newegg rocks, lets you look at a wide selection of items with a great deal of sorting capabilities. not 100% accurate with spec's though, maybe like 90-95.

not too sure on specs (I never trust them too much), but compared to my 78 CFM on my Timer/Ballast it is definitely the shit. I love that newegg too. (I bought 2 should a grabbed 3)

Thanks for that

Dio was my favorite, I have been listening to him for 40 years, his song Sacred Heart got me thru the loss of my daughter and I actually got to meet him and talk with him last time he came to Denver

He was a big part of my life and I will miss him

Never got to see him in concert, but I sure listened to a lot of his stuff back in the 70's and 80's. He was never as high on my list as Maiden or Priest, but he definately ranked ahead of all the damn glam metal bands like poison and ratt that seemed to get all the air play.

It's harvest time in the big city riddle! Took down my first blueberry today, and it took my sis and I an hour and a half to harvest and trim everything. Not sure if it's the difference in the strains or just my problems with the first grow, but most of my secondary colas on this plant were bigger then my main colas on the first grow. My main cola isn't as long as a lot of them I've seen pictures of here, but it's a solid 8" long and 2.5" wide along it's entire length.

We didn't have the right scale handy so i didn't get the wet weight, but I should have the dry weight sometime this weekend if it drys the same way the last harvest did. I'm sure there are at least 2 oz there, but it could end up being a lot higher then that. I don't have enough experience with buds this thick and tight to trust any estimates i can make at this point, but it wouldn't surprise me if I end up with 3+ oz once everything is dried.

Foilage Pro and Bloom also look into Protk which is a silica suppliment (there is a detailed post about it in this thread)

Here we have a difference of opinion. I use Dyna Grow mixed with Jacks, but I like their Liquid Grow 7-9-5 formula. I don't give nutes until the very end of the veg phase when you want to start elevating your P levels slightly anyway, and I feel that between the Liquid Grow and Jacks Classic Bloom Booster that your getting plenty of P and K during flowering. Supplement with a bit a of Jacks general purpose to keep the N levels up and everythings happy.

Riddle- what did Paulinos have to say about the Protk formula? Are they going to start carrying it, will they special order it, or will we just have to find someplace else that carries it?

Paulinos said they would not order or carry it as there was no demand???

I have yet to look elsewhere since I'm still working on the house closing (supposed to get a final yeah or nay today, hasn't happened yet)

and I am actually looking into a few things nute wise will post it once I have the answer

Don't be surprised if the house closing is a last minute thing that happens right before the end of the month. My closing was on again/off again from the 15th until the 30th, and after rescheduling me for the next month they called at 11am on the 31st and asked if i could be in by 2pm. They want to get everything they possibly can wrapped up by the end of the month so that the sale will fall in that month (and they won't have to wait for their commision check), but getting all the paperwork straight always takes longer then they plan on.

No a window a/c unit is designed to be put in a window

and a humidifier actully can raise the temp as the humidity raises

i had one in my area for a while (it was a bigass one as my room is being treated for damp problems not related in any way with the fact that i grow in there usually) and i can back up riddle, i noticed a 5 degree c rise in temps over about 8 hours at night when my lights were off and my window closed.

A window AC won't work, but there are a number of portables on the market that might, all depends on the size of your space. I have a portable swamp cooler (evaporative cooler) that will both cool a single room and raise the humidity level by about 25-30%, but it only works for 4 hours before the water tank has to be refilled. I've used it in my flowering room a couple times this last week when the temp was pushing 99-100 in there and it did cool things off well, but it doesn't last long enough for me to consider it a permanent solution.

Well my latest research has broken yet another myth even more and I'm stoked at some of the stuff I have found. Of course this means more experiments but hey I love that, just not sure how long before I get to actually do them all

anyway, I will write another ditty this weekend as this latest info is about drying and curing and a few of you are there, so the info will be of benefit

I finished my research on Infrared but was waiting till I get the next grow going to write the ditty because I will be incorporating the experiment in the new growroom
