You need a fall guy. You get a contract and rent it to him. His name is on all the bills. If it gets busted, he takes the fall (*cough* fall guy). You claim absolute ignorance. He gets a large chunk of the profits, you get the rest. How much is dependent on how good you can negotiate. The...

T5's are a highly efficient form of fluoro tubes. They're aproximately 5/8ths inch in diameter. The number after the T indicates this. T8's are 1 inch(8/8), T12's are shop lights, and aren't as efficient. T8 and T5 bulbs can put out more lumens per watt than MH, but you need specialty plant...

Americans have lost their backbones. Accept it, you've fucked yourselves. Obviously you're not going to get mad as hell and declare that you will not take this shit anymore. That'd require ... action. Pretty much as many AMERICANS die due to being lazy, inactive & unhealthy sloths as do to...

I just Googled "flushing agent".... you might not believe the sorts of things people want to flush out of places. Those products sound helpful, though I just use plain tap water to 'flush', I don't really flush so much as I just don't use fert pre-harvest.

It depends if the cartoon is obviously written by a bunch of deranged lunatics that should never be let near children... those are always good.

I'm still searching for one. :blsmoke: We'd have the grandest discussions, oh, I simply can not wait.

That's what High Times claims, and every other manufacturer of LEDs for plants also claims. Apparently they have a bunch of research to back it up. It's fairly compelling. Full disclosure... they actually claim much more than that. :lol:

Not all light is created equally. Depending on frequencies and wavelength you're dealing light that can give life, or take it away. Not all LEDs are monochromatic, the most research being done behind LEDs is producing 'natural-looking' white light, at very high efficiency(beyond 150 lm/W)...

If mirrors absorbed light you would not see a reflection, it would be black. Are mirrors black? No. Can you see a reflection in a mirror? Yes. Obviously it's highly reflective. Mirrors have nearly perfect reflection, meaning over 90% of the light striking the mirror is reflected and hitting...

Watering every 2-3 days is too much, try once a week, work from there.

People are not encouraged to post in grow journals unless the OP openly invites such 'intrusions.'

No.. sorry, not me, but welcome to RIU!

Lumen isn't useless. Bulb types have conversion factors for converting the raw lux(not lumens, exactly) into PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density. This conversion factor is fairly significant, if you go by lumen rating, though. Comparing lumens between similar bulbs of similar color...

$3000-$4000 a pound for good shit. Around $1000-$1500/lb for mids. Selling on the street for 2-4x easily.

The UV in MH pumps trich production into overdrive because it's a protection for the plant and a biological response to the UVB(and UVA to a lessor extent) radiance. I'd assume the MH and HPS would finish fairly close to one another(probably within a week, maybe two), with the MH probably...

Highly reflective materials to enclose your plants with. Aluminized Mylar, aluminum (sheet, foil, etc), or matte white paint(you want titanium dioxide as the pigment, that's TiO2) if you can't get anything better. I've seen a guy grow a pretty decent plant with a couple CFLs and a trash can...

Remove the leaves gently when they shrivel up a bit more, otherwise let it grow. Try to leave the leaves on as long as possible(if they're not shriveled up/brown/black/diseased, that is), unless they get weird spots or mold/fungi/etc. Try to remove them before any of that happens. Lay off the...

You're fertilizing plants that aren't planted? Whaaat...? Ready for what? :confused:

:lol: Never use a standard light bulb for growing plants. That's a mere 20 lumens per watt... the rest is fucking heat. 120 watts of CFL would dominate that shit easy, and cost less, and your plants would still be alive. :idea: Fluoros or HID are your main indoor choices. Both are pretty...

Are they yellow/browning? Sounds like heat stress, raise the lights ASAP.
