    Someguys Perpetual Parabolic SCROG Cabinet grow (trying to actually keep a journal)

    Hi Someguy, Thanks for the reply in the 250w thread. I'm liking the idea of the parabolic.

However...

    Co2 during veg?

    Hi guys, I'm onto the co2 too. First time using but its made a great difference. I've read from Jorge Cervantes that some growers reckon not to use it in the last 2 weeks as it reduces potency. Anyone have any experience of this? Rufus T

    Interesting data on Cannabis (Mis)reporting in UK

    Yeah, not sure how you die from cannabis. I guess if someone jumps out of a window while stomed it'll no doubt get the blame but theres always other factors.

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    Hi, i'm new here too but i have experience. I was in the same boat as you. I found if i just had a fan on the inside i was getting well over 90 deg. There's nowhere for the hot air to escape.

    Unknown Light Wattage

    Hi guys, I've been given a metal halide balast and bulb. It looks like one of those industrial jobs with a built in balast. Problem is I can't find any refrence to power/wattage on the balast or the bulb? I'm guessing its 400 or 600 watt. Can I tell the wattage by the size of the bulb alone...
