    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but, based on this, if I keep on doing what I'm doing my current crop will mutate into a group of zombies?

    I'm with the group fully on carbs in tea being a good thing. I am only passing on info from someone with way too much horti brains. He was referring to adding carbs to the nute solution and then feeding. With a big enough herd in the container, I can see O2 being used up quite fast by an...

    Fucking Simon guilted me into thinking more seriously about lowering my eco footprint. Watch out when he starts talking about the amazing results of Cuban farmers using old school dirt farming techniques. Their per acre yields are crushing Big Agro Chem Grown Mid West yields. This from a country...

    Wow. I step out for a few days and all hell breaks loose. I'd like to donate some 90 mesh dry sieve to this group so we can just chill...and I have plenty for Wolverine's dog and the neighbor dog. Shit, Wolverine, that's gnarly. I know how fucking scary that shit is. You did the only thing you...

    Whats happening in cali

    I agree. We were growing and distributing quite nicely prior to 215. The infastructure of our industry is firmly established here in California. Nobody is going to go without.

    Is Cali Still Flooded?

    None of them do. "Election season" is at least a year before the election. This means that 25% of the time, our government is on hold. And, this doesn't even count mid term elections. BTW, Matt, I very much enjoyed your You Tube video on making bubble hash. I'm a dry sieve guy myself, but if...

    Thanks for the clarification. Now, where would I be able to purchase one of these Cartles?

    Clonex...Brother....why the frustration? I hate to see ya get your blood pressure up over a lighting discussion. I have some cured Tahoe OG X Chemdog nugs that could put an end to your anxiety real quick. I'm afraid to say this, but it just may be the best weed I've ever smoked. It's without...

    Is Cali Still Flooded?

    Dan and DSM, Thanks for the interesting harvest forecast. As you guys know, I run a 20K op in Ventura County and this time of year I get nervous. We've seen the same thing you guys have so far. I haven't had the price reductions or order cancellations I had last year...YET! Knock wood. We...

    Whats happening in cali

    Please keep responding. I don't care what you say...just make a good long post. We're taking bong rips and reading your posts out loud for entertainment. My friend, Mindy, pissed herself laughing. What the fuck is a cartle? Is it like a car and a turtle? I would never have fun at the expense...

    Both the CAP and the BB are durable no nonsense ballasts that will last a lifetime. The BB will cast better light on your plants. All ballasts are compatable with all reflectors. There's only 2 plug styles and adaptors are avaiable. IMO, nothing beats a Phantom ballst. 5 year warranty, and the...

    Interesting point regarding HID making improvements, too. I remember when the SonAgro first came out in the early 90's. It was the first blue enhanced HPS bulb. Prior to that, we all had to run some MH in the bloom room to round out the spectrum...or get stuck with really unhealthy plants. Now...

    I think that's a little light on the watts per sq ft (37 wpsf). I like at least 50 wpsf.

    Funny you mentioned recipe swap. I got home this morning and she was laying in bed reading the High Times Edibles Special Edition. Here we are at 4pm and she's still reading some other edibles book. The dry ice kief method is working so good that she's all pumped up to start cranking out the...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    First off, dig your avatar. Reminds me how cool it is to be an American these days. I agree on your take on the shitty LED's. Much of the discourse between growers on the LED debate should be blamed on the producers of cheap LED's who made far out claims about what they can do. Unfortunately...

    My "decisions for moving forward are sketchy at best?" I have no idea what that means. But, you need to understand that sitting on the sidelines and telling someone how to run a grow of my size is alot easier than doing it. I would like you to please look at the thread in my sig. There are...

    Do not skimp on reflectors. I wish I had spent $200 on XXXL's or Raptors rather than $100 on the CAPs. For square nothing beats the BlockBuster by Sunshine Supply. I have 4 of em in my veg room. The lens is hinged for easy cleaning. This is a very iportant feature. It's built super strong. I...

    Rest assured second wife...first wife is thoroughly pissed off at me for throwing her into the deep end of the pool with so little training. She'd probably send you a plane ticket if you wanted to fly to Cali and hold me down while she repeatedly beat me about the face and neck with a watering...

    I should have added that these settups require a small veg room. Usually, a large closet will due just fine. It would be silly to settup 4 HID's without a veg room, too. If room was an issue, take it down to 3 HPS's and add a veg room in a tent. My current grow is a perpetual. We run 3 - 8x8...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    That's a very nice summary. The only point just slightly of target is HID being "daunting". When I started growing HID was the only option. When you purchased a set of lights, you also purchased an exhaust fan. That's about it for how dunting they are. I have seen some lovely and highly...
