    Anyone know where to get some old time moonshine?

    THat OTM is from DJ Shorts. He doesn't make the beans anymore. If they were available anywhere it would be Legends Seeds. I think the only thing left is Blue Moonshine but, good luck on your search. I've grown Grape Krush and I can tell you that's a keeper!

    400 watts is the highest the bulb goes right now. Phillips holds the paten for 600 and 1000 watt but has not released a product yet.

    This is the same way I understand it also. I only used a 400 watt bulb and ballast so I'm going off of memory but I think Hawk has it dead on.

    :o....huh? So you have a Hortilux Super Blue Arc Blub, cool dude. I didn't really get much else, can you define/clarify FLOW?

    I actually didn't even think of the idea until after I read what I had posted. It's not much of a test but it showed that the CMH does put out UV light, and it's alteast it's a starting point for you tech guys that talk over most of our heads. If you have any ideas, or simple tests that you want...

    Hey kids, back again with a simple test to back up what I said about the bulb putting out UV light......if eyeglasses tint in the sun because of the UV light, they should do the same under a CMH bulb. I got a pair of tinting glasses from a friend. Outside they tinted pretty dark, most likely...

    Yeah....you're talking way over my head with that brother. I thought about the bent glass and that has to bend and distort light spectrums but I'm not that knowledgable about the specifics to speak on what it effects. The testing that I have seen all said the same thing about cool tubes, unless...

    UVB can't penetrate glass, therefore it's lost.... I've seen both independant opinions as well as real tests on footprint and focused light from different reflectors, I've never seen a Cool Tube come out on top or close to it. I understand that there are set ups that people build that they may...

    There is a BIG difference in heat and the way the bulb throws it. In my cab, I can stay steady in the mid 80's, with everything exactly the same, jand switching to the HPS bulb and temps shoot up to mid 90's in the first 1/2 hour. 80's are an acceptable temp for growing, 90's without CO2 are...

    If you use a cool tube you loose the UVB output from the bulb. With proper ventilation, you shouln't need an air cooled hood. I can be in a space less then 8 cubic feet with a bare bulb and I keep temps in the cab in the mid 80's. A cool tube also won't give you a very focused footprint...

    For $50, is'nt it worth giving it a try to see for yourself?

    New Elf filter really need advise

    How far into flower are you? Don't get me wrong, I still use the one I have but I also know that HTG Supply will upgrade you to a goblin without a hassle if you tell them it's not working for you. I've seen a bunch of posts on other forums with people sending them back and upgrading to the...

    ceestyle, eariler you asked why someone would switch back to a cmh blub at the end of flower. I've read about a few people doing this and it's a split discusion at this point. The thinking behind it is that becasue the CMH bulb puts out UVB light that it will force the plant into protecting...

    LUMENS, They don't add up?

    .....how would a car doing 55 mph be able to catch up to another car doing the same speed? Someone would have to go slower or faster for them to meet up..... Lumans don't mean as much for growing as people think they do. It's the brightness of the bulb....but plants don't have eyes so they...

    New Elf filter really need advise

    If you're sending it back anyway, I'd suggest upgrading that filter. I have an Elf, actually, I bought the combo filter/fan combo from them. The Elf isn't worth a crap, you have to keep the fan turned down a pretty good way for it to take the odor out. Otherwise, the fan pulls the air through to...

    There is a loss of lumens but.....lumans are the brightness of light that we see with our eyes. Plants don't have eyes, they don't "see" Lumens, they "see" and use SPD. Another point on the loss of Lumens is the distance of the bulb from the canopy. Just like any light, the closer you are...

    Seed prices and quality

    in some cases they are over priced, and with others, you get what you pay for.
