I'm trying to strike a balance between going obscenely overkill in my flowering tent and playing to the Chinese edge of ordering more boards for my "HLG savings" and driving them softer to increase my overall diode count relative to my shipping costs. That puts me around 9 boards in a 4x4 tent...

I had some extra 1 footer Samsungs layring around and I'm going to throw 6x inFluxs on an old grill plate as my heatsink; but I'm stumped on what driver to pick to run all 6 of them, as these strips only pull 9.05v each and should be ran at around 1050ma. Does anyone have some suggestions on...

I'm so tired of hauling a full 5 gallon bucket out to my reservoir for rez changes! It's only 15 gallons but there's got to be a better way. Anyone have a good method for filling their reservoir? My site is about 40 feet from my bathroom, I was thinking about running a hose adapter off the...

Im going to be vegging in a CAP Ebb and Gro that I snagged on Craigslist. Snagged the controller bucket for $50 a few month back, and then I just got all he buckets for free! Unfortunately they don't fit my transplant buckets, the Titan flow and gro. http://m.imgur.com/onz6gNr Anyone have...

I'm planning to drive 4x Samsung inFlux 02 hardstrips on a 2ft x 5" heatsink with a Meanwell LPV-60-48. Does anyone know if this will actually work or am I wasting my time on a bad driver configuration? Thanks!

I see people trying these new 5000k, 6500k and 6700k lights but I also hear people swear up and down with 4000k. What's the verdict? I'm about to pull the trigger on 8 cobs for a 2x4 vegging tent.

For some reason when I started my new grow in a 5 gallon sterillite container I can't get accurate electronic PH readings. I even purchased a brand new probe and the water is reading between 8 to 25 and the meter is jumping all over the place. When I test by hand it's PHing very nicely in that...

I'm planning on pulling the trigger on a 2x4 vegging COB build, however I want to build another bar for my 4x4 flower tent later this year. Does it make more sense to go with a cheap citizen vegging panel (8x 1212s + meanwell hlg-320h) or to go with a cheap flowering panel later this year? I...

Hey all. I'm looking to do a DIY build for a 2x4 tent dedicated to vegging. I'm really into the idea of a Citizen COB build. Does anyone have some suggestions for what I should go with? I need driver and LED suggestions. For color temp it sounds like 3000k is best for veg only lights, but I'm...

I'm planning on making a little citizen veg light for my 2x4 tent. Does anyone have a good idea of what build-out I should go here? I'm upgrading from 8x 34w CFLs. I'd like to veg 4 girls to transfer into my 4x4 flower tent - but I also want to keep a mother plant or two on the sides.. (not...

Hey guys, my plan is to build a 3 shelf NFT system comprised of 12 shelves and 48 channels total. Each channel is 4ft long, and 4.625 inches wide. I'm stuck on lighting options however, and I'm leaning towards the Vero 10 because I'm budget oriented on this build. Can any of you LED masters...

So I just bought the Titan ebb n gro system off craigslist, I've got my whole system plumbed and I've confirmed the unit is working.. BUT The control bucket has about 1 foot of upward elevation before going back down to the floor.. My brain is telling me that everything needs to be completely...

I'm currently struggling with the decision of what to buy. I know I want to go with the CXB3950 however I'm not sure which configuration is best. I'd like to go for max efficiency in a 2x4x7 tent, however I will at some point likely upgrade to a 4x4x7 tent after a while.. Originally I was going...

I am planning to do a 4x4 tent grow with 8x CXB 3590s on a 10" by 24" heatsink Heat sink is already purchased and I just did a little reading that suggests I won't have optimal light coverage.. Concerning - would getting lens/reflectors help this issue? Additionally I'm under the 30w/sqft...

Following realstyles led panel build, however I don't really want to dim them, he does this because he was facing a huge heatwave and I'm not super concerned about that. I'm looking to run them harder because I want to maximize the grow and keep plants warmer during winter. Anyone have an idea...

I'm debating getting a bunch of CXB3590 6500k cobs for my LED panel setup. (doing 8 cobs on 1 heatsink) Part of me wants to just do a mixed spectrum with some 6500ks, 3500ks and 3000ks Anyone know if I should just stick to 3k or go for straight 6k or maybe a mix of all?

I'm conflicted - and there is just SO much information here, so I'm looking for some guidance My setup: 2x4x5 grow tent Growing: 2x 5 gallon DWC (SCROG/LST) For my tent I was planning on going with Realstyle's LED Panel build however after reading more threads I'm thinking I might be missing...

First timer here be gentle! I'm about to start a grow with a 2x4x5 tent in an apartment. How many plants should I grow? I'm opting to go DIY LED and will get what will be the equivalent of roughly 800w - 1000w HPS I'm also going DWC - so this begs the question: should I go for 2 plants or 4...
