Take it from a swede, never buy grow goods from ikea. Not even shelves. Its the furniture version of fast fashion.

Thx, its good to know where to start and that its reliable info. Enjoy springtime and boating, just put the fam boat in the sea back in Sweden, every year its nervous since that time the boat fell out of the straps of the crane, luckily it was already over water

A bit off topic on the thread, dont wanna disrespect ops topic. Im going to read up on it a bit more (if you have a good starting point/thread it would be welcome) and maybe ill get back to you if i have questions. Asked here cause youve always seemed to be a friendly and helpfull soul from...

Thats really cool and something i thought about trying a few years ago. Do you mind if i pick ur brain on this over dms?

I think also some is breeder based: its a lot more profitable for a breeder if the customer cant make clones. In my case, wanted to run Novarine but could get seeds from elite, they were sold out and not making anymore. But they do sell an auto version id like to try, even if it irks me a bit...

Leds dont carry any infrared radiation, in difference to any other light source (that i know of, maybe fireflies?) So plants have allways evolved with some heat on their leaves. Without that heat 2 problems arise: insufficient transpiration; drinking slower, and slower metabolism in comparison...

What models was it? Ive heard the 320s dont have voltage adjustment for the ABs. It errs me completely that years after the intro of the ABs there is t really any clear info on this

If they are in series as you say then no probs with using different voltage, they just add up. Would be a hard board to aource drivers for though, 57-58V board.

For high lifetime try to keep your leds at under 50C at junction, they will probably outlast your life. But keep in mind that lifetime tests graphs dont seem to match up by reallife testing by growers: Migro made some tests a few years ago of various growlights, kept them.on for a year or so and...

Yeah well i am one of those led believers but i realize it may not work for everybody. The tricky thing with led is that you really have to be able to dial in your climate, especially in an open space which is our situation, its just so much harder to keep the space hot enough, especially during...

You have to factor in all power consumption; both light and climate control. If you end up adding another 200w in heating that spider farmer consumes the same amount in total. Im not a hps troll, use led for our grow, but sometimes hps has its place in the grow though id probably prefer cmh if...

Led or hps? you could structure this decision by what is easier for you: keeping the led tent over 80 degrees or keeping the hos tent under 80 degrees. While hps has a top temperature for good growth leds have a minimum temp. Remember to factor in plants and transpiration, if you can barely keep...

At what point to take clones of clones: how long must you wait or even at all? I know you have to wait for a few weeks a month in order to take clones of a seed planted plant, basicly wait until it shows sex. But in the case of clones from a clone (which already showed sex) how long should...

Before getting a new dimmer you can try just disconnecting the dimmer entirely, this should make your driver revert to 100%. If yes then get a new dimmer, i think they are googlable as 100K ohm pot led dimmer. In case you find that the driver wont go any higher than where it was stuck then you...

Sorry, wasnt talking about the hlg datasheet, just how samsung and mfters makes their datasheet: i really doubt its just based on measuring output and rather figure out what number to put to make it look as good as possible while minimizing any liability risks of being outside spec. Edit: i...
