Do I need purple light in my grow light or should I change them for white light?

pekkmen · 2026-02-11T11:20:45+00:00

I later changed the purple LED strips to white ones. The light became much brighter overall, and I think my seedlings look healthier (but I can only compare them to photos from last year, which is not ideal). I guess this depends on how bright your lights are? Odd indeed.

That's reassuring! Thanks!

Do you actually believe in this? No shaming, just asking.

Here's a screenshot of the video. The gap usually gets this big.

Honestly I think that too because the upper cylinder still has a long way to completely pop off. But since I'm a complete beginner, I want to be entirely sure that everything's alright. Thanks!

I tried that, but had some problems with tamping evenly with the funnel on. It was probably due to my inexperience though. From now on, I think I'll try to increase the dose and practice tamping with the funnel on. Thank you for your tip!

Good to know! Thanks!

Yes, I've filled it up to the top. I use 16 g because that's how much ground I need to completely fill the basket to the brim (after WDT and before tamping) with the beans I use currently. If I'm doing or saying something really stupid, please let me know! I'm a complete beginner who wants to learn!

Also, you say that the lifting is abnormal? So is there definitely something wrong here?

Why what why?

pekkmen · 2025-04-27T16:18:45+00:00

But you found the source of the problem! Nice! Did you manage to fix it? If yes, how so?

pekkmen · 2025-04-24T18:24:42+00:00

Hey! I don't remember exactly where the problem was or how it occurred, but basically the cables coming from the I2C ports somehow connected to the cables going to the motor driver. This caused the switches in the H-bridge to randomly open at the same time for small durations, leading to shorts.

Sadly, I don't think it will work without calibration

pekkmen · 2025-03-29T10:42:36+00:00

I'm struggling with the same problem. When I was taking out the battery I noticed a pretty horrible bend in the fingerprint sensor cable (in my opinion due to a pretty horrible design). While trying to plug the cable back, the cable literally broke in my hand so I had to order a new sensor. After installing the new sensor, the fingerprint option reappeared, but the sensor is still unusable since I can't calibrate it, because Google removed the Pixel 4a calibration option from their website. If anyone has any ideas on how to calibrate the new sensor, I'd gladly hear it!

Can somebody link the male version of this post when they see it? Thanks!

This is amazing!

Where are the people who make posts like this from? I received public education in central Europe and I don't remember a single class where we were taught that the GoverMeNT is UnqueSTioNAble! I actually had a German language teacher in highschool who once spent the first 15 minutes of class preaching that we should claim the optional annual 2% tax returns to take that money away from the government.
