    Help with Ballast Wiring

    While I certainly am not advocating unsafe practices, you'll be fine with the 14. I am using 16 ga for my 400w lamps. They run 24/7 for 8-10 weeks, then 12/12 for 9-10 weeks. no probs. I had actually bought 12 ga for my power wire and from the ballast to lamp. It was WAAYY too stiff. Hard raise...

    defeating flyover FLIR

    If you're on septic, I doubt it would work. Air has to flow. But if you're on city sewer, you will be forcing air to flow INTO the system with a fan (Hopefully a good one). It's forced airflow, not a "natural" venting from convection, or suction. I know that I am on city sewer, and the pipes...

    defeating flyover FLIR

    I am currently venting ino the crawlspace under the house, and it cools the exhaust nicely. My real concern is odor, an so far that really hasn't been a problem. But if I vent down the sewer, and smell DOES become an issue, at least the Jehovahs witnesses coming to my door won't smell it

    Molasses ?

    I'd imagine that would be like sugar in the injectors of your car. Gum up everything!!! Thats why I don't do hydroponics. Anything more complicated than dirt confuses me!!! I have been using about 5 tablespoons in 2 gallons of water. Use hot water to mix the molasses, then cool, or slightly...

Too many people involved and someone is absolutely certain to "Brag", or "Show off" thier part of the grow. And I'm here to tell you.............. I don't care HOW WELL you think...

    DIY 250w HPS ballast not lighting

    Either that, or you have a bad connection with one or more wires. All my lights are converted commercial fixtures. Home Depot has the 250w bulbs, I'm not sure how much, the 400w bulbs are less than $20 (US)

    anybody seen leaves like this before

    Nope! Never saw that one. Of course, this is the first I've heard of that book, so I'm not surprised. It's a wonder that there aren't more genetic deviations bred into strains that would tend to disguise them at first glance, or for ornamental reasons. Yeah, I know. We are going for bud not...

    Are These Girls Ready Yet? (White Berry & A Mystery Strain)

    I think that's what he's using, I'm just trying to figure out how. Could be a macro lens over the eyepiece. It just might work, I'll have to try it.

    Air ventilation and outatake fans bros

    Dude said he was in Vegas. It's hotter and drier than a Dutch oven there. But your BEST bet would be to put a small window a/c unit in there if you can. Especially if you're gonna use HID lighting.

    defeating flyover FLIR

    I read that too. And after weighing in all the details, I can't find any problems. In fact, it makes perfect sense. As long as air is flowing into the sewage pipe, nothing can come out, It's pretty much invisible to FLIR, and any BUD odor that might survive amid all that shit is gonna be...

    anybody seen leaves like this before

    PS = Photoshop. You can do ANYTHING with a digital image in it. It's used alot for special effects, swapping heads for fun, or you may have caught the thread where the guy had a "tomato/cannabis" hybrid, with a petunia thrown in for good measure!!! Depending on how good you are, it can be damn...

    anybody seen leaves like this before

    Is that from seed? Thats just too cool. Kinda like the 2 headed snake, or turtle. No real cause, just a genetic aberration. I had some strangely twisted leaves on mine, but that's just plain pretty. I'm usually good at spotting Photo Shop. I'm betting that's real. (or you are REALLY good at PS)...

    what to tell parents

    You're definitely 16. Tact and diplomacy are skills you have yet to learn. Some respect and manners wouldn't kill you either. Dude, have some respect for the folks. You gotta do something other than smoke all day every day, unless you can make money at it. Here REALLY shortly you gonna find out...
