    best transport?

    Id have to agree w/ what drwizzy said above: When im carrying a small amount 3.5g and under, I leave it layout right beside me, so that if I do get pulled over Im eating that shit up. I also advise having a drink handy because this will def. aide in helping get that shit down quicker.

    Affect on water PH from molasses?

    1 table spoon of molasses seemed to drop my tap water from 8.3-8.5 down to 7.5-7.8. I know when I added 2 tbl/gal of molasses that my ph was around 6.8-7.0. So it does drop mine down around 1-1.5 ph when I used 2tbl/gal. I forget what i used? I used to use Grandmas but switched to the one with...

    I have a space that's basically the same size except w/ a 8' ceiling and im also running a 400w system. I don't vent the heat off my ballast but if I had a exhaustible reflector I would.

    How many plants reasonable in cab grow?

    A 400w system would def. be better than a 250w, but with the size of box your working with Id probably advise going with the 250w system. A 400w system would just probably cause to much heat (unless a good ventilation fan was hooked up) and to keep your plants a good distance from the light to...

    If it was me buying one Id go with the one you have from the garbcart.com site, since it does cooling, heating and its a dehumidifier all in one. I think a dehumidifier is a must for any serious grow operation: They can take the humidity out of your room when it gets to high & do it quickly and...
