    DIY with Chilled PCB's and cxb3590

    This is really unacceptable, the customer shouldn't need to splice wires to make Fluence's products work together. You need to send them an email letting them know that you feel this is unacceptable from a customers perspective, and urge them to better integrate their products. These should be...

    and there was much rejoicing! :clap::clap::clap: I had no idea that the prospect of conveying useful information, explanations, and sources was BS that people can't be bothered to make time for... but maybe I'm reading more into that than I should. ;) Enjoy the rest of the thread people, I...

    Was I the only one confused by your post? Because, by your own admission, it was more than just me. Subsequently, all I was trying to do was point out why your post was misinterpreted by at least two of the people on this thread. By the way, I haven't smoked anything for more than 5 years...

    PetFlora - "I would not mix 730 into the SPYDR bars You could by a couple 2ft bars with 730 and put them on separate timer" ≠ "saying 730 is best on separate bars/timer" You may think that's what you were implying, but stating a negative opinion does not mean you are expressing a positive...

    Actually, you didn't say that, at least not on this thread. what you said was... Granted, having the 730's on a separate timer would be ideal, but that's an added expense, better, in my opinion, just to throw a couple on the Bloom bars so they're evenly spaced and live with them being always...

    dojoking - Since HPS lights are severely lacking in the blue spectrum it's no surprise that the first 10% has such a huge effect. I'd liken it to being dehydrated in the desert, the first 10 oz of water is going to help you a lot, the next 10 oz less so, by the time you hit 50 oz your bladders...

    LED, Inda-Gro Induction, Plasma, CMH, MH or HPS? This may help you decide...

    Dojoking - In my theoretical setup of 7 bars across 24", the spacing is 1.1 inches between bars, so the light spread should be very even. At 12" above the canopy, with a 90° lens, each LED should cover an 18"x18" area, so there will be plenty of overlap, the end caps (the last 6" on both ends)...

    Awesome responses guys. Keep the useful information coming!! Another thing I liked was the information about Daily Light Integral (DLI) as a Moles/Day value. I've been trying to find information on Cannabis' requirements. In another forum I read someone say it was 22-26 Moles/Day, but I...

    I don't know if these charts have been posted before. I've read a good number of LED and Inda-Gro threads and I don't recall ever running across links to this information. So I thought it might help out those trying to decide on what lighting type will work best for their application. These...

    Inda-gro Induction...

    Quick question - I haven't seen it discussed much, and I'm pretty sure I've read all 184 pages (though not all at once). For those of you running the 420s with pontoon, what is your gram to watt ratio? Anyone getting near the gram per watt mark? Exceeding it? I know a lot depends on strain, but...

    I get this problem regularly in hydroponics, not sure of the cause... (pics provided)

    My tap water is generally in the 250ppm range, so my nutrients and other additives (pH down, Silicon, Cal-Mag, Fulvic acid, H2O2) were adding 1250ppm.

    Beneficial Additives in Hydroponics! *A MUST READ*

    Congratulations jpeg666, absolutely the best post on additives and nutrients I've seen on RIU yet. Consolidates most of the information I've spent years researching, and testing, and lines up pretty well with what I'm using. Here is what I currently use and why... Botanicare's CNS17 Grow...

    Thanks for all the replies, I'll dial down the nutes... BustinScales510, you are actually correct as well, the only plants that exhibit this, on inspection, are the ones closest to the fans. It's actually been a long time since I've researched recommended TDS levels, maybe 15 years. From what I...

    It doesn't seem to line up with any of the deficiencies I've read about, I'm wondering if anybody has any insight. My pH is generally between 5.6-6.0 tds between 1500-2000ppm. It only seems to happen to older & mid growth leaves. The leaves are at least 2' away from my 600w HPS lamps. It has...

    For those who like to have the latest toys, and a photo record of when they harvest.... The new ProScope Mobile.

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    Has anybody tried WavePoint's Ultra Growth Wave? If so, where did you get them? I can only find one place online that claims to have them, Aquatic Connection, but their customer reviews are terrible... almost to the point of customers claiming outright fraud. Combine that with per bulb prices...
