    Medical Marijuana in Iowa?

    I'd much rather they completely legalize it and tax it.... That state is broke. That is good tax money to be had right there.

    Cutting electric costs for HID lighting by 25%.

    Digging this thread up from the dead. I look forward to seeing your results. I'll probably forget that this thread existed in three months, but I hope to see what you post at some point. It'd be nice to see real world results. Good luck and I hope it works out for you!

    closet ventilation

    Go buy a door from your local home improvement store that fits the closet doorway. Feel free to demolish that one. Just put the stock door back in before you leave the place for good. If you want to be a little more risky about it and your closet for whatever reason has moulding at the floor...

    Cutting electric costs for HID lighting by 25%.

    I can agree with that. However, you can not deny the fact that it is very much so reducing power spikes to the rest of the electrical system. So long as the supply exceeds the demand at the cap of course(and not depleting it on the longer draws). I don't own a big competition stereo, but I...

    Cutting electric costs for HID lighting by 25%.

    Okay well... I'm not an electrician but here it goes. I see a flaw. You're trying to create energy which, to date has yet to be done. In the vacuum example. The extra draw at start up is a moot point. Just because it won't show on your meter doesn't mean it's not being drawn. It was just...

    1x White Whidow under HPS 400w

    With 5x the concentration, does anyone else think it could be due to too many nutrient salts? I'm still a rookie myself, but I've been reading the plant problems section quite a bit in the growfaq. I'm almost ready to harvest and experiencing a similar issue with the lower leaves turning...

    HPS Convert

    I again certify this statement to be completely accurate(in flowering anyways). I have witnessed a growth boost that I honestly had not anticipated. SO I added a CO2 generator to the mix to help it out.

    hps vs cfl

    Sure. I did a CFL grow. I recently switched over to a 400w hps on my newest grow. Lets say, after only ONE(1) day of having it on, I'll never go back to CFL. HPS get hot. You need plenty of head room, basically. CFL is good for, aptly named, a compact grow.

    Anyone know about UVB light and it's purpose?

    HPS Convert

    Oh man, I am simply amazed. It was only on two hours yesterday, and it's got a few more to run today, but the branches just popped right up. It even seems as though it's significantly bushier. Now I need to figure out where I want this home made CO2 to go... Figure I might as well make this...

    HPS Convert

    I did one previous grow on a CFL/Fluor setup. It was alright, I was proud. I started my second grow on CFL, got to flowering for about a week on CFL, then switched to a 400w HPS. I am a believer. I am sorry to those that I was mad at that told me to get an HPS. You were right you were right...

    cant fuck up again

    I don't know about the particular strain, but I try to wait at least 4 weeks before adding half dose fert from seed.

    Durban poison?

    Sorry guys, didn't take any pictures after I chopped it down. It was some incredibly slow creeper(20 min to set it), but when it hit, wow.... I only got maybe 1-1.5 oz. on the CFL setup. I have since upgraded to a 400W HPS. I have a new plant that has just switched over to flowering, but the...
