You still need to provide more information. Is it growing in a container or in the ground? What is the soil consistency? Another thing, the plant won't burn if it was started in full sun to begin with. It sounds like yours may not have as much light as it could use.

Solar is nice idea, but a 20kW installation at the current $4.00-5.00/W makes them still extremely cost prohibitive. Utility companies wouldn't even be using them if it wasn't for government subsidies, tax breaks, and "green" rate increases. No, most desktop computers have power supplies...

I shoot quick macro through a $10 10x loupe that was given to me. The 10x of that multiplied by the optical zoom on my camera gets a decent 50x closeup. When I want good macro up to 230x, I use a Dino-Lite USB microscope. Don't run out and buy one unless it's dirt cheap, though. Mine goes for...

Efficient? Peltier plates are notoriously inefficient.

Unfortunately, many unscrupulous manufacturers classify their LED lights by the 100% absolute maximum LED rating even though their light runs at a more sane level below that.

Gummo is weird enough to be one of my favorite indie films. :-P

Wait wait wait....the seeds are 32 years old? from 1981? I think it's less about "many not popping" and more about "you'll be lucky if any do at all."

Subbed. :clap:

And here I thought my triploid plant (three cotyledons) was special, now I feel like it's just "shpeshul." Well, unless half of it also turns white. ;-)

LED lights don't pull their "rated" wattage because the LEDs aren't driven at 100%; that's what the manufacturers call "absolute maximum rating" in the datasheets. It is implied, if not specified that those ratings should not be used as design parameters. LEDs run cooler, last longer, and are...

It doesn't indicate anything with regard to the seed being viable or not. It just means than the seed took on water enough to sink.

This is why it's good to harden-off plants before putting them outside permanently. Are the leaves dusty white or is the flesh turning white? No. Paper towels are white because they've been bleached, which removes all pigmentation.

Then who does?

3500 watts continuous or surge? The surge rating on generators is useless and typically listed in larger print for the generator to look more desirable on paper. The surge rating can only be sustained for short bursts. The continuous wattage rating is what the generator can sustain as long as it...

Oh I know, it's just that the conscientious ones never do anything to get noticed.

I'd rather have non-venomous snakes in my garden, thanks. I found a little guy like that right on the threshold of my front door one evening about a week ago...almost stepped on it in the low light. :o I like snakes of all kinds and will shoo them off the road when I find them so they don't...

And not just because they tromp around in remote areas and discover people's grows. Around here they trespass, drive off-trail, camp in no-camping areas, shoot everything up, and leave all their empty beer cans, propane bottles, shotshells, and bags of trash behind. I even got run clear off the...

It really depends a lot on the weather and soil composition......EDIT: aaaand I was too slow to the draw.

You can't really have too much light with CFLs.

I meant that purposely letting them get rootbound might help keep the plants from getting too tall...
