In my room everything comes down around 8 weeks. If all my strains arent close enough it throws off the perpetual. Ive got some engineers dream that im going to be putting on the floor of my room next go round. If it wasnt from BB then it wouldnt be worth the hassle. im hoping to have a few EDs OD next year, so they can hang around. But 8 week strains are my thang, and like jig said, some can be cut at 7 weeks with bushmaster.


Doobie, I could never be a vegetarian. that looks too tasty. im a meat and potatoes kind of guy too. ive got a buddy with a big steak tatooed on one bicep and a big potato wth butter on the other.

my first car was an 85 chrysler laser, it was my lil' knight rider. i treated that car like a red headed step child, ended up putting a hole in the tranny. i bought a 85 pontiac trans am years later (after i bought my 86 pontiac fiero). ive still got the trans am, its a sentimental thing between me and the wife. im only the second owner too. loves me some american muscle.

heres a pic of a laser, but not my laser.

While we are on the subject of first cars,
Mine was a 1986 Hyundai Excel hatchback, that I paid $800 for back in 1999.

Lasted me a good while till i rolled it across 5 lanes of the 15 freeway. Walked away from that accident with barely a scratch on my arm, so I count myself lucky!!

I jumped the Laser almost every day, and thats no joke. My buddy from high school still has a video of me jumping it in an underground parking lot. There was water on the ground and the headlights reflected off the puddles adding to the visuals, and the exhaust sounded amazing down there, I got about 3' of air and came about 1' from slamming into a wall. I rallyed it alot, one day I ended up with the ass end off a hill and the radio in my lap. Im not sure how I ever survived my first car, or any car I had until I was married. Marriage has kept all the wheels on the ground, but it hasnt slowed them down.

My first car, hit a deer going 50mph. Killed the deer, didn't dent the Riv.

The Boat tail was awesome, weighed a ton. Got about 10MPG, sounded like a pig. Factory leather and paint. Wish I had pictures, it was a great ride.

Lets see, My 1st catr was a 77 buick regal. t was primarily green, but had about 4 other colors too...lol mostly different primers. It had the olds 350 in it. I crashed that car 4 times the 1st month!! The worst was on a rainy day, a friend of mine and I were in the car we were at a red light turning left. I floored it in neutral, when the light went green I dropped it on drive. We sat there spinn9jg for a minute then launched around the corner, before I knew it was happening the right rear passed us up. This is my 1st month of driving, so I reacted wrong ended up spinning like a teacup rideuntil we hit a parked Okds Delta 88. Hit it so hard it was at the front door of the owners house. Next thing I knew I was being strangled by some guy as old as I am now. I ws still seat belted and couldnt defens myself. My friend threw his Big-Mac in his face...lol. The guy stopped killing me and apologized. I had insurance after all.
Since then I have had sooooo many cars and mini trucks. One of my favorites was my89 mustang gt, 5 spd with heads cam and a bunch of other shit upgraded when I bought it. I added intake and exhaust and and being (Bassman) a pounding system. By then I was a mad-racer and could control any car and had the time of my life in that car. I replaced tires about every 2 weeks, and 2 clutches. Lets see b4 the mustang U had a 91 prelude SI, I put 100 shot of nitrous in her, that was crazy, she would smoke both fronts till 85 mph!!

haha, my first car was an '88 Oldsmobile Cutlass my father gifted me for Christmas. Got a block down the road and the muffler fell off. Got home, and the Alternator belt broke off... while fixing it... i threw a jack through the rear window. (long story) I drove that beast around, with no exhaust and no back window til I got pulled over by cops almost 6 months later! they thought the vehicle was stolen. I raced the damned thing all over, and even beat a '99 Corvette (guy trashed his tranny racing me) and an '01 Plymouth Prowler ( think it was an automatic, he couldn't keep up!) It was a badass car... for being a piece of shyt. When it got impounded I let them keep it... and replaced it with a '90 Chevy Astrovan I dubbed "Ol' Smokey". you could drive a mile behind me, and still be in my smoke cloud. LoL. But I raced that one too... and spun it, flipped it four times, and left it... somewhere in a ditch near Dundee, Mi. Never had very good luck with cars, just like strictly, I have a problem with speed and control. LoL...

I am sooo old when I 1st started to drive cas was for reg unleaded only 88 cents


I wimped out and had the shop replace the clutch. It took them over 3 hrs, and they started as soon as I got there!! They had only 2 cars and 3 mechanics...lol so they weren't neglecting it either as they close at 5 and it was 1:30 when I dropped it off. If I had more time to get it done I prolly would have finished doing it myself. Wife missed a day of work, and we need the money........We ssoooo over-spent on x-mas!!

I would say this is very close to a power conditioner or line conditioner.
It would use capacitors (or a high capacity battery) to temporarily store electricity until needed by something attached to it (light, fan, etc).
The claim is it provides more efficient power to appliances that utilize electric motors (A/C motors, refrigerator cooling pump motors, air pump motors for HVAC systems, washing machines & clothes dryers, etc).
And they claim it also acts as a line conditioner, and help keep the voltage steady in houses with old or bad wiring, or that are in areas with not so reliable power service (brown outs & spikes).

Not sure it something like that would work very well for a HPS/mH light, but it might work close to as advertised when used for motor-driven devices (fans, water pumps, etc).
That would need a lot of research on the internet to sift through hype and find out if it works, how well it works, and in what circumstances.
