Getting close now. I feel like maybe I should harvest real soon, like maybe today or tomorrow... Here are some photos; if you have a minute, please tell me what you think. Would you keep waiting or harvest?

Thanks. I don't mind at all. I put the lens from an old disposable camera on my i-phone this morning to see if I could get a closer image of the trichomes. It worked better than I thought. Here are a few of them:

Still flushing. Trichomes are still mostly clear, with a few turning milky. I am thinking another 5-7 days maybe... Pictures:

Thanks. I won't.

Absolutely not. The idea is great, and is the undoubtedly the cheapest and easiest way to put one of these together. These are electronics we're discussing; they are dangerous in the wrong hands. If you're inexperienced with electronics or accident prone then you should not mess around with high...

If you're interested in these lights, check out this guy's website. He has a good method of making them.

Hey all, just wanted to show some pictures from the grow. I am still using my Home Made LED light ballasts that I talked about in my previous post. I made a few updates to my setup this time around: I added about 30 square feet of space, put in a few more ballasts, and installed a exhaust fan...

Final Harvest/Aftermath: I harvest the last plant two days ago, and it's hanging up to dry now. I'm satisfied with the results. Here are some pics: This is my Bonsai Mom: Here are the dried roots of the two chronic plants harvested last week: Here is the beginning of my second grow...

Hey Folks, sorry about the late report. It's been a hectic couple weeks for me, with plenty of ups and downs. Overall, things are looking good. A week and a day ago, on Friday, my Caramelicious plant snapped it's stalk and collapsed. The stalk looked pretty damaged, and I assumed it couldn't...

Nice! That bud looks sick!

Hey everybody, I hope you're all doing well. Me and my plants have had had a rough week this week, but overall everything is okay. The first problem happened early in the week. On Tuesday night I adjusted the positions of my lights a little bit, but somehow I didn't realize that one of the 50...

What an excellent post. Thanks to Fatman and whoever reposted.

Sure. I'm happy to share my design. My initial design, the one most of my lights are based on, is DC powered with current regulation handled by a pretty simple BJT current-mirror circuit. I am investigating a new design now that runs on rectified AC, and this one is both simpler and cheaper...

Hey Guys, so I have another update with some photos of the progress, and I need a little advice from a more experienced grower too. I need some advice about when I should begin flushing the plants. I read that the color of the pistils can be a good indicator, start flushing when about half of...

Hey All, Here are a couple pictures from this week.

So, here are some explanatory calculations: For the 4 large ballasts: LED package rated luminous flux: 5000 LM LED packages per ballast: 5 Potential light emitted per ballast: 5000 LM * 5 = 25,000 LM 4 Ballasts * 25,000 LM / Ballast = 100,000 LM I estimate that the ballasts run at around 60%...

For the first prototypes I unscientifically decided to use half cool white and half warm white modules. I came to this decision after looking at the spectrum of each compared with that of natural light. Now I prefer to just use warm white modules, but this is also not based on any kind of...

Hey All, I'm doing my first grow right now, currently in week 4 of flower, and I'm super excited about it. I wanted to post some pictures and show my progress to the community. Even though I just signed up today, I've been reading the forums a ton these past few months, and I appreciate all...
