    The Landlord

    I aint believing this thread. You KNOW she wouldn't be down, yet you will still do it. WHY??? Just 'cuz you want to and think it's OK? I dont agree with the marijuana laws. I want to grow also, but you'd best believe I asked my wife if she was OK with it, because anything that happens, good or...

    Busted Grow in Alaska

    Thats a good question. First off, the dude fucked up by letting them in in the first place. That one act makes everything that happened afterward immaterial. Even if he told the cops that the person the warrant was for wasn't there, generally they will enter anyway to see for themselves. It's...

    The Landlord

    400w is 400w whether its CFL or HPS, they'll cost about the same. HPS will give you waay more bang for the buck. But fuck all that.....WHY in the world would you do that to your otherwise "Chillin" landlord? Why couldn't you just give him/her the respect of not putting the property in jeopardy...

    Stealth Bedroom...Who Needs A Stealth Cab

    There is absolutely no way in hell I'd even try growing in a rental situation. I'd be way to worried about the LL coming in while I'm gone. Sure they're "supposed" to give 24 hr notice, but I don't care what they say, they will come in when they want to. My luck would be some rat chewing a wire...

    Stealth Bedroom...Who Needs A Stealth Cab

    My First Atempt This Year

    Dude, the leaves convert light into energy for the plant. The plant then takes that energy for bud production. Cutting off the fan leaves is like putting it on a diet. You are cutting off the food source for your buds!!!!

    Doing the Greenback Laundry

    "Hyper-inflation" or no, I'd be one hell of alot more comfortable with cash on hand than in the stock market. Dude was asking how to "hide", or at least manage the surplus cash. You just have to invest it in something thats both anonymous, and relatively stable. Gold, investment quality stones...

    Metal halide lights... need help!!!

    A multi-tap ballast can be wired in 4 different voltage configurations. At 120v it will draw a tad over 4 amps while at 220 it will draw around 2 amps. Home Depot and Lowes both have 400w MH bulbs for around $20 (US). They also carry 400w HPS for about the same price.

    Doing the Greenback Laundry

    Given the current state of our economy, cash on hand is a good thing. You can invest in some untracable "portable" investments like gold coins, gems, etc. but nothing beats a good supply of cash on hand in a crisis. Safety deposit boxes are out, as they show up as an asset in your bank records...

    Arrested

    While they may not read you "Miranda" at the time they arrest you, they most definately are SUPPOSED to tell you that you are under no obligation to answer any questions without legal representation. Once you tell them you want a lawyer, ANYTHING you might have said would be inadmissable, as...

    Helicopter infared detection of growlights???

    That Patriot Act is a mother fucker. Whats worse is that they are including drugs as a "threat to national security", and therefore we are "terrorists". If one is arrested under Patriot, that person becomes an enemy combatant with NO RIGHTS whatsoever. This is a worse case scenario right now...

    Getting Evicted Need HELP!

    It all goes back to the "Partner" thing. It almost always never works. Lots of guys want to "partner up" and grow, or "partner up" for any number of reasons. The theory is sound, but in real life the ONLY person you can count on 99% is yourself, and you'd better keep an eye on yourself from time...

    Landlord found my plants and wants them moved

    The "medical guy is coming to get them next week thing" would work, but how much time will it buy? Dude sounds really cool. Just don't piss on his leg and then tell him it's raining.

    Gathering HPS data/Calling all Hps owners

    400w HPS bulb about 14 to 18 inches from the tops with strong ocillating fan blowing across the tops. Room temps between 75 and 80(F). I have read (don't remember where) that if the lights are too close (but not close enough to burn) that it will inhibit the pistil color change. The "hairs"...

    $25 diy usb microscope : Tutorial

    Which is why God gave us superglue!!! I guess that due to the variable focal length of the scope, chip to lens distance isn't crucial?

    HPS vs. MH

    :bigjoint: Plus Rep to ya! Oh I understand you well enough, and agree with you on most parts. This is an interesting discourse. I don't get many opportunities like this:clap:. This is fun as well as educational. I see your point about the sensitivity of plants to certain wavelengths over...

    HPS vs. MH

    Excellent analogy with the coral. Just last week I was thinking about how Bud formation and coral growth are basically the same, each a colony of independent polyps(calyxses). born2killspam is right about having a mix of HPS and MH (From everything I have read). MH is good, HPS is good, a...

    HPS vs. MH

    Due to the added quartz or ceramic element in it that produces the extra light (color) range no doubt. But how about the light output in lumens? The "enhanced" bulbs I've checked out all had a broader spectrum of light true enough, but every one that I have personally seen had a significant loss...
