These mounting things are one downside to using LED lightbulbs. There is some effort/creativity involved beyond just going to the store and buying lightbulbs. But, once the mounting/aiming etc is put togther, it's like tools in a tool chest. Stuff that can be used when needed. Save the...

As mentioned, they like cooler light (in the 6000k 6500k range. But, the best veg lights I've used was a blurple LED. That created some very nice, tight, compact plants for a 4' tall tent. You'd see all that red and think it's not good for veg. But, the blues were enough to satisfy the plants.)...

This was the day after I switched to 12/12 (night before). They were 36 days since breaking ground. And, I "mainlined" them once (that's basically topping & defoliation). Those are 1gal containers (1gal is the "trade name." They don't really hold one gallon. It's more like 5/8 to 3/4 gallon...

These were my bagseed plants on Day 60 (from breaking ground). They're 3 weeks plus 4 days since 12/12. I've occasionally tested overfeeding, and some leaves show that (curled, buckled). I've been reducing N. This Kellogg Cactus potting mix is seriously N deficient. I'm down to an NPK ratio...

I'm totally into cheap growing. I'm not *just* doing bagseed. I'm doing Kellogg cactus potting mix, MiracleGrow fertilizer[1], and household LED lightbulbs. I'm not ph'ing anything either. Home-Depot all the way! 56 days old, 3 weeks into 12/12: It's too soon to count my chickens (before...

The Botanicare tray is called an "Outside Dimension" tray. It's 48" outside dimension. If you compare it to the 4x4 "inside dimension" tray, you'll see that the latter is 52" (OD). The "OD trays" are made to fit within a dimension. The ID trays are made to accommodate a specific inside capacity...

Just FYI. Here's the two plants today: 55 days old, 2 weeks + 5 days into 12/12. (I.e., I switched to 12/12 five days after that quoted post). So far, I'm pretty happy with how it's flowering. Lots of bud sites. (I'm using 25w/sq ft household LED lightbulbs. A total 98 watts.). The more I...

I've grown a plant with MiracleGro "Tomato" fertilizer (18-18-21). I've encountered others online who have done it. Right now I'm growing two plants using MG "All Purpose" (24-8-16). MiracleGro works fine. Maybe not all MG products. But, there are products which are suitable for growing...

Have you tried cutting off the plastic diffusion globe from a household LED lightbulb? I did some measurements 3-4 years ago. I don't know if I can post the link to it here. (Not sure what the rules are. Can't find any. lol.). Compared to a CFL in a reflector, the LED lightbulb produces 30-50%...
