why some people think that 250-400 watts are something to worry about. a fuckin computer is 450-600 watts minimum and i don't think anybody shut down his computer because of the fuckin' electric bill. Just a thought
Real ignorant statement man, computers dont run at the PSU rating unless thats how many volts are needed due to equipment, almost all are powersaving, as in bios or windows setting shutting down the cpu, ram, hd, so on to use lower voltages then the norm 12v 5v 3.v and so on, I have a 1000w PSU in mine with massive powereating equipment its always on, runs on an apc doesnt effect electric bill because your devices run all on certain voltages which are standard, the more your putting on your computer the harder hardware has to work the more information is flowing the more power the PSU puts out PSU's are regulated Using a 1000w at 12/12 is pulling 1000w 12 hours per day steady it hits your electric bill pretty big, you buy equipment associated with hydroponics online or pay with card in store its connected to you, and flagged, your powerbill is then watched for a major fluctuation. You gotta remmember the government is moving towards "cyber security at a higher rate, cyber security means more watching on what people are buying and doin online. And they dont have to pick you out individually, you know how a Enterprise System works? what is is and what its for? a company keeps track of every order, every card, every customer name and what they ordered, automatically orders supplies once inventory runs low there is all kind of software suites CMS IMS ECS MCS UAM etc etc etc. This is all within an enterprise network setup.
So keing your electic bill low is crucial, buy from a mom and pop shop if it costs more money, DONT TELL ANYONE YOUR GROWING, DONT SHOW ANYONE YOUR GROW AREA EVER EVER EVER. The government pays people and places them in alot of forums to pose and they ar egood usually become very respected people and very trusted. They aint there to learn about growing or anything else they already know more then most people or as much as the best people in the forum. Order your growlights and euipment, let your bill spike youll be flagged BUT thats fine just never ever give the a reason to get a warrant and with this whole cybersecurity thing going to congress and being looked over be very carefull what you say on the net, just like conversations are flagged and recorded in a huge database which the program was started back in the 50's its expanded into the internet realm.
Marijuana is on an upswing right now and thats a good thing, and politically they really have no choice but to decriminilize and start by adding more medical states, then move to decrim and eventually open market because the catch 22 marijuana tax can be disbanded and they can just actually tax it for real. That day will come if the economy continues to go the way it is, jails crowded with pot and minor drug convictions. Anyways i trailed off.
LED = CHEAP technology getting cheaper everyday I use combo, but where LED's really make a big impact is the blue led high power pannels whenever budding starts thats the tie to hit the plant with alot of blue end spectrum it promotes budding and is one of the major spectrums used by the plant during budding I wrote a small guide called "The Blue end of the Spectrum" I have a Masters in sciencew/ majors in Biotechnics and Computer Security/forensics. For my thesis for my bBiotechnic masters thats hte name of the thesis i wrote. I did the study while working internship at a pharmeceuticl company, they allowed me to do the study to write my thesis which i plan on using the same for the end of my doctorate. What i wrote was more of a doctoral thesis and proof then a required masters essay. I did quiet a bit of biological study in the growth of buddy but not only that the producing of the Tri's and the actual THC content withen the Tri's through Thin Layer and Gas DHP Chromotography i found that the thc production on the microgram level was at 99.999% pure within the Tri's TLC extracted from the Tri structure itself was 99.769%
THC extratred from around the actual capillary pathways within the leaves was about 94% pure this was under ideal blue spectrum absorbtion for the breed which was totaally Sativa, as i was comparing differences between indica pure bread and sativa pure bread, also sativa pure breed makes more use of blu ray during pre-budding and budding
With HPLC w/ Blue fluro's of the equivilent and showed the same order of total purity in microgram of 98.962%, 98,434%, 90% Respective to the above percentages
The yeilds of the actual bud was increased under led blue light by 46% and under blue floro bud production was increased by 25%
the essay is "The Blue End of the Spectrum i posted to the net and many forums back when i wrote it under the author name BiotechFRK"
The essay has been edited as it is a uinique idea and alot of the things i did, and an ultimate discovery which was made that is very substantial is not within the essay the essay its just a trimmed down version close to the one i turned in for my Masters the full essay will be used for my doctorate as it is an "original idea/discovery"
The essay does contain specifics for growers to help on yeild and compound purity of both THC and its two constituants. Also using the trichome chrystals i wrote a simple way to check strength (purity) of your plants prodution by a simple to make reagent matching color change then adding an easy to get chemical and then using a ph checker to check the ph value but it has to check values to the -3 dec of PH. This can tell you how good that run of the mill stuff that floats around $10-$25g depending on where you live and that bad ass shit that has made up names by posers or real names of breed by the good sells that runs about $5-$15more per G than the regular mentioned above depending on where your at and who ur ehem giving to or getting from.
If your spending the money and taking the time and TLC towards the beutifull plants that are many hybrids of the sativa majority (my most favorite) or the hybrids of the more indica majority (not my favorite) but both types pure indica or sativa, strainds or hybrid 50/50 or leaning towards one breed to the other. If you really care keep whats going on in politics in mind with cyber security, try to get the most bang for the buck and using LED's your gonna save money no matter what
During the bio study done if the regular LED's & blue LEDS(during bud time) made such a big difference and the plants also seemed to like the type of light put out by the LED's a variable that we cant really measure that they liked, maybe somthing about light quality so many variables can effect biology of any living organisms .
I wish i was still on internmanship at that lab. I have always liked Sodium bulbs and used fluro blue arrays during budding, but now with full spectrum LED's available and relatively WAY LONGER LASTING without lumens degredation , as well as much cheaper on electricity, LED's are in my study proved the factual basis of they pay for theirselves in both yeild and quality of output as long as you stay on top of your organics or hyro mixtures ratios. If your gonna stay with HPS anyways PLEASE during buddying at least add a decent blue led panel size depending on the wattage of Sodium bulb keep on top of your hydro nutrient ratios and mixtures for budding and keep it nice and steady with extremely hydrated hydro, airate the tank, but also if your have a pipping system its a good idea to drill holes 2 inches from pot and rig up a pressurized nozzle near each pot inlet that can produce a very fine mist out of the nozzle. A big air pump for bigger aquariums with enough outlets to go to each each jet you place next to pot (if your doing enough growing you may have to use mroe pumps and tubing obviously) but the basis is u wants pressurized puped water through the nozzle that can produce a super fine mist, but also within the hose you want to extend the clear air hose from the air pump into the water tube going to the mister, and have the end of the tube pumping air pushed up against the nozzle and then pull it back a little bit. there is nothing like a custom built 10" diameter flow system with misting near roots an strait air injection into the water going straight throug the misting nozzle. Trick is to find just the right nozzle that doesnt stick in to far and of course keep everything very very light tight.
"Blue end of the Spectrum" by me under my forum name t the time at whateve forum i was in BiotechFRK (I had sudden death attack due to long qt event that turned into a vfib was dead for 6 minutes ems brought me back died in ambulance again they brought me back, was in coma for a week doctors gave me 5% chance of waking up, i did obviously it was foiund out i have rare geneti strain of Long QT Syndrome so they installed a deffibulator/pacemaker) This happened right after i finished my Biotechnnology masters. I have brain damage short term memory totally sucks baaaddd, ut i still got that growin knowledge from a second nature hobby, unfortunately i forgot alot of my biotechnology stuff i had learned near the end courses of y masters so i have a lab at the house ive spent alot of money on (ran my own escort business for Oversized loads while i was in school) made alot of money doing that ALOT pluss other ways. But lost business due to being in hospital fo 3 months and my major disabilities. If anyone wants to discuss poppy gworth lemme know its totally legal to grow poppies aint that great, it just aint legal to extract the milk for the all important codeine and "the baine" constituants, Opium. You be suprised what you can make with general knowledge of organic chemistry and ragular chemistry procedures. and ebay is a goldmine of equipment who needs the 1500 dollar magnetic stirrer/hotplate 10x10 when you can get the smae one on eba a little used but working perfectly for 100 bucks. Samething with Rotovapes, water baths with 4 pools 6 pools whatever, chryotanks, heating mantles, chem glass such as distillation supplies. diaphram vacuum/compression pump,
awesome for vacuum distillation, dessication (cheap on ebay even brand new) some incubator shakers that reuire neg atmosphere, etc etc etc. Most chemicals legal anyone can buy and not watched or controlled, watched ones, can be made easily from oens that arent and controlled ones can be made from the watched ones your made with ones that arent watched. I love Biotechnology, but pharmeceutical chemistry mostly organics pharmeceutical chemistry is me passion.
I dont think all of the flaming on this site is helpfull in any form. Just good advice would befar more helpfull. I read through the led ¬experiment¬ pages and they do make sense. At a price.
