I ran into a situation where I have an entire empty flower area(6x6 ish). Since I have to veg out a set to fill it later, I'm going to pull out my first ever run of autos with 315W CMH, and QB96ers. I really like to use Roots organics, both original and 707, sometimes I mix em. Is it insane to...

https://www.designlights.org/ Never heard of this until today. This came up in a thread relating to compliant lighting, for State Licenced grows in IL. I briefly skimmed the list of horticultural lighting, a few familiar names. Wonder who is compiling all the numbers?

I'm going to start by saying, I'm not an electrical engineer, not even an expert.... I'm an enthusiast, with a generational background in hobby electronics ect. I've built, and rebuilt, a LOT of lights since I got sucked into this a few years ago. I'm forever indebted to those among us who...

So I have 4 x 315 CMH units I'm getting ready to hang. I have the standard 120V ballast cords for them. In my room, I have an unused 40A 240V "Stove plug" outlet, and the matching 50A cord available to wire into a controller box. Some of these controller boxes have universal outlets for 120v...

So have a new room to go to work in. Blank slate. U.P. of MI basement, in an unused commercial building. Ample electrical capability. Most of the other details as far as ventilation, climate control and such will be addressed accordingly once lighting is determined. This is where I'm looking for...

I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences, and knowledge of outdoor cultivation, as my first serious attempt was quite successful. I would also like to thank, strippers, bartenders, cabdrivers, my buddy who can get really good coke, and offshore internet sportsbooks...

Possibly irrational anxiety is developing, here in Da U.P. of MI. A few minor spots of boytris, on a potted extra in the cage have sparked a cascade of negative thought, doubt and paranoia creeping in, and I can't seem to shake it.... This is my first serious attempt at an outdoor grow, after a...

First serious attempt at an outdoor grow here in Da U.P. of MI.... Understanding from limited past experiences, PM is a certainty, it's just a matter of how to contain it. Enough research was done to conclude that Potassium Bicarbonate is an effective weapon. Products like Green Cure, Mil-Stop...

So, in order to have a fully compliant outdoor grow area here in Michigan, part of the stipulations requires "not visible from an adjacent property". I have a full solid fence around 3/4 of the fully enclosed cage. The issue now, I have run out of reclaimed barn boards. I have posts sunk, and...

Happy Mothers' Day to all the keeper phenos out there. We love you very much.

Had a close call today. Thought process then led to trying to recall the last time. Think about it....

Reminder: On this St. Patricks' day, those of us who choose to partake in overconsumption of alcoholic beverages, are to be encouraged to STAY OUT OF YOUR GROW AREA until sound judgement has been re-established. Thank yourself, for your cooperation.

Immediate success has been realized, from diving into the DIY bubble cloner scene. I was so pleased with the expedited results, I let one spare grow for almost three weeks in its homemade, black plastic coffee can buubler zone.... This got the gears turning, and since confidence is currently...

After much deliberation, I finally invested in a BlueLab meter. I ended up going with the Multimedia setup. Its was listed on BluLabs website as a new item, had very minimal(nothing negative) reviews elsewhere on the interwebs…. Anybody else have one of these? Im sorta curious about the lifespan...

I clone into clear shotglass sized cups.....I have yet to see any issue arise from some light getting onto those roots. Maybe I'm missing something? I encourage arguing, and demand some grade school level name calling.

Hoping for some input from anyone out there who has experience with Mikado from Hazeman..... I've got a smallish sample of 10 babies developing. This is the first time I've used beans of known genetics, acquired through a seedbank purchase. I've read up on the Mikado from Hazeman as much as the...

I've mentally committed to going Organic. There's no explaining why, anybody who is doing this already knows why. I've long been fascinated with natural science. I'm capable of maximum dork levels of gathering information. Just over a year ago, I had never heard of a COB LED, that's how I...

As a connsomate Bridgelux EB series fanboy knobjockey, it brings me minor, temporary shame, to admit my latest conclusion.... Im about to build a new VEG lamp for a 3x4x4 box. I have a spare MW HLG -185H- C1400B. Running EBs at 1400ma is do-able, but I don't like it. I just don't wanna, and I...

Short backstory... I started some gift seed last March, with two potentially unknown strains. The "gifter" had some seeds get mixed up, he had a handful of (what he was told) LA Chocolate and California Orange. I popped 4 of the "mix" and had one seedling, look A LOT different than the other...

So, I figure, anybody who is using this style right now, MUST have above average growing skill.... I'm fascinated and intrigued, I have to know more. I'm on the brink of a new home purchase, Ill be designing a new grow area in the coming months. I'm comfortable with the DIY LED route, so full...
