    How will Canada crack down on marijuana-impaired drivers?

    I smoked four doobies right in a row of that kick ass Columbian back in the day and passed an ambulance driving test...flawlessly. Everyone reacts differently so don't take it from me.

    Flood/drain - Rockwool/Hydroton HELP

    All of my table are 5.5"'s deep. The top of the 2"x 2"x h" rock wool cubes go flush with the top of the hydroton. The table gets flooded to the top 2-6 time daily between 15-6 minutes depending on local climate. Currently I have one doing 6 F&D's daily at six minutes. Three minutes to fill...

    What makes a THC plant stem stronger?

    What kind of light are you using? Seedlings require a minimum of 64-80 watts of daylight lighting, depending on the bulb.

    24hr dark before harvest?

    What have you, Mr. Stool contributed to this thread other than nonsense? I offer hard core facts discovered in real grow-ops across North America. I need my weed :)

    anyone try these lights? yay or nay

    Check the lumen and spectrum output on the 200 watt CFL, then compare it to a good quality 150 watt HPS, HID.

    This is what I get for sharing high tech sh*t with retards :)

    anyone try these lights? yay or nay

    For another $20 you could get a low end 1k hps bulb. A 150 watt HPS, HID will give you more lumens.

    Dolomite lime question

    Dolomite lime will drop the ph. I use it in hydro. I wouldn't recommend adding it in the middle of a soil or peat grow. If you have to, ph the water to were you need it and water. This stuff will build up in the soil, peat, coco, etc, unlike rock and can only be done in minute amounts if the...

    Pro Grow 260?

    Cool white spectrum for clones, daylight spectrum for veg. Check the specs on the lighting to be sure. As far as veg goes some go with the hps, mh, led, cfl(daylight) spectrum. There isn't any place in a grow-op for the soft white spectrum. Lights are a lot like speakers, they come in...

    24 hour light vs. 18/6.

    In other words the darkness causes the plant(s) to complete their life cycle...like a fish does in a river under the correct environment :) Without darkness a so-called female marijuana plant can live indefinitely in the correct environment.

    Pro Grow 260?

    The cool white spectrum is best for clones.

    stunned veg in Ebb and grow

    Just tweak a few things and your plants will be fine :) I start all my new rezes out at 1/6 NPK as the manufacturer has stipulated on the label for an outside soil grow as per tsp/tbs of nute per liter/gal and I calibrate this in grams as I go. The reason I spoon it onto a gram scale is because...

    Air intake / exhaust design

    I've found with negative pressure the doors freeze shut to the ops in the winter. This is why I keep an equal or very slight positive pressure. This also avoids outside drafting entering into the grow-op through poorly insulated areas causing cool spots in the grow area. I keep an unchopped...

    Air intake / exhaust design

    In times of no practical intake filter available we've resorted to using womens stockings/pantyhose material for intake screens.

    What type of MH bulb are you using?

    I like the 150 watt frosted MH HID for my moms. They love it 18/6 with the tubes on 24/0.

    24hr dark before harvest?

    Of course if we asked Mr. Stool any technical info like what do they mean by TO-3 or What the hell is a base, emitter or collector...he'd know :) WTF cathode now...where's Batman :) I'm the total opposite of a dick hole. It is a scientific fact that you'll require a minimum knowledge of...

    24hr dark before harvest?

    I'm doing up a Sansui au217 at the moment.. I got one channel working good with a couple of new diodes. The left channel needs a resistor but that's not a problem. The problem is finding the correct modern subs or antique parts. I scored a couple old VCR's...I'm hoping somewhere I'll find these...

    Why are these clones yellowing and shriveling?

    You can clone directly in soil with small plant starter pots also, same as Rock Wool or Rapid rooters. Rock Wool is not truly the best for soil.
