Just wanted to share a recent project I designed, setup and installed the wiring for. I am really pleased with how it turned out. And looking forward to see how the grower does in this room. Flower room is 19x25 with a 11x 20ft veg room.

Hi I really love the way orchids look and would like to take a try at growing them indoors with my cannabis plants. I wanna buy a few varieties and grow them, I don't know much about them. My understanding is some can flower by photoperiod but others by temperature? Any recommendations on...

Hi i am looking for ideas on how to water vast numbers of solo cups. Currently I am doing clones in perlite and coco 50/50 once they've root and then they stay in solo cups for 6 weeks until they are ready to flower. Trying to get a bunch ready for the upcoming outdoor but would like a way to...

What's a good way to clean these things out? Soak in CLR? Do they all come apart for cleaning? Are 1/gph less likely to clog than 1/2 gph? Do you run any products like drip clean? Any cheap common household ingredient work? Someone help me out.

Ok so Ive had this problem for about a year. LED drivers come in two flavours 0-10V dimming and 1-10V dimming. 0-10V let's you DIM to OFF meaning when the dimmers get 0V the light will actually turn right off. On the other hand, 1-10V dimmers can only dim to 10% output and thus stay on when you...

Looking to add either 4 or 8 UVA diodes around 365nm to my lights. I am not really sure what the appropriate amount of radiation is or what the best way to compare UV diodes is. Just figure it out from the mW radiation vs input watts?? I am running 756W@ boards of white Bridgelux LEDs. I want...

Check these bulbs out. Seem pretty cheap. Would be curious what they would read on a par meter. Kind of look interesting as a 600nm+ supplement for white LEDs as a red and IR boost. this is the spectral distribution of these charts...

What kind of casters or bearings do they use for those huge ass hydroponic tables you see on cannacribs that can be moved around effortlessly? Is it a special type of bearing? Is it the wheel size? What's the particular quality to look for in a caster to give that effortless glide???

Any reason why I can't just distribute a bunch of these bulbs around my grow and use 15 mins at lights off to help cut my flower times? Is there anything I am missing that stops this from working...

Hey I am thinking about adding an evaporative cooler to my grow room because I am having chronically low humidity. Or am I better off just going with an ultrasonic humidifer? my thoughts on an evaporative cooler is that it would never raise the RH too far out of range cuz they suck at high RH...

I am going to be transitioning to a drip system and then possibly hydro. So i've started modelling some drip setups to test. Also gotta see if I can cut my build time down a ton. Got a few ideas to cut down cost and time etc. I'll be feeling them out in this thread. Feel free to add any...

So For my 600W build I am use the H series H652D 22.5Vf with a 48V LG driver. I am planning to wire either as following. One way I am certain minimizes the chance of voltage hogging. The other way I am not so sure if it's risky. So would like more experiences LeD builders to weigh in Option 1...

Ok so this is just to log my super budget build of 11 600W LEDs. Hoping to replace the lights in my buddies DE Gavita room with these. He is using 1000W gavita DE bulbs dimmed down to 750W due to head space requirements and heat. I think I can build a 600W light that would give the same light as...

My idea is I'd like to do a recirculating top drip tray. I want to use cloth pots filled with a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite. I want to irrigate for a set period of time out of a resevoir underneath the tray and have it drain back into the same resevoir. Thinking of fitting 30 X 1...

So this is my first run in the room. Since I'll be dialling in the environment and dealing with whatever comes up figured I'd try to find myself a sweet ass mama. The room is a sealed room 9'9"x 17ft with CO2 supplement. Running 6 home made led Strip builds at 750W ea with bridgelux strips...

Hi I need some advice. I've never used CO2 before. I run fairly high PPFD in the veg room so when I moved everything out to the new room with CO2 they were already at near the same ppfd they are getting now. Which is about 1000-1200 depending on where. Anyway plants have been in there for like...

Hey just curious if anyone used any products like this one? Basically an IR camera shoots leaf surface temperature to give you a real VpD. https://ctgrow.com/vpd-sensors/25-vpx-3-vpd-infrared-sensor.html Would be cool to have a sensor that could feed back into my controller and raise or lower...

Ok so I am wondering if someone can educated me on whether or not I could do dtw coco setup or an ebb and flow (I'd prefer this I think) with no chiller. Multiple 4x4 rolling tables. I am using LeD and CO2 and intend on having the room at 80-85*F or or 27-30*C. So with the room being so...

I've been running organics for about 3 months now. I've had two organic cycles but I am having a hell of a time with plant health. The girls look ragged as fuck by the end. I am running many cultivars some fade waaaaay too early. Others seemed to be so lush and greens and happy. Then all yellow...

Anyone getting their grows inspected by the ESA (electrical safety authority). I am pretty experienced with doing my own electrical work, I've swapped panels and had ESA inspection and passed every time. Now I was debating getting my grow room inspected. But so far I haven't let a soul into...
