I live just outside Baltimore, not too many people are honest about the quality of their product, but the best guy I know sells for $400/O.

I wish I lived in a medical state, then I'd just grow for a living!

Like this guy who washes car windows.

That pic reminds me of George Carlin in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. lol

I'm in the Bmore/DC area, so most of the corners are taken!

Well, if you really are in Cleveland, I assume it's an indoor pool? Man, I don't miss those winters! If it's any help Luger, try to find a place that does a mouth swab test. They only detect THC for the past 14 hours or so. This grocery store job I just got, surprised me with the test at the...

I mean cook, I never said chef. I'm a huge Bourdain fan, I know the difference! Also, as an addendum to my last post, I get paid $7.3/hr get paid weekly and have to pay $10/check for my union dues... that's what you get for working in a Safe Way though! lol

Yeah, I'm at 7.3 too. But I get a .15 raise in a couple weeks! lol I actually love working in a kitchen. I was a food runner and a waiter for a while and it was great. I have considered getting my culinary certification, because I also enjoy cooking. I just get cold feet when it comes to...

I searched the forums, but was surprised to see that this thread didn't already exist! I'm wondering what a lot of the RIU users do for a living. I know some of you grow as a full time job, but I'm looking more for the people who get up go to work, come home and toke up. Not necessarily in that...

That sherlock is a beaut'!

Well, seeing as I never took any sciences above high school level, and never took physics either, I think I deserve a handicap here. lol But I was not trying to disprove him, I was just being skeptical because it was a proposal, not an explanation of generally accepted 'truth'. That being said...

WAIT WAIT WAIT! I think I found something that may help all three of us. And I think that you will especially like it V. Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Units EDIT: I didn't read it all the way through before posting, because if possible I wanted to prevent any self-destruction of...

I almost hate to say it, but I'm with Corbat on this one. It doesn't bother me that the paper is dated, after all, Newton's Law still applies. But his conclusions state that there is a need for a defined unit to measure the light spectrums utilized by the average plant, and then goes on to...

Corbat I don't think that I was ever arguing that PAR was a unit of measure. All the knowledge I have on the subject is from yesterday and today, from Google, and this thread. I found a graph which showed what spectrums of light the average plant needs and uses. So, making an educated guess, I...

And physics is based on math... I understand that. However, I am perfectly comfortable knowing that most of the foundations for what we are discussing have, for the most part, been laid for us. That's not to say that new innovations or discoveries won't be made (Neutrinos anyone?), but I think...

Okay, then I am still a bit confused... what do you say about most of the PAR light falling within the visible light range? That PAR chart shows the spectrum from 400nm to just past 700nm, which is the visible light spectrum. On the far left, below 400nm you get into UV light, below UV you get...

:bump:bump:

Corbat, I think we may be talking two different kinds of PAR. I'm talking about Photosynthetic Absorption Rate. It's a measure of what spectrums of light are most absorbed and used by plants. I think that the PAR you are talking about may be related, or similar, but not the same. The...

Correct me if I'm wrong virulient, but it sounds like you're talking about a straight up comparison of HIDs to LEDs. I'm not 100% sure how much of your post is directed at me, but I am trying to talk about usable light, and figure out how much usable light it is possible to get from LEDs, and...

I did see a chart on the absorption of light by plants, and they had a section labeled PAR, I forgot about that. But really the only light we can't see that plants need, are UV and IR. They don't even need that much IR from what I have read. So I wouldn't say that lumens are useless to plants...
