    Push air or pull through the lights?

    Ive always thought it was better to have the fan near the exhaust pulling the air through the lights, but my friend thinks it should be the exact opposite placing the fan near the intake. Say one was going to put 4 1000's in a 15ft x 15ft room and use 1 8inch 750 cfm inline fan per 2 1000's...

    THC producing plant that doesnt look like marijuana

    Ok. Heres the idea. We would like to create a plant that produces large amounts of THC, but does not look, smell, or have physical properties of the cannabis plant. My thoughts on this: We need to start from a marijuana plant, because thats the only plant we know that produces THC in the...
