  I am wondering why you say the peppers grown in Hempies would be "bland tasting"? Wouldn't the taste be ultimately decided by what kind of nutrients you use? (Among other things, like your lights etc.) I see no logical reason why peppers from Hempies would be worse than, say, peppers grown in...

  I am not sure whether I agree with that, and the article about PAR says actually the exact opposite as well.   This clearly says that reds cause the highest amount of photosynthesis.   Yes, I only have experience with growing "medical plants", there the common understanding was that cooler...

Hempy buckets are AWESOME and I can highly recommend them. I just started a sh!tload.   In my case, a "real" Hydro system with a tank would not be viable. It's scorching hot where I am, the water would still go bad and grow all kinds of stuff. Worse, I would not have an easy way to exchange 125L...

TBH I strongly think MH, GalaxyH and tons of similar are all essentially the same. There is just two or three LED manufactures for the small (red, blue, white) LEDs, Epiled, Epistar etc...the rest is the board and the drivers, there is really not much difference with those lights.   9500...

  I don't think it is easy (if at all possible) to calculate PPFD of those budget LEDs like MH Or Galaxy. Each of the LEDs, white, reds, blues has slightly different specs. So you would have to add them all together to come to an actual "lumen output" of the entire fixture.   I have a LED which...

I planted way too much seedlings earlier this year, now I have about 30, just Jalepenos and Serranos, in addition to my 15 or so plants from last year :) (90% of them survived, so they're actually growing peppers right now again...earlier this year I actually thought they'd be dead)   I decided...

  Coming back to this always great thread.   I am also experimenting with ProMix and at THIS very point I can't say anything yet about the "performance" of Promix (the Plagron one, unfertilized) compared to a real hydro setup.   WHAT struck me however is that Promix, out of the bag doesn't...

  Yup, one of the four mouser had. I am sorta regretting it since it was €82, but then again it's good to know I could run them at 1750mA.   Now I am in the "bizarre" situation that I have a) not enough and b) too much light all at the same time.   From what I researched, the 653-700 PPFD is too...

Ok I calculated 653 PPFD for my area, using the formulas and the lumens from the CREE tool. I guess this is "ok"?   I am glad I got the lenses, they really make the light look "professional". Without the lenses, the light looks VERY "DIY", basically just a 90cm heatsink and the COBs mounted on...

Hey, nice thread!   I JUST happen to get me pretty much a similar light w/ 4x CREE CXB3590 36V 3500K CD bin although I got me the 1750mA Meanwell driver. I have the A version with the small internal dimmer, I am driving the lights currently estimated at 1600mA, about 80% using the dimmer.     I...

Hello!   I am growing Jalapenos and Seranos in a greenhouse in Spain w/ 2x 300W LED lights. I am new to chilly growing.   However, those I grow from seed are not actually my problem.   We also bought a (mature) pepper plant from a store around the corner. First, we have no idea what pepper this...
