A few of us are working on maintaining a state of stonedness.I don’t know that I’ve been stoned in decades. It’s maintenance.

And others are just old, and still others both. Like myself, lol.Some of us are stoned and forgot what we read above.
Yeah, I wasn't gonna bring age into it. LOL No spring chickens in here.And others are just old, and still others both. Like myself, lol.
I haven’t tried to just keep going in a while. Ya know what, I’m not doing anything. I’m going to run a test.A few of us are working on maintaining a state of stonedness.
I am certainly not one. 52 now, I think.Yeah, I wasn't gonna bring age into it. LOL No spring chickens in here.
Lights are in the same category as death and taxes. Do not discuss in public.Yea, I ran across a review that really put me off. It’s all driving me crazy and I certainly didn’t mean for anyone to argue. Had I noticed I would have said earlier I looked at them and wasn’t impressed just visually. For better or worse, that’s a consideration. I should just go with my original choice but the reviews of it are that it draws 100 more watts than stated. Not a big deal for the pocketbook but why is it off so much? Not knowing these brands etc makes it that much harder. I go crazy picking a TV and I know what I’m looking at with those. The tent and exhaust advice I got was used and those are on the way.
This is along the same lines of my thinking.The best advice I can give is over build. I tried to cheap it out and was not happy with the results. Now I have over built my system and am crushing it. It costs more then you want to spend but you don't end up buying it twice. I had a Sf4000 in a 4x4 tent and was not happy with the result. No problem with the light it's great just to small for a 4x4 in my opinion. It's killing it in a 32x32 though.
I read a couple pages of the post and will offer advice on the lighting. When starting out on budget, you need to stay away from MH and HPS because of they heat they generate. It isnt that hard to overcome, but requires cooling air flow, and one more expense. Those lights also consume more electricity, making them both more expensive to run and more demanding on the circuit in that room.Hi. I’m brand new and don’t even have the indoor equipment yet. I have picked out what I believe I want and need. I just have so many questions still. I’ve decided a 5x5 tent for room inside for incidentals that may be needed and elbow room. Planning 4 plants still. The lights I’m looking at (driving me crazy) have a veg footprint of 5x5 but 4x4 for flower. I need a step up light? I’ve seen grow rooms with these lights unless the videos are all faked. I really could use a mentor or someone for a longer conversation. I just have a bunch of questions that once answered will speed me alone. My disastrous outdoor grow this summer taught me not to jump in blind. Be ready. I’m trying to do that. I’ve received a lot of help here as far as what to do about my outdoor girls. I know this is the right place. Thanks all!
My profession was in electronics, and I am very familiar with solid state devices. I will just say that, yes, all Samsung 301 diodes are the same chip. There are suffix letters (like "H") that denote the diode packaging, testing and environment, but they do not change the diode's performance or output , just the packaging.I won't say you can't grow nice plants under a China light, because you definitely can; but not all 301 diodes are the same. Samsung sends the best ones to HLG. The China lights are built from out of spec byproduct of making HLG's.
What is LED Binning?
Blog about LED Binning. A way of sorting the chips so that all the LEDs from one particular bin look the same and have similar light output.www.any-lamp.com

The 301H is still the same. The general rule is that the number changes when the part is no longer interchangeable with its predecessors.Good to know. Thanks for sharing your expertise. That article I posted is from 2018. The last paragraph reads:
"In fact, it has been confirmed that the introduction of the LM301H is only to differentiate the "Horticulture" market from the general lighting market. Technically, it is the same product. As we have shown in our tests, it is only the best binning that matters. Special features such as increased sulphur resistance are also characteristics of both product types.
In the future, however, specialized spectrums will be marketed under the LM301H designation, as was the case with the LM301H One.We'll have more on the new Samsung LED chips soon."
Can you confirm whether they are still the same in 2021?
i try to soap( just regular unsented soap) or use bow string wax on my zipper every week or so it helps a lot with smooth feel of a zipper !Cheap tents are fine. Get one with a known good zipper. You can only plug in so much per room. So consider the amount of electricity you can use. Growneer has a good zipper. If your light budget is small get 600 watt HPS combo. With a vented hood. Cheap. Gets good yield. A good LED array can cost 8 to 10x more. Are you trying to stay under 1000 bucks to start?

Hi, I hope all is well. Came to resurrect this as it seems easier. If it’s ok maybe we could do a direct message. I think this will wrap it for me. My major pieces are here and the countdown to dropping a seed has begun. I have decided to get the RO because if I’m inviting these ladies in they need to be treated right. Would you do a 7 stage with re-mineralization, or is that overkill? Remembering we will be drinking and using it for coffee. Yes, the amount of water we buy made the decision easier.Calcium will be CaCo3. In most cases with your ppm it will be high and mag will be very low. IMO This imbalance will cause issues if not accounted for at that ppm
Sodium you want under 20ppm imo.
Don't use any water through any softener.
Preferable with that ppm you will want RO and at a min 50/50 tap/RO.
I'm off to get some sleep but be back in a few hrs. If you have any queations
