For many years now I have been incorporating coir fiber into my soil mixes. The stuff I am talking about is the long fibers from the husk that are used in hanging basket liners and mulch rings. It can be found super cheap in hobby stores that carry a lot of fake flower stuff, sometimes labeled...

I have been using 11.8" coco fiber tree mulch rings in my five gallon fabric pots with decent success. I have tried straw and coir chips in the past, but the straw breaks down and needs to be replaced more frequently than I like and the coco chips are rather messy to gather up and reuse. So far...

I saw that the KS500 was down to roughly $360 with sales and a code. I thought it was a good time to upgrade from the 480w 3000k no name quantum board HLG clone fixture that I have been using for the past few years.

For all you guru's out there, Which of these two options would provide a better veg spectrum? Samsung 301b's: 4k with added blue or 4k with added red? I know that typically blue is the go to for veg, but I have seen some discussion of the benefits of 660nm on vegging plants as well. Does 4k...

I wanted to share some initial thoughts on a product from Canna/Ganai Technology. I was in the market for a 4x4 lighting solution and was initially going to go with QB96's, went to place the order and between adding them to the cart and checking out they sold out. So I started checking out other...

Howdy gents, Looking into a new light for a 4x4 area. Pretty inexperienced with what is currently on the market and was wondering what advice you guys have to offer. Being just a "Hobby" grower I have checked out the HLG 550 V2 ECO, what else should I be comparing it to? I'm not opposed to some...
