lighting

Started a new grow. Don't know much about Hellfire OG, this is an auto, haven't heard any hype about this strain but it doesn't defer me from wanting to give it a go anyways. Question: what you guys think of the light height? It's about full arms length from the top of the seedling sprout...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I've introduced myself, so now I'll go on to talk about my setup which cost about $50 to build... My "tent" is a wooden structure (w) 80 cm x (l) 1m x (h) 1.5 m - the dimensions were chosen so that it will fit through a std. door. I closed it with materials...

I'm not sure when it's time to replace my HPS bulb. I traded a guy a bunch of grow light equipment for some cuttings. Some of the bulbs were obviously used and some appear to be new or at least used slightly. It's easy to tell when to replace a MH bulb, the ark chamber gets blackened. In the...

Hello guys, I'm newbie here, I've read a lot of stuff about growing. And decided to test it by myself. The only problem I have is space... So I want to make it stealthy as possible (quiet, no smell, easy to access) and as cheap as possible. I'm planning on using 30x35x75 cm box (1'x1'x2,5' ?)...

Nebula Haze completed her 300 HLG QB vs 4000k Hortilux Bulb (Vertical Alignment) and results are below: Note: shes admits that no defoliating was done and therefore the LEC lower buds were mostly thrown into trim and that reduced the weight, which also in turn makes smaller buds and lower THC...

Does anyone know how much light a little bonsai cannabis, a bonnabis will require? We are trying to spruce up the office with a terrarium.

Hello everyone. I was just curious about how many watts Im actually getting out of my Gixer LED light. It says its 600w, with blue and red lights. But it only has two switches for the light settings. One for Bloom and one for Veg. During Veg I rocked both just to get the most light. But now...

Dear 420magazine community, After quite some time away and contemplating a lighting solution I'm stuck with a lighting solution I should choose. Looking for pro's and con's of the following lighting solutions. Manufacturer LED grow lights (Black dog, Mars hydro, California lightworks ect)...

Hi everyone, I am going to build an LED fixture consisting of 5w chips. These 5w chips contain 2x2 45mil diodes. Each one of these diodes, if packaged individually, are sold as 3w chips because they are rated at 700mA (3.4v X 700 = 2.4w). In a 5w (2x2) package, they are also rated at 700mA...

Hi, I used to post here but haven't in quite some time. I have seen lives saved, including family members, by cannabis and its derivatives. For the past 12 years, I have dedicated what little brainpower I have left to research and development of cannabis (and now hemp) lighting. I am really...

First time using HID lighting. Just picked up a reflector, 600w MH lamp, and Apollo 600 ballast to replace my T5 setup. Hooked it all up, fired the light with no issue. On closer inspection, the ballast (model # uhps-d600) doesnt specifically say it can run MH lamps. Ballast is making a high...

Dear 420 magazine, Looking to get the most out of the plants that'll be going inside my 5x5 grow tent but I'm stuck on how many LED's I should place within the grow tent. I have a relatively decent background in growing but with this new LED light technology I thought I'd give a try there's...

I am a beginner grower working on a small closet grow. I received some trimmings from a friend which have been under the dome for a week now. My main concern is in the lighting. I'm not sure if it's sufficient lighting and if it is how long until I will need to upgrade? I have 8 clones which...

New grower here. Just a bit of history. I have been using cannabis medically for a year, best method I have found is by making my own cannacaps. (Coconut oil infused weed in 00 size capsules) For economic as well as consistency reasons I have decided to grow my own. I live in rural southern...
