What did you accomplish today?

USMD =US Medical Dept, a sub division of the war dept back then. The chair was very likely a contract job for the war effort, and then surplused to the VA after the war. When I googles USMD is came across a shitload of French websites which I suspect were antiques businesses. They had a ton of stuff with USMD: blankets, cafeteria tableware, etc. We left boatloads of stuff in Europe after the war

Edit: Heywood-Wakefield was a furniture company that started in 1897

Thanks guys. I didn't even think to try looking up the company, just assumed they were out of business decades ago.

I had a friend who had that happen to his son. He was operated on, got better. It came back and he had surgery a couple more times but now he's stable and very much alive.
He has some limitations, but don't we all.

Bottom line, they went through hell for awhile, but the boy is now through school and college and employed.

Good Luck.

Glad you decided to post this here, bro. I knew a lot of love would come your way. Like I said, he's young and strong, and with his family he should pull through just fine. You guys are in my thoughts, please keep us updated...
 
Another LONG harvest week, and I just finished potting 22 sog plants. I had a rough few months with cloning, some nasty fungus invaded my room and kept killing off most of my clones. I was using Hydroguard and Botanicare's Power Clone and keeping the water really cool, but I'd get maybe 25% to strike in my aero cloners. I started using diluted pool shock (calcium hypochlorite) to run it sterile, and dip n' grow rooting compound. Now I'm back to 90%+ with the thickest, whitest roots I've ever seen, even with rez temps up near 80f! My room is full to the max, and I have so many extra clones I'll have to cull half. That fucking fungus cost me about $12k. Replaced all dozen moms, too. Some were a year old and really tired, I swear I heard sighing as I cut them down. Gotta clean up quick, it's music night and my best friend and pianist will be here soon. We gonna smoke some OG Kush, sip on some Ardbeg Corryvreckan single malt (my current fav), and down some local micro brew stout. Then we are going to rehearse some amazing music, including this piece below that we'll soon play in recital. It is dark and etheral. All in all a good day...

That's a super rough patch for you and your family Inda - Prayers for you and yours.
Stay positive, especially with your nephew - it's very important as well.

Hey guys. what is the difference in a 315 cdm and this one that is 400 watts and runs off a hps ballast? Think its worth anything?
http://www.htgsupply.com/products/htg-supply-400w-ceramic-metal-halide-grow-light

Compared to one like this.

the ballast.

cdm/cmh/lec are all the same, and really is really nothing new as far as bulbs go. its what it driving them that make them what they are now.

those lines you see in pictures/videos of an hps(sine wave high frequency ballast) grow is the bulb flickering so fast the eye cant see it, but is really only producing light half the time that its actually running. the square wave low frequency ballast runs the bulb 100% of the time.

although this vid is about hps lighting for horti, now using low freq square wave ballast in their 1000 watt, it explains what is going on that makes the lec such an efficient light compared to a sine wave high freq


*i used cmh bulbs in my 400 watt for years. better than running horti blues imo

*apparently there are companies claiming square wave, that's aren't so. I'd do some research on that company. Also there are conversion kits so you can run on your current hid hood.
