I think they may have been Nirvana strain but i got them from...
Buy Marijuana Seeds and cannabis seeds from Holland - high quality marijuana seeds (cannabis seeds)
Here is the description:
Pure Power Plant is a strong, mostly sativa, variety developed in the late 90’s from South African strains. The tremendous growth potential of this plant is a prime example of hybrid vigor. PPP is the latest trend among Dutch commercial growers because of its high yields of the highest priced buds. Pure Power Plant has a pleasant, almost pine, after taste and a powerful social buzz.

Nah, just was worried that the ballast and bulb not be performing like it was before. If everything seems ok to you, I'm straight. I need to get a damn UPS. We don't get storms to often here, but it is getting closer to summer time and that means rain and hurricanes!

If you are looking to have power to your lights if the power goes out - an UPS may be adequate though the number of watts pumping through an UPS to light a high watt ballast may fry the UPS!

UPS are good for powering down computers gracefully but they don't always protect against power surges (though they should) - what you are really looking for is an electric conditioner-regulator-isolator which can be significantly more expensive - but you'll be getting clean power with no surges or spikes.

I've only ever seen these used in data centers.

Although once previously reserved for very large installations of 10kW or more, advances in technology have permitted it to now be available as a common consumer device, supplying 500 watts or less.

That was taken from wiki. ;) Yea, I'll look into something, I dunno what I'm going to do. But I need some form of protection.

oh they're available - but they ain't cheap! and if they are cheap - they may be no better than just plugging directly into an outlet.

why are you so worried?

Because we had a huge storm here. Power went out. So, it's good to be prepared. You read that link right?

Right - one storm and one power outage isn't exactly a crisis. do you have a lot of brownouts/blackouts? The UPS is only going to power you for 2-4 hours anyway right?

Not trying to discourage you but wouldn't want to see you wasting money either. I mean for the price of an UPS - that's some bulbs/nutes/grow-room equipment/seeds which may be money better spent - that's all i'm trying to get across. :joint:

Yea, I understand what you are saying. But do you remember Katrina? Or the big fucker that was after that one? Yea, I live down in that area of the states. When the weather gets bad out here it gets bad. May-Sept is hurricane season out here. Money is not an issue....

It's funny how I was driving home and predicted that shit man. I swear I got a sixth sense.

oh yeah man -- if it is an issue then preventing it is a great idea. i have a few power outages but nothing to cause me much concern but if i lived in an area with lots of power-interrupting storms - i would certainly consider - if not purchase a power cleaning UPS.

Flowering for 37 days pictures (59 days old total). after being heat stressed to the point of turning hermie - i am pleasantly surprised to see so much green and the trichomes are forming on the PPP so not a total loss.

The large one is the fast growing Big Bud - the smaller one is the slower growing PPP.

I think I know why they look so damn funny.. 3 months of veg under a flouro and I think they want to flower by the number of pistils showing.

This should be some monster shit.
