Weed growers thread

I haven't tried this batch. I tried my first plant though. Smoke is harsh.
I've never been high so it's hard to compare. Coordination and decision making was slow. I was on the computer and started to struggle to use it. Went to the shops and everything seemed very busy, a mirror in the store almost freaked me out. Otherwise very chilled, similar to being mellow on alcohol.View attachment 536425

That seems way too cheap. When I was checking these things out the decent one's were a few grand.

Ye, that's what I thought too xD I won't be using these for massive plants though, and they will be quite close to the plants as well. Just wondering if anyone has experience or would recommend.
 
anybody use those additives that I always see mentioned on other sites like (bud candy, voodoo juice etc)
 
Yes , you need 1200W x2

Seems rather cheap. How many plants you run under 2 x 1200w? 1 maybe 2?

I am looking to replace a 400W MH/HPS due to heat and electricity. I could easily do 4 - 5 plants under that.

Edit: Looks really decent!
 
Those LED's are absolute garbage. If you want decent LED you can go and build your own lights with the following:

https://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/influx-linear/59956

You can build it to the desired wattage and it true wattage, not that 1200W Philzon which runs at 200 actual watts.

You then build a cheapo frame.

You then power it with your desired mean well drivers, you can get dimming functionality to run the strips at a lower voltage for more efficiency.

I don't grow weed, but this is my setup, im still busy doing it properly need ducting and need to get different rope ratchets. What you see in there are hong kong legit LM 561C S6 Top Bin diodes. Each board has 800 3500K diodes. I went that route because i wanted a mix of blue and red spectrum. I have 5 of these boards with a total of 4000 diodes. Two boards run off a meanwell 600H-48Bx2 and then 1 board off a 320H-48B.

I don't have a infrared heat gun yet so cant measure its temps, it gets warm that is why my grow room has active intake (pushing and pulling the air out). That is done by two AC-Infinity T6 Exhaust fans.

The light does not look bright in the picture, but trust me after you look at it for a few seconds you see dots everywhere.

Then if you want to put your plants to sleep faster you can include this in your grow area.

It's for the emerson effect.

Alternatively instead of strips you can use COBS (chip on board) modules, you'll need heatsinks, but these can be run at 100W's each depending on the modules.
