The baking temperature doesn't matter -- everything but the crispy shell of the brownie will stay under about 105*C, plus a few degrees, when baking. Why? It has to do with boiling point plateaus, steam, and thermodynamics. Far too stoned to explain, but you can verify with a meat thermometer.

How much water? Enough. ;) Watering properly is an art form, which is why I say that simple hydro systems are easier for beginners. What you need to do is pay attention to the plant -- read up on what underwatering and overwatering look like, and try not to do either. You'll screw it up...

Smokin: Highgrade Seeds' Cluster Bomb.

Actually, you can indeed build a solar oven out of a cardboard box and some tinfoil -- but mylar would be better, and to make it efficient takes some skill and practice. Solar stills aren't bullshit, if you live somewhere that gets a decent amount of sunlight and it isn't the dead of winter...

In that situation, we'd have 16 hours, 52 minutes' warning.

Y'know, if I had relatives or friends who needed medicinal pot and I lived in this state, I'd still be pissed off. I'd have no problem growing for them, as each extra patient's plants would add, what, about five minutes to daily grow maintenance? But my fucked up work schedule means that it's...

Aah, I finally found the MSDS. It's citric acid. This works fine for soil, but it's shit for hydro systems that are recirculating or if you store your nutes for more than a short time in the rez. Bacteria and fungi can eat this stuff for energy and a carbon source; that's probably what's...

Useful for plants in soil or some soilless media, useless to actively harmful in recirculating hydro.

At the moment I'd say that LEDs alone don't get near the same performance as HIDs for flowering. They're getting better, though.

You can get rid of them without chemicals. Get a bag of diatomicious earth -- you can get this from any pool supply store -- and scatter that shit all around the mount for a good four or five feet out.

That shouldn't cause any problems, and should reduce the stank of the grow. CO2 levels won't be affected.

I have no idea about the answer, but can tell you how you can calculate it. In order to figure out how much fluid you need, take the internal dimensions of the tray and multiply it by how deep you're filling it. So if you fill a 2x3 foot tray up to 5", you need 24*36*5 cubic inches of fluid...

Depending on the plant and the grow method, you need about 4-6 weeks before you can take several decent-sized clones, usually.

The data about injuries in non-union states brought up a point I forgot to make. A lot of people joke about how someone in a union isn't allowed to change a lightbulb if they aren't in the Electrical Worker's union, or something along those lines. It's a little extreme, but there's a good...

I think that you hit the nail on the head with the last sentance. Stand your ground laws remove rationality from the judgment of what is justifiable. Technically, if you were attacked by a guy with no legs in a wheelchair, him wielding a knife, and you next to a fence that you could step over...
