    LED feedback: week 4

    Unfortunately this test has been prematurely terminated: The huge winter storm blew out my power for almost two full days...the hydro shut down and the house got down to under 40 degrees and the babies had no light for two days. My plants now look horrible and I am doubting they will...

    LED feedback: week 4

    My 90W LED in only 5 cubic feet of grow space (2 x 1.5 x 2) with 80CFM of ventilation has ZERO heat above ambient 6" below the light. ZERO. The room is 70-75 degrees and the temp in the cab is exactly the same. When I was using just a 150W HPS and 5000 lumen CFL in the same cabinet, the temp...

    LED feedback: week 4

    No, I'm sorry but I've never taken any pics of my grows. My only digital camera is an old phone and it's pics suck, and to be honest I have never learned how to post pictures in forums even if I wanted to. It's a simple setup using a sterilite storage cabinet that is 2' wide by 18" deep and 6'...

    LED feedback: week 4

    For those of you interested in the experiences of new LED users who have no "agenda" and which are hype free, I am very happy with my new 90 watt UFO for my admittedly very small grow. I don't know about the claims that these lights are better than 300-400W HIDs, but so far my LED seems to...

    auto strains in scrog

    The only Autos that would need only 1sq foot of space or less are the ones that are so short (12-15" at harvest) that there is literally no reason to SCRoG them to begin with. Just SoG those. Larger Autos like LR2 and LR2 x AK47 usually get 20-24" tall (at least mine do) and they will need a...

    Too good to be true?

    You really do not know how many lumens you need unless you know how many square and/or cubic feet the garden is. A small garden can get maximum results with much less light than 30,000 lumens.

    PC Grow with A 250 Watt HPS!! Advice?

    Also, if you just want a small grow and are not dead set on a PC case, I have a link showing where people are consistently growing 1.5-2oz of supposedly very good weed every 9 weeks using a stock AeroGarden and Lowryder 2 x AK47 seeds with no additional lighting, no reflection, and adding...

    Led Users Unite!

    I just wish we could cut through all the HYPE and BS and get accurate information about color spectrums and efficiency. Most companies say 660 red is better than 630, but other companies show videos where 630 significantly outperforms 660. Some companies say you need orange and white, other...

    I've seen that video on YouTube. If you watch it closely, you will notice that while yield efficiency per watt is better for the UFO, the overall yield per cycle is almost 50% LESS than the 400w HID that ships standard on that system. The LED yielded more watt per watt, but since it has less...

    PC Grow with A 250 Watt HPS!! Advice?

    Lightproof the fan with a duct with a 90 degree bend in it. You should be able to get lower wattage HID lights in Europe, but probably from a major lighting company that sells all kinds of lighting equipment - not just horticultural lighting. Here is a link to everything you need from a US...

    PC Grow with A 250 Watt HPS!! Advice?

    One more note: My 150w HID increases the grow temp in my box by about 4-5 degrees even with good ventilation (probably because it is such a small enclosed space). Out of curiosity and a desire to lower the temp in my cab during summer (it's fine in winter), I just bought a quad-band 90w UFO LED...

    PC Grow with A 250 Watt HPS!! Advice?

    Your grow space is less than 1sq foot (2 cubic feet), so no matter how much light you have it will be impossible to grow more than about 2oz dried bud in that space. A good-optimum grow yields about .5 - 1 gram of dried bud per watt of HID. If you do the math, you will see that a single 100w...

    Fuckin bullshit ass laws!!!

    I don't have any problem with the police - they are just doing their jobs and society does need them. I am personally thankful for their service. What I do have a problem with is politics and how all that BS creates bad laws and makes it so difficult to reform laws and make our world a better...

    What are you growing with it (plant# and size), and are you using any supplemental lighting or just the one panel?

    How can people smoke several ounces in a week?

    Pretty much any reasonably planned grow will MORE than pay for itself on the very first harvest (compared to giving that money to dealers), and you'll probably get better weed than you can buy out of the deal as well. After that, for a few bucks a month, it's as much weed as you want for...

    Anyone tried Dutch Passion 'The Ultimate' yet?

    Yea my LED is only 90w, but my grow is only about 2 square feet (4-5 cubic feet). My measly 150w HPS was more than adequate for my space, so I'm just hoping my UFO will do just as well or better and do it a few degrees cooler.

    How can people smoke several ounces in a week?

    For people who grow, "affording" it is not an issue. Most people who grow produce more weed than they need - even with small grows.

    So what kind of "evidence" does it take...

    Thanks for the info. Not a single soul knows or even suspects whether I grow or not, unless they get suspicious from my presence here and can track it back to me IRL (and I've never posted any pictures because of security concerns). Only one other person in the world even knows I occasionally...
