The only one that any local stores carry is the EZ model (P4600), so that's what I got. I didn't want to pay the extra $12 for it, but I must admit that the built-in memory is handy.

That is actually a hair on the low side. I hear people complain about getting raped at $0.18 or even $0.36/kwh and I just shake my head.

Aside from Y-splitters, you can also get 65W CFLs that fit in regular light sockets for about $10. Granted it would be better if you could mount them horizontally with a reflector rather than in a desk lamp. Optimizing the light you have is also a big consideration. They get a bad rap, but...

A 600W light is probably pulling 700W total, so 0.7kW × 16hr = 11.2 kWh per day. That would run me something like $180 a month, which would more than double my regular bill, so yeah, I can see that happening.

I think all they'll do is stretch with less light. Being root bound might effectively stunt the height, though.

A week late, but I got the Kill A Watt. Kinda interesting and hopefully I can pay for it in power savings. Now for the results: - The 125W LED light I mentioned pulls 130W. - The 12W fan I am using only pulls 10W. - Desktop PC, LCD monitor, speakers, printer, and surround unit burn up 140W just...

Subbed because your greenhouse is inspirational and I'm curious how these two strains in particular turn out. :leaf:

Jeez, that probably repels people, too! Hopefully I'm not spreading BS, but I have heard that placing a strand or two of round fence wire a few feet above ground will function as a low visibility deer fence. Like one strand at 18-24" and another at 36-48". I dunno, though; haven't tried it.

You want the big clump of soil around the roots to stay as intact as possible. It won't be easy with the size of those plants and it's probably going to get stressed anyway, but it can be done. I would have some mild potting soil and a pot ready to go before trying.

I was going to edit my post, but you beat me. :sleep: I was going to add that it's still no guarantee that you won't get an empty package covered in green tape. Just don't worry about it; worrying won't change whether Customs discovers anything or not.

My guess would be yes.

Contact Attitude. I think they would probably know better than anyone.

A lot of people opt for Y-shaped light socket splitters that position the CFLs at 45° from vertical. I don't think it's critical as long as you optimize light coverage to the plants with reflective surroundings and get the lights in close. Space blankets get the cold shoulder all the time, but I...

Thanks man. If there's one thing I can do, it's puns. Tons of puns.......and rhymes. "Square Cheese" also comes to mind. Cross it with another cheese variant and it'll be a Cheese Cube. Cheese² × _ Cheese × _ Cheese we can call it Four-Cheese Weedza® :-D Remember folks, you heard it here...

Hey everyone, a question just popped in my head and I thought this was a good thread to ask in. I have an LED light and it says "120vac 50/60Hz 125 watts 1.6A" on the and of the housing. That's great, except 1.6A at 120V is 192W, not 125. Likewise, 125W at 120V is 1.04A, not 1.6. :!: Am I...

Royal Cheese was at the beginning of April, but not now. Kerala Krush(?) still is.

Oh, my bad. :-o Can't leave out Gray Davis. There's talk now about possible shortages/blackouts this summer due to the San Onofre nuclear plant being decomissioned. Time to get the girls outside...

No, cheese × cheese = cheese² Kidding aside, a quick lookup suggests that it is an inbred feminized Cheese strain.

I know how absurd it sounds to use natural light to power an artificial one for growing a plant indoors that would rather be outside anyway, but most people don't live where they can safely grow outside. Then there's the cost of electricity itself. It ain't cheap where I live and the baseline is...

I seriously doubt that.
