    Too Rolling Stoned Coffee Shop

    Sorry to hear that. I'm hunting high and low (lol, sorry) for a new job myself but fortunately drug testing here is nowhere near as crazy as what you guys have. Pretty soon you'll have to piss clean just to flip burgers. Between my quad trip last week, camping and fishing last weekend, and a...

    Yeah, Jimmy Page and Keith Richards are 1 and 2 for me.:blsmoke: Amen to that, sister !! A huge loss. I dare anyone to try and sit still through this...From Rock And Roll Circus, another great film. After my last couple posts you'd think I'm a rock movie lover but I'm generally not, lol. The...

    lets discuss stunted growth aka "lookin at the plant everday syndrome"

    Yeah, absolutely...any more light you can add will help. It has to be the right color for its growth stage, though - look for 5000 degrees Kelvin or higher to simulate daylight for vegging. Less than about 3000K (more red) is for flowering. CFL bulbs are common in 6500K which is great for veg...

    VTM, I hear you on the weed and coffee thing. Also great to savour with a nice single malt (Glenmorangie) at the end the day... 2RS, good stuff: speaking of great guitars, here's a clip of Jimmy Page from the film It Might Get Loud. If you haven't seen that one, do yourself a favour and check...

    lets discuss stunted growth aka "lookin at the plant everday syndrome"

    Rofl - in any other context that would be so, so wrong...... For sure you'll speed up the growth by adding some more light, but there's another benefit. After the autumn equinox (~Sept21) the nights start getting longer than the days and the sun is at a lower height in the sky, causing the...

    Some great stuff here - loving the ELO and can't seem to get enough Rival Sons :) Fall weather here means rain easing to showers around April...this Sept was officially the wettest on record and over half of that came just in the last few days ! Glad I got my tomatoes inside before they got...

    lets discuss stunted growth aka "lookin at the plant everday syndrome"

    The other side of that is that the veg growth you see is a reflection of the root system. As the roots are growing, veg will slow down. She's still growing, it's just that it's below the soil where you can't see it. Once the root network has built up, the rest will follow: it's all part of the...

    tomtato??? wtf

    Nope, that's something different. A graft would be grape vines growing from an apple trunk. They've been doing it with fruit trees for a long time, like grafting a more desirable apple variety to a hardier trunk. Grafting a mature branch (scion) to a younger, juvenile stalk will will fruit much...

    Oh my

    OK, that makes sense. For a bit of background though, canucks are more used to being told what's ok and what's not by those in power (gov't) than by bending gov't to their collective will. As a result, when you get a clown gov't like the one we currently have, they degrade themselves into...

    Huh? Apparently you're not in Canada then...which is the point of this thread. I'm guessing you just mis-stated your point ? I've got a bunch of booze downrange at the moment and I live in one of the more restrictive provinces :) If weed were as easily as accessible as booze, the legalization...

    Oh my

    You posted this while I was writing mine. What about U-brew ? You are taxed on the materials you use to make it but it's still less than what you're taxed on the final product. I have no problems with paying taxes on soil, lights, etc....even on bud should I choose to buy it finished and cured...

    Oh my

    Yeah, I've been ruminating on this one since it was announced. It really does define both the con mentality and the uninformed 'anti' argument. They are starting from an arbitrary $10/gram "street price"...first off, Health Canada charges half of that. Logically then, the cons will put the...

    Need help designing a cfl fixture

    Damn....that's pretty impressive given the size of the pots. Funny you should mention that...this is from my first ever grow (nowhere near his attention to detail though !!): That one had two CFLs screwed to the plywood top but PPLs around the inside wall would have been a perfect addition...

    Need help designing a cfl fixture

    I measured mine with and without the hood using the output of a solar cell. For me, the improvement was definitely worth the time and money to make the hood. If I didn't have the tooling or the confidence to build it, maybe not. To each their own. You're bang on about the small plants: I've...

    CBD a cure schizophrenia

    Maybe I missed it in the thread but didn't Marcus Lewecke's team in Germany show that CBD was at least as effective as amisulpride in patients who had been hospitalized for psychosis ? It looks like THC might have the opposite effect so the balance between the two would be critical in a...

    Thanks, looking forward to seeing what you put together. Whatever works, man...it's all good.

    Need help designing a cfl fixture

    Right now it's 10 lamps @ 2700K under the hood in 5 lamp holders with splitters and 3 more (6 lamps) along each side. The lamps are various wattages but mostly 23 or 26W. With CFLs, more is definitely better because the lamps don't throw nearly as much light as HIDs do. When I was starting out...

    Need help designing a cfl fixture

    Sure: Those cords actually rest in clips rather than hanging loose - had to move 'em to raise the light a bit for the pic. I HATE messy cords, lol. Right now there's a horizontal piece of 1" dowel that the chains run over, then that hangs on a piece of line and a pulley from that top hook so...

    There's so much great old stuff around, I wonder why "classic rock" stations play the same 100 songs or so over and over again... That Ozric Tentacles is cool - thanks for posting it. 20 minutes of pure prog rock goodness while I'm waiting for the lights to come on to go say good morning to the...
