    N Manitou trip report

    I wasn't planning on doing any camping this year but you have changed my mind. I have friends and family in Petoskey. I'm going to arrange a camping trip for the end of Summer there. Now I'm excited! Thanks for sharing!

    New ex cop

    Who exactly is "us"? Are you speaking on behalf of the entire user-base of RIU? The ambassador of RIU, if you will?

    $40K Stolen From Medical Grow Facility(Thief Arrested)

    GS, I totally respect you, but come on, that isn't true. They don't water anything, they don't even count live plants towards weight. What you said is plain ridiculous and untrue. And if it has happened to you, then shame on you for letting them get away with it.

    Ballin's new grow facility

    I love the feeling of upgrading. The reward from hardwork and dedication at it's finest. Congratulations on the upgrade. I know exactly how the excitement feels, I just tripled my spot size about 2 months ago and I'm still loving every second of it. Be prepared to start putting in some serious...

    general shit

    Personally, if my resources were limited to less than HID lighting, I would prefer a higher number of smaller lights. Something like CFL's for instance, I would rather have a bunch of smaller CFL's scattered all over the place very close to the plants, over a few bigger CFL's hanging directly...

    Why auto Buds so small?

    I really don't know my LED's from a hole in the ground, but a very wise grower told me, LED's do give great results but anything less than 3 watt diodes will give crap results. He told me that if a manufacturer does not list the wattage of the diodes, to keep moving on to find one who does...

    Ti Smartbar 1800$ LED?

    Yep :) The manufacturer says that the light will fail if the liquid cooling system isn't hooked up, and that it requires a minimum of 11 gallons. They say the bigger the rez, the higher the intensity of the diodes. The heatsink is basically a big tube that water runs through via a water pump...

    Ti Smartbar 1800$ LED?

    This thing can only be wired at 240 Volts BTW. I already have 240 volt power running through a wall timer but I hate the idea of running this thing.

    Ti Smartbar 1800$ LED?

    I won this LED system last weekend at the Max Yield's Grow Like A Pro Expo and upon my return home, I immediately began researching. It's called the Smartbar and it is manufactured by a company called Theorome Innovations. It's 430 watts and supposedly equivalent to a 1,000 watt HPS light and...

    2012 Max Yield Indoor Gardening Expo in Novi June 2-3

    Thats the majority of my treasures. I only photographed the nutrients and supplements I was given. Everything but the top shelf, the xnute samples, the rockwool, and the bucket of stuff, were free samples from the expo. I've realized, these photos just don't do enough justice. I left out alot of...

    2012 Max Yield Indoor Gardening Expo in Novi June 2-3

    I did the same and I have to agree, everyone was great. As for the guy from XNutes, you have to remember he is a busy fella. I felt the same way as you for a minute until I really thought about it and realized, he was with another person already, before I approached his booth. All he was doing...

    Old Wives' Tales Die Hard

    This thread should be titled "Let's create new wives tales". And BTW OP, your having a ton of created threads and posts, does not make you knowledgeable about cannabis cultivation. Why do I have more rep than you, yet you have more than triple the amount of posts as me? As with everything in...

    Plant dying need help!!!

    Miracle Grow is just the soil brand. There are different variations of Miracle Grow. Some hotter than others. Maybe he had a very light MG.

    is this light any good???

    Ohman, I just read through the OP again and I realize you are using it to flower. In that case, I guess it depends on what your definition of it "working" would be. If you don't give a single F#CK about the results, it will work. It will yield about 5-10% of what an HID would yield, and all of...
