strawberries, arugula, romaine, beans, perilla and lots more...

My veggie grows with the 4x v2 132s 185w in 2x4. is going amazing. I now get a harvest of something everyday. Im trying few methods at the same time. One im using my tested cannabis grow style to create some "mothers" with heavy topping/harvesting coco mix, grow bags light watering, no runoff...

Yes, I've been reading into a lot of datasheets for all the specific nm's I'm interested in and ive tried to diy my own stuff but its extremely expensive. Theres very, very little evidence to support anything with FR. Its very likely active in photosynthesis but i have yet to see anything that...

Thats one of the best buds I've seen on here in a while, your trichs look very different than most, whats your curing process and what strain?

Ive gotten faster harvests by manipulating my timer to 11hrs on, and ive gotten longer flowers by doing 13hrs on. More light simply =more bud in my opinion. I see a lot of plants on here that are stretchy and falling over, of course thats great sign you got lot of bud but i cant help but think...

Thanks, I've been watching all the videos. Hes right on far red for lettuce but i dont think far red will benefit cannabis. He seems to say that in the video.

You don't even really need light for microgreens. From the results im seeing with these qb132 v2's, youd get great microgreens with 2 boards on a 80w driver in a 2x4. Idk how low you can run a qb132 amd what drivers would work. Thought about it for years but I dont see it being worth it unless...

Beautiful growth and color on my budget qb132 build. No idea what im going to do with all this basil. Getting little warm in the tent at times, when its sealed and i have the heater on. I'm interested in seeing how well i can grow some winter crops with cool temperatures. I tried spinach before...
