    Interesting Thermal/Infrared Info

    https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/13567-spectural-camera.html And this post was four years ago! Can you imagine the progress since then? ORINCON was apparently purchased by Lockheed Martin and of course one of their Lockheeds' specialties is government spy satellites. Danged unfair! SG

    Helicopters, thermal FLIR cameras ~ actual crop shown!

    I was doing more research and it's interesting to note that these FLIR cameras must be LICENSED by the Department of Commerce or the State Department! YEOWWW! Look at the forms required to purchase a typical FLIR: http://www.corebyindigo.com/files/Documents/dsp83.pdf Also see...

    My plants are getting eaten by ants!!!

    Howdy! Here is what I did... TERRO makes a liquid ant bait and ants LOVE it! The cost is about $3.50 for about 3 oz from Home Depot. Very inexpensive and no messes. Ants DELIGHTFULLY take the TERRO back to the nest and in about 7 to 9 days the entire colony is wiped out for sure for months...

    "LED" LIGHT ARRAYS! All about them...

    Gobbly, Right you are! One of the key factors in LED's is the optics. For the record, the 18 degree footprint does not surprise me because the documentation for my LED Array said all the plants need to be directly below the Array. And you are also correct about the many LED manufactures who...

    "LED" LIGHT ARRAYS! All about them...

    Danny, You mentioned wasted spectrum, but I'm not so sure plants see it that way. While certain colors do promote the veg and bloom stages it means that one needs to purchase TWO Arrays if you really want to do things LED-right. I think I read the words "wasted spectrum" at a site that was...

    "LED" LIGHT ARRAYS! All about them...

    I have attached another chart for you to consider. Please see that the 'footprint' or 'spotlight' from LEDs are quite narrow ~ no more than 18 degrees at best! This means ALL of your plants had better be DIRECTLY under the LED Array for maximum exposure. Any plant out of the footprint will...

    Awwww, Thanks for the kind comments, but the idea and most of the joy comes from you. Yes, there is a array of items in my baskets, but I want to see what works best for all of them.

    Attention to all cloners/germinaters

    I want to thank Aeviaanah again for his very inspirational post! I like his approach and now I can see loads of bubbles (nutrients) inside mine. Here is my effort... I used a STERITE 15qt 'ClearView', but I understand roots don't like light so I used flat black spray on the outside of the...

    Attention to all cloners/germinaters

    WOW! Thanks so much for your input. I relayed 'tip up' because that is the way avocado trees are planted? Until now it's something I've not had to deal with so I will correct my original reply now. Here I why I (incorrectly) posted the tip should be UP... These posts say in part: 'The top...

    Attention to all cloners/germinaters

    HOWDY! Thank you for your post. I would like to duplicate what you have done, but can you please tell us more about the plastic organizer box you used? Do you have a manufacture name and model number? Can you tell us the size, capacity and is the box clear or dark? How large is your pump...

    Attention to all cloners/germinaters

    Thank you for your post. I now understand that it may have been the 'fine hairs' sticking to my paper towels instead of a lack of water. I see your points and I will try your method in the future, however, I have seen the benefits soaking my seeds for 24 hours offers. The hard shell is...
