Here is the experiment I did with different kinds of Outdoor Hydro. Sip Buckets, DWC, Drip, and Ebb and Flow: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/29198-frostys-glog-2012/?hl=frosty   These are all chile plants          

It would dilute the mix. That is not a big deal because chiles take a wide range of nute concentrations. They do well from 500ppm to 1000ppm. Also just add more nutes the next day. You will find that hydro outperforms dirt substantially. So even if you aren't perfectly dialed in you will do...

Some of you may remember my experiments in outdoor hydro. Over-time I have refined the process and I think I have a system I like. I expect it to last 3 years without replacing anything. I wanted to design this from scratch because I'm making a bunch for friends. You could probably recycle some...

Hey all, I'm running out of room. I need space. These are Carolina Reapers. The seed source is pepperlover. I'll refund anyone if they have problems. But, I don't want to ship. The plants are too big and I'm lazy. Ping me and we'll figure something out. I want to try the bar "1984" so we might...

Inter-nodal spacing was very small. I've never run hid so can't say if it's better.

I'm using thermal compound from radio shack

Smokie had mentioned that earlier and I am using it for my current build. It is awesome. Cheaper than thermal adhesive Flat so it doesn't block light Easier than screws Easily removed Heads of screws will short the stars I am using The one thing is there is little room for error in drilling...

To me that was the author's speculation. It seemed sound but I wanted to keep it definitive. I do believe that spectrum is important; but a bunch of lumens, even if not in the ideal range, will benefit plants more than those purply LED fixtures. Smoke master I think everyone believes you...

http://maximumyield.com/lighting-the-way-to-a-greener-garden-a-new-approach-to-leds-in-the-growroom/ Here is the punchline: the best led fixtures and the best hid fixtures are equally efficient par to watt. Can we stop arguing about that now?

I didn't open the link. I was just commenting on the 100lm statement. I don't know about now but used to be the only way to get an affordable effective LED light was to build it yourself.

Unless I'm misreading this says 170 lumens per watt http://www.cree.com/led-components-and-modules/products/xlamp/discrete-directional/xlamp-xml2 I just want to say I would never buy anything 1. Significantly below the normal price for an LED 2. Anything from eBay or some supplier who isn't...

I did a gro log experimenting with drip, ebb and flo and dwc. Dwc was the most work and the least productive. Not a pro just my experience

Max yield had a recent issue talking about a study on light and they found spectrum almost doesn't matter with most current light systems. Just confirming n8 Have you used the cxbs? How do cool them? Any tips or material you recommend?

+1 juanitos Let me give another example. I've got a 2.2 amp driver with a voltage range of 36 -48. Based on that current the data sheet says the LEDs use (drop) a little more than 3.2. I want to get as many LEDs as possible. 15*3.2=48. Since that is the highest voltage the driver provides and...

So when I have saved enough money I am moving to the ozarks and never shaving again. What are the drawbacks? Does it itch ? Does drowning in a sea of tang get tiring? No I haven't told the wife of our plans. It will be an anniversary present.

I recently told a friend about buying tamales from some guy in a parking lot. The friend freaked out. Said he would never do that.    There are a group of people that want their meat in a styrofoam container with a brand name or they won't buy it. They get comfort from it. I suspect the same...

What is consumerism? No sarcasm intended. I just don't know.

I can't watch... I can't look away

The only difference between American liberals and conservatives is the bible they thump. They both want to tell people what to do. "This the right thing to do". How about this "not my thing" " you go your way I'll go mine"

People not behaving the way you think they should is not a market failure. People don't have to behave the way you want. A little more tolerance will make you happy and have better relationships. People not creating exactly what you want is not a market failure. It is called reality. People...
