Hello DreadedHermie,

Yup, overdriven T5's don't work I've been told. Led's don't work I've been told. Growing small plants don't work. Oh yeah, UVB don't work. That's what I like about these boards, there's always someone who knows it all, hehe.

C.dot has been a great source of LED info and DIY people. It is probably my first interest, second is aero/fog- ponics and there is not enough of that here.

Plus apparently my grow style; growing using lots of little plants vs. growing a few large shrubs, rub people the wrong way. Seems many here want to impose the US Federal gov't guide line of 100+ "plants" equals a "federal crime"....rather then fight the draconian laws. I guess they be happy with the "Cali" model of "compassionate" care, (good grief).

Oh well, on more pleasant things, I really love those bud close up pictures!
Trichomes-R-us. Nice stuff.
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Calling out to Weezard for LED advice My friend, I've read your stuff here and at Steve F.'s site. I want to build a dedicated flowering lamp using Ledengin 15 watters. (4 reds, 1 blue, and possibly 1 warm white; LM 317's so I can tweak the ratios.) Essentially, a copy of your 4+1 cake pan lamp but built on a 4 x 18" finned heatsink so I can see what's going on under it.) If I were to post my picks for power supply, resistor ratings / values, etc., would you critique and perhaps offer some guidance? I have already purchased Rating: 5
