    Defeating the K-9's

    Instead of trying to give the dog a "false positive", it might be better to use stuff that will screw up its sense of smell. Not sure what that might be, maybe cayenne pepper or gun powder? You'll have to research it. Also, I would note that "drug dogs" are not always going to be some kind of...

    Call me paranoid or alert but PLEASE CALL IT!!! Saw something very alarming today PIX

    A friggin' electric space heater can go up to 1500 watts and it is the middle of February, a time when all kinds of people are running up their electric bills with space heaters because they like to be nice and toasty. Worry about your heat signature in July.

    Anyone know where to get Hortilux HPS bulbs at the lowest price?

    $75.78 on Greentrees but you should look at the Solarmax on the same site: for a few dollars more it has an effectively identical spectrum and a higher lumen output. To hell with ebay.

    Time to put lumens to rest....

    Lumens and watts are not the same? Well no shit, some lights are more efficient than others and produce more lumens per watt. Plants use that light which is found in the visible spectrum, the same spectrum visible to your eyeballs. You want to get some decent yield then throw your charts in the...

    Should I Abort My Grow-Op !?!?!?!?!?!?

    As DST noted, it takes a lot of money to keep the birds in the air. Probably the chopper was working in support of ground based police to find a suspect or they were busting a major dealer or something along those lines. Check your local news for stories about a crime. The cops would surely want...

    My medical records and HIPAA

    Firstly, take the time to document as much as possible: all names, dates, times, and disclosures that you can possibly recall. Secondly, I would take the complaint directly to the institutions where the crime occurred and inform them of your findings. See what they do about it, this could save...

    To all that think they're just gonna pick up and move to Co and make their fortune

    A productive citizen? Oh, fuck all that. Everybody must move to CO, become truly productive whilst ignoring the various government regulations formulated by "productive citizens" (AKA conformists), and crash the price of produce. You can also enjoy shooting delicious animals at long ranges with...

    Using uv light to increase resin production

    Do these efforts to bring UV into the picture really make a difference? I find it doubtful. Simple test: grow the same clone both indoors and outdoors and test the difference. I have, and the difference is negligible. I do believe that the UV produced by the sun is going to exceed anything you...

    Watch the Stock Market tomorrow.

    How about that stock market today? Dow, S&P500, and Nasdaq indexes are all down less than 1%. What a disaster. Sarcasm aside, that after-market flash crash last night was an omen of things to come. If it had happened during market hours outside of an imminent holiday weekend, that would have...

    Watch the Stock Market tomorrow.

    All this finger pointing is downright comical. At this point, there isn't a goddamned thing that any politician can do to bail anybody out. The collective debt levels - globally - are so far off the historical trends that an epic collapse in asset prices - and all that goes with it - is...

    Watch the Stock Market tomorrow.

    Anyone relying on political efforts to prop up their asset prices is going to become poorer as we crash into the debtberg. As for tomorrow and next week, the low volume insures that anything can happen. The machines can easily keep a low volume market afloat over the holiday interim sessions...

    400W Which HPS Should I get? Wattage? digi? Dimmable? Bulb? HELP!!!

    Thinking on it, I once used a ballast/lamp combo 250w HPS in a 2'x2'x'6 steel mini-closet. There were vent holes drilled at the top of the closet, but no fans, door slightly cracked. Worked great. Considering the heat output of the ballast alone, I think an external ballast in that case would...

    400W Which HPS Should I get? Wattage? digi? Dimmable? Bulb? HELP!!!

    You need to verify before purchase because Lumatek has many "versions" of their products and what the retailer has on the shelf may be outdated at a low volume shop. Have a look at Greentrees, best pricing I've found and you can specify the cord end. (i.e. Hydrofarm or Sunlight) What they are...

    400W Which HPS Should I get? Wattage? digi? Dimmable? Bulb? HELP!!!

    The 4.5' H doesn't give you much to work with, I wouldn't go over 250w given the small space, even with the cool tube. I have used the Lumatek 250/400 and it worked fine with both a fancy 250w hps bulb (fancy bulbs are a waste of money IMHO) and industrial-type 400w bulbs.

    Constructive criticism please!!!!!!!

    If you are looking for a keeper pheno, then you need to take cuttings from ALL of them. (Except the autoflower, AKA cannabis ruderalis. Sacrifice that one to the pot gods, like right now.) It is often the case that your favorite plant is not going to be the biggest of the batch.

    Clones dying WTF?????

    Sand: Where do I get sterile sand? As far as I know, nobody carries it locally. When I transplant my sand-rooted cutting into a rockwool block on an ebb/flow setup, how do I keep the sand from falling apart and thereby inducing transplant shock? No nice way to say it, fuck sand. Perhaps it would...

    Clones dying WTF?????

    You have the right idea using the rockwool macro-plugs but you are making several errors: 1. Soak plugs in 25 - 50% strength nutrient solution overnight and this is what you will use to water the clones as well (pH adust solution after soaking). 2. DO NOT SQUEEZE the macro-plugs. Doing so...

    RIP Hostess

    I am a capitalist to the bone but unions didn't have anything to do with the demise of this POS company. Over a decade of rampant mismanagement combined with crap products, the quality/ingredients of which steadily deteriorated, is what did them in. And good riddance! May this be an omen that...

    Fail Safe - Destoying Plants!

    The only solution is to blow up the house. Here is how to do it: 1. Rig an LP or natural gas line on one end of the house with a ball valve of the same size as the maximum distribution pipe coming into the residence. 2. At the other end of the house you will install an electric fence charger of...

    Predictions of the nextr 4 years

    Here are my predictions: 1. Whoever is president during the 2012-2016 term is going to be hated with vehemence by all parties prior to their exit. 2. The 10 year treasury yield will go negative to the tune of -4% or greater. 3. The current Fed chairman will be replaced during this period. 4...
