If you post some pics we MIGHT be able to tell ya if they are any good or not. Chances are that they are OK. It's kinda hard to kill a magnetic ballast.

Well, thanx to all here on RIU, my first grow was a sucess, so here goes round 2. I germinated 24 seeds, and 22 out of 24 sprouted. Here they are under the floros until they are big enough to transplant and start the veg stage: In a couple of weeks I'll transplant them into thier permanent...

And that 215 cfm free air is for an 8in fan, moving air thru a smooth 8in duct. ANY resistance whatsoever will drastically reduce the cfm it will move. I'd say they'd be OK for hood ventilation, like with cool tubes or something, but if you are looking for a complete air exchange every so often...

Duct boosters DO NOT work fine, this from what I have personally ascertained, not from what I've read. I bought the 8" fan at HD (Exact same one as in the link). They will keep moving air moving, provided that there is NO restriction anywhere. The motors on them do not have enough torque to...

Ever tried to FIND a pro bono attorney? Unless you have a case that would generate alot of free press making headlines, and is 100% winnable, you won't find one. Attorneys are REQUIRED to do a certain amount of pro bono as a condition of being admitted to the bar. All large firms have a dept...

I was pissed about the dude getting narc'ed out, but after the emotion of the moment, I'm kinda wondering whether or not it really happened. Most people I know who get busted generally don't get the opportunity to start another grow. They get thier asses hauled to jail. Last I heard, it was hard...

That is too cool. It never happens to me! Just remember........Kharma. Even if you dont end up paying them for the seeds, pay it forward to someone else.

Yeah, gotta go with you on that one. I wouldn't condone raping anyone either. But those comments weren't made against women as a whole. Just one snitching one. It could just as easily be "shoot him, beat him". I believe the sentiments and name calling would have been equally severe if it were a...

Surely to god you aren't justifying snitching someone out for ANY reason whatsoever? If a guy shits on his girl, does that justify snitching him out? Or vice versa? If you think it does, I'll bet that you'd probably be someone who would key someones car as a method of payback. It aint about...

WHY IS IT that we want to run out and tell everyone? I was dying to tell a couple of my friends about the grow. Thank god for sites like RUI so we can blab, and get our egos stroked in relative safety.

Dan Nabis is right. GET A LAWYER!!! The best you can afford. It's your only shot of getting ANYTHING dropped or reduced. An open door is NOT an invitation to search. It does allow them better visiblity to the contents in plain view, and the opportunity to swear they smelled pot to justify...

No, you can NEVER 100% trust anyone. Pissed off people do some fucked up shit. The ONLY reason that my wife knows what I'm doing is that if she tells anyone, she stands to lose out too. She'd play hell trying to convince a court that she was unaware there were plants in the house. "Popping a...

Naw, I got mine locally from a contractor who is demolishing a large manufacturing plant. I got a bunch (10 ea) of 400w MH and HPS, and 6 1000w HPS. (Dude threw in the 1000w'ers since the reflectors were slightly dinged.) They had alot of 250w MH and HPS as well. As a general rule, lighting...

Sounds like you've done this before. LOL That was the strongest smell I got through out the entire grow. I harvested and hung the buds in the spare room and I was done by 2;30, and at 6:00, my sister-in-law came over and told me she could smell it coming thru my garage!!!! Stayed that way for...

Yep. It'll take up about 2 feet of vert space. I ditched the real nice polished aluminum parabolic reflectors that came with mine for that very reason. Yep. You can use 'em. I have 5 of that exact same light now (Lithonia Lighting), and am getting 5 more. I also bought 5 HPS and going back...

If anything you are OVERESTIMATING the smell. I had one plant in the spare room, fans on and door open during the day. You could smell it from the doorway, no further. Now harvest and drying are a different story. You could smell pot all over the house for a couple of days. Yeah, what they...

This is true also from what I read. I know from personal experience that Sativas and Indicas have different highs, Indica having a more Narcotic/Body buzz/Couch-glue. That being said, the kind of high you get can be attributed to when you harvest also. My last (first) grow came from seeds I...

Mine did that too. I was well into 10 weeks with all white pistils.Trichs were 50/50 clear/cloudy with a few amber ones. I went ahead an harvested at what I'm pretty sure was 11 weeks. WOW!!! Nice high!!! I'd say go with the trichs. It would make sense. Thats how alot of people target the kind...

OK, what does it do good? yield? quality? Is it beneficial for the homegrower/connisuer or for a "broker"?

I would assume that the dude also owns said 75' shop, so that in the event shit goes south he'll be the one who loses out, not some unwilling/unknowing/unwitting property owner.
