Working and spending more time at home has recently gotten me more interested in gardening and growing my own vegetables. It has also been a pretty expensive past-time given the amount of materials, soil, and water needed to upkeep and grow a garden.
I looked into cheaper alternatives and started learning more about hydroponics, however, that in itself is also pretty expensive to start. I figured I could build my own hydroponics system on my own for much cheaper.
This is part one of a short series where I start my very first attempt at a hydroponics garden build.

How To Store Cannabis Seeds
Reference Article
Director, Joint & Parihar, Surendra & Dadlani, M & Lal, Sandeep & Tonapi, Vilas & Nautiyal, Prakash & Basu, Sudipta. (2014). Effect of seed moisture content and storage temperature on seed longevity of hemp (Cannabis sativa). Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences. 84. 1303-9.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277133135_Effect_of_seed_moisture_content_and_storage_temperature_on_seed_longevity_of_hemp_Cannabis_sativa
How Does Storage Temperature Impact Seeds?
Study performed on Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Seedling lengths (measured in cm) were compared across the following number of storage months…
Storage Months: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36
In addition at each storage month the moisture content of the seeds were also evaluated.
Moisture Content of Seeds: 5%, 7%, 8%, 10%, 12%
This was performed across three different storage temperatures
Ambient: 10⁰C (50F) winter to 40⁰C (104F) summer
15⁰C (59F)
-20⁰C (-4F)
Ambient Storage Conditions: 10⁰C (winter) to 40⁰C (summer)
The continual temperature fluctuations reduced the storage time across all seed moisture contents.
Only the 5% moisture content seeds were able to have germination past 9 months of storage.
15⁰C and -20⁰C Storage Conditions
Under these temperatures, if the moisture content of the seeds was under 10% seedling growth could still occur up to 36 months of storage
However, if the moisture content is 7% or less than seeds had similar seedling lengths
Look For Stated Moisture Contents…
How Should Cannabis Seeds Be Stored?
Low moisture content seeds (under 10% with 5% suggested)
Cool (under 15⁰C (59F)) and dark conditions
If you are looking to keep the seeds long term than taking the extra step to store the seeds in an environment that is -20⁰C (-4F) is justified.

Cannabis Seed Selection Options
Professor DeBacco
Dioecious or Feminized Seed?
Dioecious = have a 50/50 male/female ratio (theoretically)
Feminized = will produce a female plant
Dioecious Seed: Advantages
Have more genetic variability
Can produce pollen of chosen strain
Can offer more varieties to select from
Dioecious Seed: Disadvantages
Male plants will need to be removed (if not breeding)
Plants will have to be cared for that may not produce valuable yield
Will have to purchase more seeds than you need
Feminized Seed: Advantages
Vastly reduce the time spent culling male plants
Purchased seed number can more closely match total plant number
Cost? (Less expensive in some cases)
Feminized Seed: Disadvantages
Limited strain selection options
Can not use the seeds if you are a breeder
Potential negative impact on chemical profile
Cost? (More expensive in some cases)

Are LED sellers truthful with their efficiency claims? How can you tell? Who’s being honest? In this LED grow light video review, I decided to audit 4 popular Amazon vendors (Spider Farmer, Maxsisun, Mars Hydro & ViparSpectra) to see if their lights match the PPE product specs shown on their websites. Which companies are most truthful?
This review features 6 popular LED grow light models from the “1000” category. Some of them might be ok for a single “medicinal” plant. But these are ideal for home gardeners, growing things like lettuce, microgreens, seedlings & herbs. Three premium models: SF1000, MF1000 & TS1000. Three budget lights: SF1000D, PB1000 & TS600. Which lights are best? I took PPFD readings comparing the light levels. The video shows several other metrics for comparing these grow lights.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
==================
Although I reviewed & tested 6 LED grow lights, I’m only able to recommend 4 of them: SF1000, PB1000, MF1000 & TS1000. The SF1000D & TS600 are subpar units. Unless you can get them at a super cheap price, you’re better off just buying a PB1000.
• SF1000: Spider Farmer originally released this LED at $140. A year later, they had added a dimmer box & raised the price to $160. It wasn’t making any extra light. It just cost more. They originally listed it as PPE 2.7. Then they claimed PPE 2.9. This was false. Their Integrating Sphere test reports show the PPE is only 2.5! It’s still very efficient. It also has a higher percentage of Far Red light vs the other LEDs. So I do recommend it. But I would not pay more than $160 for it.
• SF1000D: Growers might mistake the SF1000D for a SF1000 without the dimmer. But that’s not the only difference! It has Samsung LM301D diodes. It doesn’t have a branded driver. And so the power factor is low (0.69). The efficacy is much lower. The PPE is only 2 (even though the label said 2.6). At $100 or higher, this light is simply not worth it.
• PB1000: Maxsisun’s budget grow light. Was a nice entry level light at a good price. Unfortunately, the company has not been doing anything in the market for a while now.
• MF1000: It has more features than the others: Ribbed heat sink, daisy chain power connector & remote control for power & dimming. The reflector hood helps to focus the photons (along with a smaller diode footprint). It doesn’t output much more light than the PB1000. But it distributes the light differently (good for non-tent applications). The PPE is slightly higher (2.139 vs 2.077) & it includes a Far Red diode. But it has that premium price too. If you’re impressed by the features, then it’s worth it.
• TS600: Mars Hydro didn’t want me to review this light. They had NO test report. It had false PPE specs on the label (PPE 2.3). Probably more like 1.8 umol/J, based on my PPFD readings compared to the MF1000 (which matches wattage & also has a reflector hood). The TS600 has a poor power factor (0.7). It’s not very bright & not as efficient. I don’t advise buying it.
• TS1000: Unlike the other 100W models, this LED is a full 150W. So the output is much higher! I was given an old test report. But my PPFD readings support an efficacy of 2.1 or even 2.2. It would be fair to compare this light to the others, except it costs LESS than the SF1000. And you can dim it too. A good value in that more expensive premium category!

There is no mystery to grow lights. You might even be able to use something you have at home. In any case, I’m going to break down three different types and prices of grow lights and let you know the pros and cons of each.
Remember the numbers… LUMENS: 1500-2000 Kelvin: 4500-6500
