    Useful Seeds

    I'm always interested in the whole NDNGUY "79 Christmas bud thing. Would like to see a thread dedicated to it actually. So many questions I have that I wish I would have asked. I got a hold of some seed as a freebie dated as born on 12-2018 and was very glad to have them. Here is an interesting...

    Fluorescent tube replacement LEDS?

    Something similar I've been tinkering with... Philips high flux modules with their xitanium driver. Driver output is variable by placing proper resistor across two provided contacts. Factory settings drives four modules at around 45W with impressive brightness. 3k,3.5k,4k,and 5k temps...

    LED Noobs, STOP Buying China Junk

    Well I absolutely agree with you that it is all about the quality of the diodes used. However, I must reiterate that all Chinese made fixtures do not use "el cheapo" components. You do not have to pay through the nose to get a good fixture. People here seem to be swayed by the cost of the...

    LED Noobs, STOP Buying China Junk

    Silly geese, does not matter WHERE unit is made. What matters is the quality of the components used and to a smaller extent the quality of workmanship. Funniest thing is all but one of the units you guys foam over are made in China. This idiot is still bashing "kind led" just because the housing...

    what's your electric bill/ how many watts do you use/do you worry about it?

    Wow, you are definately right, it is a smart meter. I guess they are more prolific than I thought. Appologize for questioning your post. Best wishes.

    what's your electric bill/ how many watts do you use/do you worry about it?

    Don't confuse simple digital meters that send data once a day with the new "smart" meters which send almost real time usage data. If you do indeed have true smart meter you can go online and actually watch the graphs change when appliances turn off and on, lights etc. Any regular use of the same...

    what's your electric bill/ how many watts do you use/do you worry about it?

    Not for long, if you are in the USA. Smart meters are coming. If anyone dares to grow in an illegal state certain measures must be taken. Read up and use your brain. With a bit of subterfuge the on/off cycles can be made less obvious to the automated programs looking for them. Smart meters are...

    Plant Moisture Stress - Symptoms and Solutions

    Uncle Ben, I have been enlightened and sent on a quest for more basic knowledge in indoor horticulture due to reading this thread. Somewhere awhile back I have become lost. Your insistance that one cannot overwater due to wicking and drainage has me fascinated. This is an issue I have been...

    Post your LED-grown Bud Porn here!

    Nice work. Obviously you are able to grow under LED. Don't know if you are doing hydro or soil/soil less mix. Perhaps you would consider writing up a grower's guide for LED. There is such a learning curve for LED someone should take the time to write a nice guide up and save a lot of folks the...

    Kind LED 450 its HERE XD

    I am betting the KIND led light will not crap-out like hgrow says. It is not made from same components as chinese shite lamps in same housing. Why are some people so thick? Don't they understand how factories build to order for the different compNies?

    Why do ALL the LED grows look so lame compared to HID?

    Consider the source. hyroot has abandoned LED and went with induction. I am all for experimentation but why not be honest.

    Why do ALL the LED grows look so lame compared to HID?

    AMEN! However I must stress the fact that some strains/crosses seem to do better than others under LED.

    Why do ALL the LED grows look so lame compared to HID?

    There is the hype. If this were the case than why the trend to go to white LED panels?

    Why do ALL the LED grows look so lame compared to HID?

    Just wondering why all the LED grown pics when compared to HID pics look so weak. People all excited about buds which are so small. I have yet to see an LED grow which even equals MH/HPS grow. After spending thousands I wish I would not have let myself fall for the hype.

    Best LED light for my space?

    I know where you are coming from, but I will add one thing. If you buy cheap shite you will get cheap shite, however not all high priced LEDs are worth the money. There are outfits charging big money for crap. I know, I own a couple units which I paid top dollar for and am sorry I tried the...

    Kind LED 450 its HERE XD

    The are only so many factories in China knocking out these panels. They will build to spec whatever the company submitting the job requests. If you had the money they would build for you whatever you want depending on component availability. Sure they produce shite panels and sell them for big...

    Anyone have a BD360-U ? I could use your help...

    I someone could help me out by comparing this pic with their fixture Or even better providing a comparison pic. I am concerned about the number of unlit diodes as well as the unsymmetrical pattern of several of the unlit diodes. One can see a pattern and it is easy to spot the unlit LEDs which...
