    I may be older but?

    I'm 72. My grow room is my Zen. Best thing I've done since retiring is grow weed!

    Will i lose big by reducing from 18/6 to 12/12 for last couple of wk critical kush auto (dwc)

    I find that if you flower autos under a 12/12 schedule, they actually flower more slowly. I've got a NL auto right now that I grew separate from from another 5 in a different tent. I gave her an extra 2 weeks ( about 84 days ). I got a bit more bud than any of the other plants,. The buds were...

    4x4 SOG with double Autopot / Autotray 8

    Coco works fine in this system. I'd recommend checking the pots during the dry cycle to determine how long the dry cycle should be. I'd say probably24 - 36 hours. My friend in Amsterdam used large mesh pots, so fabric pots could work well also. I've run a 70/30 mix of soil/coco and was very...

    4x4 SOG with double Autopot / Autotray 8

    I actually learned this from a friend in Amsterdam. He grew monsters indoors! I'm talking nine foot Amnesia plants! He flooded his trays with enough solution that it took maybe 2 days for the plants to use up till the tray was dry, then gave them a day more and then flooded the tray again. I...

    Budzbuddha’s House of HLG ( end of summer ) grow

    My luck's been crap lately, after a series of winter related power outages, I router and modem slowly gave up the ghost, so my internet access has been spotty. All new equipment now......... let's hope that's it for a while.

    Budzbuddha’s House of HLG ( end of summer ) grow

    Hey everyone! have been laid up with severe back issues. But I just had a procedure called IDET, basically they inject a wire into the disk, heat it up and it shrinks the disk. The amazing part is I am pain free! Totally! First time in 35 years! So my point is I'll be here on RIU to help...

    Running two qb648 with 150watts

    I'm sure it will run one, but I don't believe HLG will support it and may invalidate your warranty. I've run four QB304 in parallel when it wasn't advised to do so, with no issues. But there is a risk involved. I'd say, keep an eye on driver temps. Meanwell drivers are pretty rugged though. I...

    Running two qb648 with 150watts

    The constant voltage driver doesn't provide enough voltage when driving a Diablo at 150 watts as the forward voltage of the board can exceed 56 volts. The HLG185H-C1400b provides the voltage needed to run 2 boards with ease. Now with that said, according to the spec sheet, the 150H should be...

    Running two qb648 with 150watts

    I see no reason for this not to work, in fact the driver would better with 2 boards than running with just one on some drivers, like a HLG150H-54 is not recommended. Here's why, with just one boards the Vf (forward voltage ) for a single boards can rise to 56-57 volts, too much for the driver...

    Two New Lights from HLG!

    If that were true, HLG would have gone that route by now. Every design is a compromise of one sort or another. Only the very best of the bar lights come close to matching HLG's lamp efficiency.
