A committee at the state level held discussions last year, and it was reported on WCBE (NPR). Sometime in late fall, I think. They heard testimony from law inforcement, doctors and medical users. Every committee member, even the most conservative, agreed that decriminalization should happen...

Holy cow, the hockey mask photo is unreal. Curling that would give you biceps! Can I ask you to add some detail on your experience with the different sizes of hoods? Do you mean a smaller hood delivers more concentrated light, or a big one doesn't waste it in reflection? Or something...

Hi-ho, Shopping around, I find a typical 400w HPS bulb has about 32k lumens in 21Kelv. for about $25. The "grow light" versions seem to have maybe 10% more output. They have a little broader spectrum, but still peak at the same wavelength. They cost around $75. Has anybody done a grow...

Great! Thanks guys/you rule! Just for clarity (should anyone else or you two have more input), I've got a 400w conversion MH bulb in a reflector that can handle up to 1000w, and the ballast is wire wound (not digital).

How's this for a find: I picked up a 400w HPS ballast in a thrift store for $6, and danced back to the car. Before I invested in a bulb (this is my first grow in a decade, and I gave away all my stuff many years ago), I took it in to the local store and had them test it. They said it was good. I...

My understanding is that UV light nicks DNA in active bacteria, but draining the reservoir reestablishes the ideal balance of nutrients. The UV light is only going to effect organisms, not enzymes or nutes. Maybe a better strategy would be to change the res, use the UV to sterilize it, then ad...

The contracts that define ownership of a corporation are clear, but what about the roads, sewer, water that allow it to prosper? More, what of the air and water---how do we capitalize resources that move onto others' property? Distinguishing between human rights and property rights is not...

I think stabilizing Afganistan politically, socially and economically is both in the United States' national interest, and a matter of responsibility for its condition. Vikings, Visigoths, fighting cocks and Hell's Angels? Fortunately, real ones are less common than death by lighting. Failing...

In that amount of space, using a 250w HPS, about how many feet of air should his fan pull through his cooltube? Is there a calculator somewhere out here to use? thanks

Cool! Thanks for the reality check, Fatman. I just got caught up in the righteous horror the guy at the hardware store had when I talked to him about piping my house with PVC. I did more reading after that post, and couldn't find much of any justification for the Ohio code about it.

The difference between polyvinyl choride pipe (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe is an additional manufacturing step. My understanding is that the reaction that produces PVC still has some reactive sites from the original polymerization that formed it. The CPVC is treated with...

Hiya, I love this place! I've been obsessively reading every day for weeks! Just a tip: PVC is barred by building codes for use in anything but drains. We should all be using CPVC, or one of the other ones rated for drinking water. The drinking water plastics costs a little more...

Just a word on Harbor Freight stuff: Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I had a business that required using painting pressure pots (I was reproducing folks sculptures, and the pressure crushed bubbles in the molds)....anyway, one of the damn things exploded. Imagine a 5lb...

yee gawds, but that last 10-26 photo made me smile. Very artistic lighting, ha! So that's a T5 fluorescent in a tent, right guess? I haven't grown in a while, but if I can borrow a quotation---Smoking isn't addictive, but growing is. About the two plants---when I messed with rockwool ten...

The most interesting stuff I've heard about chemtrails is this: They are distinguishable from contrails in that the don't dissapate. Their purpose is military communication. They are a dispersion of a barium compound that allows super high bandwidth, and yet the signal stays close to the...
