Proper hydroponic grown weed with pure conventional nutes is hands down, not even a close call, no competition, better than organic grown weed whether in recycled living soil, super soil, KNF, SIPs... Potency, flavor, smell, smoothness of the vapor on the inhale and exhale… all better...

My velomobile came with this canopy thing called the "Flevo Roof", the guy I got it from said it wasn't very aerodynamic so I never really used it. I finally did a roll-down test with and without it, exact same speed! So now I'm using it. Nice and shady! Needs more velcro to keep it secure...

Don't buy more gear than you need because they'll have better stuff next time you shop. Growers everywhere are selecting the best cuts and every year seed makers use better ones to make seeds.

Are you suckers falling for PLATINUM tickets? Your favorite band beat the scalpers by becoming the scalpers.

Roberta is not my cup of tea. Fortunately, Funkadelic are not here to kill you softly.

Stopped at a random porta-a-potty up in the hills between a couple of passes and ran into a guy who was velomobile-curious so we got to talking. Turns out he is a mechanical engineer for a big bike company. He was wearing color-coordinated full company kit, logo on everything: shoes, socks...

I think my plants look like crap with 80 CRI compared to bringing a leaf out into indirect sunlight. I can't imagine how sickly they appear at 70. Despite the lowered efficiency I'm considering 90 CRI when I upgrade.

Arrow was good to me! I ordered like 16 BXEB strips which come from Bridgelux in a plastic tray with 20 slots, two per slot but you can only see the top one in each slot. When my order was filled the top tray in stock had eight strips missing from four slots. The harried picker counted 16...

If you're average size or a bit bigger and you don't have to have the latest and greatest check out Craigslist or FBM. You can get awesome bikes for a song because there are so many used bikes on the market. Nothing is moving, make an offer! Closely related is to start doing all of your own...
