Hello all. I am about a little over a year into this hobby. It all started with a lowly Dionaea in a death cube. One day as I was wandering the local hardware store I came across their rack of doomed CP's, on a whim I purchased a nice looking VFT. Being the obsessive researcher I am I...

lately ive been seriously considering buying some LED lights from walmart or fred myers or something. theyre kindof expensive but i think they would be worth it. my question is: are these lights good enough for plants? what should i look for in an "off the shelf" LED light for growing plants?

Hi everyone. :) I'm Sarah. I've recently been bitten by the plant bug when I rescued an orchid from Wal-Mart...which led to another...and another...and another, luckily though they stopped selling them on sale. After that I went through a phase where I rescued plants and would go through the...

I want to replace a 60 watt halogen with an LED light. The light is par16 so I ordered a par16 LED light and thought it would fit, but the light fits in a regular light socket and is way too big for the halogen socket. I am out 25 bucks now and don't know what bulb I should have gotten. Can...

BE WARNED! :0o: I just recently had a few different sources send me some various types of CP seed (ie. VFT, Sarrs & Neps) and in each case lost all the seed (or very nearly all at best) to the Postal Machine's "Crushing Jaws of Death"! :down: This hasn't happened in quite a while to me, but...

So, I'm looking to build my own LED lights, rather than buy panels of questionable origin. I remember seeing a number of people advocate for this course of action, as the commercially available panels are usually made out of cheap parts and don't have the most impressive output. But where should...

OK, so I had to get a new laptop and the screen doesn't look right. I have 0 knowledge on calibrating a LED LCD, or any other monitor for that matter. So, before I mess anything up I would like to know if anyone has done this before and if it's reversible? I have a Acer aspire with a 17.3" HD+...

I just received fresh gemmae and am trying to provide the best conditions that I can, with what I have. My choices are the south facing window sill or under Grolites on the the rack. I think the sill will give them more of a day/night differential, to go with whatever light shines through the...
