My idea is simple: as in televisions, laptops, car lighting, led's have faced competition from cold cathode lighting as another source of virtually heatless light that consumes minimal power while providing maximal illumination. And it's cheaper: for 160 Watts of CCFL power with the PSU unit to...

oh, and I forgot to mention the cost: I payed about $150 for the whole setup.

They have white cold cathode lights, but no, they're not full spectrum. If you have followed the LED grows out there, you've noticed that white led's are for the most part avoided. Conventional wisdom, that being NASA experiments as well as other home grower's experience, shows that 90% red...

Oh and I forgot to mention that they're already selling plant propagators for research purposes with CCFL (cold cathode) lighting installed. I just have to get my hands on the new 660nm tubes that sharp is installing in their new tv's.

I remember reading https://www.reefermanseeds.com/forums/showthread.php?p=100448 and hearing cogi talk about the difference between directional and non-directional light. LED's, he claims, being directional lighting, don't hold to the inverse square law, because they emit only in one direction...

I would be really careful with those LED's, and that's coming from a person totally interested in them and wanting to do my next grow with a different sort of alternative lighting: cold cathodes. I have researched a long time on eBay for appropriate lights, and the promises those guys make...

great article, Vi. Thanks for the post.

Yo, 7x: I think you're right about not covering plastic surgery; it's dangerous and mostly unnecessary. But that has nothing to do with what I said, and I don't believe I ever advocated communism. Germany experiences the same problems of an immigrant population that is very much...

are you sure they weren't 4 inches? I looked again, shocked that something so big could be found on ebay--and for growing--and couldn't find anything i hadn't seen before. I actually found a much better deal from a dutch web site for these. I will be doing a grow log to document the...

no comments?:finger: ha ha lol

To say that the genetics of the seed don't matter is to deny the success, and the dank bud, that has been flowing out of the Dam for some time. Good genetics, as long as the plants aren't neglected, is the key to a high class smoke. I suppose the tautology applies here too, eh: good weed is...

All of the talking heads that support something like torture do not actually support it; they support the idea of power that makes a President (or presidential candidate for that matter) say he would do anything for his country; and that appeals to neo-conservatives who have forgotten everything...

yo storny. pictures will hopefully be posted of the final results, as i took a ton of budshots before my computer went bezerk. I ended up harvesting 39 grams dry from my first harvest from one plant, but that was after the water cure. The weight was much less than normal, 15% of wet weight as...

says who? pass a law like in germany: everyone is required to have insurance, which brings rates down. Those who cannot pay those rates are eligible to have the state pay for it. Private insurance companies exist here, and are an option for people if they want to spend the extra money. But...

yo platinum, unfortunately, ccfl lights are not covered in that faq! I would not say that it's impossible. The vegetative stage is a sure deal as led grows with less light intensity have shown; the question is whether or not these lights have to potential to be used in the the flowering...

i don't think you know what you're justifying, vi. It's completely evil. Period.

yeah, i've heard of it. but i'll repeat: aren't you against insurance companies giving away your payments to some asshole getting some life-necessary surgery! He eats like a bag of chips a day, gets no exercise, but has still managed to get insurance, and to the tune of your hard earned money...

I am planning my second grow around a ccfl (cold cathode) light that I am constructing. They just have to put off the right wavelengths with the penetrating intensity to drive effective photosynthesis. That means predominantly red, as close to the clorophyll peak at 660nm as possible, with...

yo med. I didn't think anyone bothered to check this grow out. thanks for stopping by... so: The water cure gets rid of more clorophyll, making the final dried plant product weigh 10% less, but a harder cure? I'm not sure what you mean by that. The process is simply soaking the pot...

I encourage everyone to watch the new osama movie. Am I the only one that notices the very white hands in the background passing a note or paper from one white guy to the next? WTF?!? There are white guys with Osama bin Laden! Plastic white guy sports watch and black suit. Not...
