I dont use MH and HPS now, the only bulbs I have at the moment are duel spectrum, they seem great, although I cant seem to remember MH/hps showing significant results to make me switch back.
Do you guys notice the difference? On my next grow I might use MH and HPS in one tent and duel in the other. I bet there is little difference though.

p.s I miss my bong, Im bored of rolling crispy trim joints. the worst thing is that i get high for about 2 hours, and then nothing. stone cold sober. and no matter how much I smoke after that I stay sober.
I cant wait to roll a real joint, smoke a few drags and have to put it down for the night.

perhaps there is no difference, but I think the buds are more resinous. saying that I need to get a new mh for the light tower.

I feel your pain Indy, trim joints suck ass. As well as dehydrated buds!

one that's turned on, boom boom....seriously there are loads fo good ones, and I think it depends on how much you want to spend. I use Phillips, there are a host of others. I guess it depends on availability where you live and / or your budget?

Some pics from my phone:

Well as you know, we all cycle around like dafties in The Netherlands, and recently Amsterdam was voted one of the Worlds friendliest cities for bikes, among others like Copenhagen and funnily enough New York....which to me sounds like locals pronounce it "Yoyk". Anybikelane, I was cycling down to drop off a fairy message, and what did I see, but a Gaggle of Geese holding up the Amshterdam traffic, yesh! I believe they are introducing them as traffic calming measure across the city!!!:)


And on another note, our man on the inside sneaked this funny photo whilst the politie raided the HTCC expo. Yes that is a plant, and yes, it's a male plant. Someone stuffed it behind the curtain of the booth hoping it wouldn't be found, but helaas pinderkaas, it was not to escape. Seemingly there was a giggle as the police man picked it up and the pot fell off and earth went everywhere, but hey ho, all in a days work. Perhaps the guy was being frisked when the shot was taken, seems a bit off focus....haha.


And to end on a good note.....
Some end of year beer from the best brewery in Holland, Brouwerij 't IJ....


Peace, DST

Ill show you all some photos of my pineapple express when its cured in about a month. Its grown under a duel and its some of the frostiest bud ive ever grown or smoked.

and on another note, whats it like living in the dam? me and the boss have been thinking about moving to amsterdam after uni, the UK is down hill from here, and the rest of europe seems to be going down the pan too. at least amsterdam has pot. Plus its almost right between germany and the uk so great for visits to both parents etc.
I have some nice hook ups for my produce at the moment, is it going to be the same in amsterdam? I mean someone has to sell to the shops right?

yea ill have my 600w also in about a week then i can start flowering these plants, curently i have each plant on 2 23w cfls there doing great, I rotate plants
about once a week and am always seeing new growth. I think the secret to cfls is maximising your space like having a small area where not that much light can
escape. curently im able to hang the cfls half inch from the leafs some times i check on em and they grew into the light over night,sucks i dont have a camera,
i dont even keep track of how old they are lmao

I'm thinking of bumping up my 400 MH light with traditional ballast, to a 600 HPS electronic ballast (lumatek), but have read that the 600 watt lumateks were the ballast with bulb-blowing problems. Any of you run this set-up, or experience anything like that? Thanks is advance.

Hey steampick, I run a 600w digital lumatek going on 3 years with no issues. I've used 3 or 4 different HPS bulbs as well as conversion bulbs too. Do it do it.

I wish they made 600w cmh. Those things are the shit! I made arrangements to trade my 1000w bulb for 2 600w bulbs... so I can run the splitter they make for 1000w ballasts. I will have a bulb for each level of flooded tubes... should be awesome.

Well it def has it's advantages, the way they are going with the law here and smoking is pretty crap as well. And growing is no legal thing if you are doing the quantity you are, 3 tents would not really be classed as personal.
the limit here for courts is that they won't deal with anything if it's under an ounce basically. You are legally only allowed 5 grams :shock:
And yes, if your product is grown well you will get rid of it somewhere.
I think it's better than living in the UK on the whole, but I sure do miss home sometimes.....

Pretty funny the talk about where is better than where. Yesterday I was chatting with a girl from Jordan and mentioned that I was going to the UK soon. She said she wishes she could live in the UK or Europe because it is so much better than the US. Another guy heard us talking and said he wants to live in Qatar (don't know what that is about). Anyways, I'm not trying to say anyone is right or wrong I just think the idea that one place is better than another to live is a bit silly. It all really depends doesn't it. I'd rather live in a nice part of a bad place than a bad part of a nice place. There's people with shit lives that live in Beverly Hills and peeps that are happy as fuck living in the slums of Rio.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking you guys saying you'd rather live one place than another. I'm that way. I'd rather split time in Pennsylvania, London, and Lahore than live in Southern California where I'm at. But it is nice living close to family and being able to grow weed somewhat legally. Decisions decisions. It sure would make it easier if my family would follow me wherever I go, lol.

Thanks for the help bro, but this bulb and a cmh are completely different things.
