    How hard is it to DIY install a mini split ac?

    I've installed 2 Ramsond DIY units myself that are still working after 5 years. I even ran the electrical circuits. The hardest parts were drilling holes through the walls of my metal building and lugging the outside units into place. The 24,000 BTU units weigh over a hundred pounds so you might...

    Summary on the influence of UVB-radiation on cannabis

    The estimate of 140 total minutes for Agromax seems right. How you break it up doesn't matter much, but I would break it up just to avoid any risk of burning the plants. I only run the bulbs the last few weeks of flower, starting out low, then increasing the total minutes. I don't think the UVB...

    Summary on the influence of UVB-radiation on cannabis

    I've used the AgroMax Pure UVB bulbs for a year, 6 intervals of 15 minutes a day, hung about 3 feet above the canopy about 4 feet apart. You don't want to be in the room when these are on. Also, they will damage tender growth that has not been exposed to UVB. This is a problem if you are running...

    UV, IR, How much, for how long?

    At 3 ft a single Agromax tube should cover 12 sq.ft. Any closer and the radiation will be too intense. The "night response" is to far red (730 nm). You can buy buy bulbs that use regular light sockets, ready-made LED units, or you can buy the chips and driver to make your own far red LED units...

    O.C. GG#4 In the SunCloak 4416

    Seems like you need more buds around the perimeter of the cube. Remember about half the volume of a 4 foot cube is within 10 inches of the perimeter. That means 9 plants like TT or else allowing your plants to stretch outside the cube, then maybe cutting them back. Something to consider next...

    UvB LEDs

    I've used both the Repti10 and AgroMax Pure UVB bulbs. The AgroMax really do have 7-8 times as much UVB. Be careful with them-even an hour a day at 3 feet can damage your plants.
