    Global warming. Should we care?

    Apparantly the world is getting hotter and it's our fault for releasing co2 into the atmosphere. People say that the global warming will destroy us and we should do everything in out power to cut co2 emmisions even if it means harming the economy. What do you think.

My personal favourite is "sticky dosia", I think it is derived from the word "dosia" meaning good, and sticky because it is slightly sticky. It always tickles...

    CO2 from candles?

    I was thinking that instead of buying some expemsive co2 equiptment couldn't you just light a few candles in your grow room. o2+wax= co2+H2O. Obviously you would need to be carefull so that you didn't set anything on fire, but do you think it would work?

    Sock carbon filter

    There are plenty of ways to make DIY carbon filters but I think the easiest way hasn't been mentioned yet. Take a 500ml coke bottle, cut the ends off so you have a plastic tube. Then get a sock and stuff it with activated carbon, stick the sock in the tube and you've got a filter. You can use PC...
