Debating whether to set up the lights and start the new crop or wait for impending legalization.

@shake &bake I think it's a bit like motorcycle helmet laws - after a 'honeymoon', it'll settle down and become as commonplace as everything else. Our best approach is to not make a big deal of it. I'm in Canada where we already have a distribution in place through provincial (think: state)...

All things considered, I can't think of too many other ways I'd like the final curtain to fall. His tour bus was loaded with drugs (and "a green leafy substance" lol) and he was on his way to a gig. Granted he had an outright bitch of an ex busting his balls, but who doesn't ? With that in...

Hey 2RS, how ya been ? Wow - Jill Scott has some wicked pipes ! Gotta love when people with talent don't throw themselves into the quick-shot 2-album money machine.... Been listening to a lot of soul lately myself. I've started getting into some old films as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm old...

I ignore 'equivalent wattage' and just go for the highest wattage and lowest color temperature...then keep adding more as time and space permit. I've used both HPS and CFL for flower, and tubes and MH for veg. (still use tubes for clones). Were I still on the shoestring budget I was when I...

Excuse the bump, but I've had great luck with VSB/North Country. My first order had been opened up and the seeds removed. The package had been resealed with CanPost tape and decal so I'm guessing it was internal theft by a postie who recognized the return address ?... I'm in Canada so customs...

Yep, that's normal. They should start falling off in a couple weeks on their own.Personally, I leave 'em, let the plant take care of it on its own, and just pick 'em up after they fall. The plant will close off the stem so it doesn't leave a wound when it drops the leaf. That said, I tend to...

I couldn't begin you estimate what it would cost in the UK. Here in Canada, you'd probably be looking at $600-800 to buy the batteries, isolator, inverter, switch and cables. A basic 100A Balmar marine alternator with internal regulator will run you around $1000, plus 10-15% for an installation...

Sorry, that should have been Trojan T105 not T6. It all comes down to costs and availability: many people go with T105s wired in series because the batteries are widely available, inexpensive and are often available as surplus from equipment where they're changed out as part of a preventative...

The first thing you'll need to do is a load analysis to figure out how many watts your proposed system will draw. Then you'll need to figure out how many amp*hours of battery you'll need to know if it's going to be feasible. Keep in mind that you don't want to draw a deep cycle battery below...

Just a thought here ruby, but you might want to start a new thread for your question. That way, it will help others find it if they have a similar question in the future and it might get more views than tagging onto the end of a resolved question.

That cable is going to have 4 conductors: black, white, green (or bare copper) and either red or blue. The black and the red or blue are your two 110 volt phases. Just like 110 wiring, the white is neutral and the green (or bare) is ground. This is how I did mine with a 50A (formerly a furnace...

Like Dutch said above, it's the Daily Mail. Think: "Fox News" Hehe..."I can't figure out what killed her, so it must have been the weed." Apparently, any answer is better than "I dunno.." if you work for the NHS.

When I've left them too long, I've cut the paper towel where it's stuck to the roots and keep that little bit of paper as part of the root system. I grow in dirt, but the idea is the same: you'll do more harm by ripping the root out of it than by leaving a bit of paper there. The roots have no...

That's not "music" any more than Mickey D's is a "restaurant" I'm trying to learn the harp exactly the same way. I grew up with prog rock, country, and ABBA but fortunately I found blues before the damage was irreparable so, while it's a bit of a grind right now, I'll pound through it and...

Old thread I know, but.... I've ordered from VSB before and I have only good things to say about them. I'd like to know how your seeds are going since I threw some in with my last order as well. Geographically I'm at the same latitude as VSB's storefront and I've grown other cacti in a bright...

Haven't been around in a while so I figured I'd check in an see what's new. Seeing the doc on Mon and looking to come out of it with a scrip - been a long dry spell since I cut down the girls. Hope everyone's having the holiday they want and here's something to put a smile on your face...

That's the web in a nutshell: people will happily type stuff they'd NEVER say. I agree that it's worse here though, which is why I come and go. I like helping shorten the learning curve for others but there seem to be a lot of people who post stuff that shows they've read a lot but haven't...

I've use insecticidal soap (neem oil is second) - twice a week for two weeks, then once a week for two weeks. I spray everything in the 'garden' at the same time: avocados, tomatoes, etc but I don't use it in the flowering tent. I usually spot 'em when the first webs start right at the crotch...

Just curious but, since the roots take up air and you don't yet have roots, what is the airstone's job ? As far as the hormone gel goes, do you think putting it in the water might have diluted it to the point where it's not an effective concentration any more ? Normally it goes onto the cut full...
