Since converting my room to water cooled LEDs iv managed to get my room temp this summer to stay below 32C which has been the highest recorded temp. (Compared to last years 38C) I want to improve this slightly so have been researching DIY AC and dehimidifer conversions. But none of them have...

Wondering if any one else logs every thing daily on a spread sheet. Last few cycles iv done it just on paper and has helped me dial in my strain but this time iv used a spread sheet. If you do Im just wondering if there is anything extra I should be logging or using to calculate things. This is...

Decided to cut my losses after wasting $150 trying to make uniseals work. First off had round buckets, Leaked very badly. So bought another set of square ones. Leaked just as badly. So got under sized hole saw and bought another set of square buckets, No difference at all. (leaking between...

So just finished planing the rest of my room and thought it was time to do a write up. First off Budget: Water cooling parts for LEDs come out to about $200 USD Parts for the RDWC: Mostly had other then 1 extra bucket, some pipe a pump and fittings. Come out at $100USD but bought it locally...

Dehumidifer had stuffed out a week ago only only managed to get it fixed today so had quite a bit of humidity stress 90RH. Found 2 little banana's down low on a branch and the buds around it have started to show orange pistols. Its usually another 2 weeks on this strain before they turn so im...

Just thought id post up my build for my latest light. Been wanting to add on to my 6 light 3070 CREE setup so though why not go some what big for a center light and use 4 side lights for flower room then retire 2 into the clone/veg box. Still waiting on the LED chip which should hopefully be...

Have lost power at my place so many times this year im really thinking of adding a back up. Power outages have been from 30mins to 3-4 hours. Basically have 3 ways I could do it but ill give some specs on my room first. Total draw for the room is 450W, Which will soon be increasing to 680W when...

Looking to pick up a single CLU058-1825 for use with a mother that can get quite large between cloning. Wanting to drive it somewhere around 180-250W since it will be water cooled to remove most the heat from the grow box. What are some options for drivers? I have found a HBG-240-60B driver...

Im wanting to try something different this coming flowering cycle. From past experience with the strain im dealing with I know it will start to per flower with 14 hours on 10 hours light off. But iv just done my usual of clones under 24 hour, Then veg at 18 hours and decrease a hour per week...

Been running DWC fine for awhile now, with the EC being 0 and PH 7.4 from the tap and all I needed to do was add nutes until EC of 1.2 which would make my PH 6.0. After a week it would becomes EC 0.8 and PH 6.5 Recently there was a gastro bug outbreak which was blamed on the tap water and they...

We all get crazy idea after a smoke but here is one I had and one iv done some testing with. Can you use solar panels under LED lights? The thought being to recapture some power thats getting wasted on the floor and roof. Here are the results I found. Took a old solar panel from a small usb...

Had bad luck last round with my clones with only 1 out of 10 taking root on my strain that iv been cloning clones of for the past 5 years. Up to 12th clone of clone. So thought Id try re-vegging after harvest and it looks like its a success. As per instructions I found I left the lower 1/4 of...

So bit of back story, Lots of growns sucessful with dirt,perlite,drip,hempty and smaller DWC. Last grow in 5gal DWC no issues at all. Grow before in 3gal DWC space issue. Just steeped up to 10gal since wanted to go big this time and im having a hard time even starting off. Steeped up to...

With my last (Chinese LED) grow coming to a finish its time for me to start my new grow. Have just finished ordering parts and my clones are getting to the size where they want to be moved. So here is my plan. Using 100% perlite in a hempy setup with a automated drip feeder. Since pictures are...

Yes this is one of those threads. I already have a good idea based on past grows with this strain but interested to see what others think since got nothing better to do today. Now Guess. And video since it was too hard to get focused shoot with microscope. https://vid.me/e/D4v3

Thought Id make this to share what I have done and help anyone else that wants to simplify there active cooling. I had previously been using old AC to DC power adapters from thing I no longer needed (Old modem 7V 2amp) For my flower room And for clone room a 5V adapter from a old shaver. I got...

Was planning on doing a Neem spray today and while inspecting plants before spraying have found theres a jumping spider moving between plants so have delayed me spray. Is it good to have a jumping sider in the garden, There are no signs of any other pests. If he is doing the job of removing...

Thought I might as well share my grow with this cheap 900W Chinese Ebay LED I got for $260. First some specs on it. Advertised as 900W 150X6W, From wall it pulls 600W so that works out at 150X4W Has a mix of red and blues mainly and 4 yellow LEDs. Seeds are 3rd generation from past grows that...

Well its been a tough weekend on them. First off on Friday doing my daily check after work found a wild cat had climbed though the window of my garage then though the 3inch ducting into my grow tent. Gotten stuck in there and sprayed piss every where. When trying to get it out it tried to rush...

Im wanting to add a bit more power to my tent, So far its got 1X 900W (pulls 600W from wall) LED. Iv ordered 2X CXA3070 3000K COBs. Will be cooling them with 2 decent CPU coolers I have. I was going to go with 2X lpc-60-1400 but they are out of stock with a 8 week wait time. So I was wondering...
