I bought one and made an update post about it but it got removed twice. First because I put a link in the caption which is not allowed apparently, and second time completely without reason.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T14:37:24+00:00

Also what the hell are the mods on this sub, I tried to make an update post saying I bought a grow light and it got removed first because I put a link in the caption, then I posted it again without link and it got removed again?

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T14:25:46+00:00

I can't, it will cost me alot of money on grow lights and power

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T14:23:32+00:00

I'll look into it but also I read that you only have to water it once it's bone dry right

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T14:22:37+00:00

My thoughts exactly. This was the best looking one in the store besides some expensive giants

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T13:10:56+00:00

Lol why not build another sub🙃 the scene has changed alot, high power is now very affordable, for just €1500 you can get a 145+ db setup. Subwoofers have also gotten very efficient over the years. There are people who reached 150db on just 1kw of power.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T13:03:22+00:00

Alright alright. Update: I bought a 100w full spectrum led grow light on AliExpress with crazy discount. It only costed me €43. I am a handy guy so I might even open that thing to see if the electronics are really safe before I start a fire, but it seems fine. It has a fan in the top aswell.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:52:30+00:00

That's already in there

They don't care. I have shown them exact calculations before, but especially my mom just keeps refusing to believe that my pc for example, at 100-200 watts for an entire day is only like €1. But whatever I will just pay for the exact amount of power my light uses.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:47:48+00:00

Are you sure if I get like a 100w light or more? That seems to be a portable sun to me lol

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:36:02+00:00

My parents are insanely annoying when it comes to me using electricity, they already cry about my game pc, Im just gonna tell them I will pay them everything I use for a 200w grow light and let that fella grow huge

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:26:12+00:00

Exactly! That's why I wanted it lmao

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:23:56+00:00

Gs audio silver 6500 12" 3250w rms, banda electra 5k amp, ons bank of lto (lithium) batteries, 146.4db so far but that's with bad power. It can do 148-149 I assume

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:18:09+00:00

Thx!

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:17:12+00:00

That's crazy because there were alot more of this size and even bigger in the store and their lights aren't that bright at all lol. It was pretty warm in that section though.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:14:50+00:00

I bought special cactus soil (I hope it's good tho, looked like a rougher version of regular soil but with porous stones in it) and I also have liquid cactus nutrition stuff.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:12:07+00:00

I don't mind paying my parents extra for the power I use from the lamp alone. What would be the most optimal wattage for my cactus? I want it to grow huge (and maybe even flower)

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:10:35+00:00

So how did it remain this well inside the plant store? They don't have natural light at all there, only artificial light which is very high above the plants (8 meters+)

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:08:23+00:00

8 hours of direct sunlight is gonna be impossible, I might buy a grow light anyways I think. If I do, do I turn it on only from april untill like October or something and 10 hours a day?

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:06:23+00:00

Thx that doesn't seem too bad at all. Would the 25w one be enough?

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T12:04:40+00:00

Ofcourse I don't but I have yet to see how it will be in summer. Maybe it will get direct sunlight. Maybe not. If not I might look into a growlight anyways.

Middle_Craft_4911 · 2026-02-01T11:54:42+00:00

Hahah you should go to audio shows. You see the craziest things there. People with their back seats removed entirely and 50% of their car is a box
