That's an idea I have long wanted to see implemented, but I had thought it to be illegal in the United States. As I recall, it runs afoul of both banking and securities laws, said laws having been designed to prevent lending competition with fractional reserve banks. Is the company you are...

OK, but unemployment is very different from welfare/disability in that it is theoretically temporary. So let's say all these unemployed people are out there blowing their unemployment check on pot, meth, and coke in addition to their opiate prescription. The taxpayer forks out $1,200 - that's...

In my area, I guesstimate that better than 80% of all SSI disability and welfare recipients have a prescription for some opiate variant. Therefore, it is a total waste of time and money to drug test such people. Such funds would be far better spent in rooting out disability fraudsters: there is...

Welfare drug tests? To "get them off the rolls"? I got news for ya, my state tried something similar. Not to "get them off the rolls" but to make sure they were actually taking the drugs that were prescribed to them...instead of selling them for extra income. Well, the result is that it costs a...

From a practical standpoint, the new MyRA accounts don't make any sense. That's because the target contribution demographic doesn't have any money left from their paychecks, even if they were so inclined to contribute to such a plan. Even if they did have the money, it is obvious to even the...

Needlessly complex. Cut the branches off the plant and stick them in rockwool starter cubes. Put in humidity dome. Water rockwool cubes when they start to look dry. 100% success for many years. No Superthrive, no hormones, no misting, no need to double-cut, just use mild strength nutrient...

I don't care what Grodan says, they need to be soaked for 24 hours. Especially when using such large blocks. If you are doing drain to waste, a pH of 5.5 should be fine.

A friend grows in a closet off of about a 15'x15' spare bedroom that is used for storage space only. I got him a Uvonair 1000 and he runs it around the clock in the bedroom, not the closet. I figured if it didn't kill the odor running in the bedroom, he would place it directly in the closet. So...

1. Super Blue Dual Arc? You're giving up 30,000+ lumens that you could be getting with an HPS. Not gonna argue spectrum; commercial growers use HPS because it out-yields everything else. Don't need Hortilux either, GE, Sylvania, etc work great. Light should probably be a minimum of 24" off the...

Box the plants up and put an air freshener next to the box. Hide everything else but the tent. Hang some clothes in the tent. If he sees the tent and asks about it, you can tell him about the amazing free portable closet a friend gave you and open it to show him the clothes.

Thanks for the info thedude27. I believe the plant damage you are describing is caused by nitric acid which is only an issue with the CD type ozone generator. Anyways, I had to put off using the ozone generator until just a few days ago. I am using the unit next to an unsealed closet and there...

A sub-forum for illiterate growers? Have you looked into posting your inquiries in the "Newbie Central" forum?

They are not sufficiently effective and you would be better off scrapping all those mini-lights and getting at least a 400w HPS. Not sure why people think that quantity matters more than quality, but that idea is wrong. One powerful light will outproduce a bunch of dinky lights every time.

Most water out of the tap is 7-7.2 pH. When you adjust it down with phosphoric acid, you are introducing a minor nutrient profile to the clone. However, I prefer to use a 1/4 strength nutrient solution, grow or bloom, makes no real difference. This way, the moment the roots begin forming, they...

TSA is a federal agency and, as such, US military veterans receive hiring preference. Collectively across the services, males outnumber females. Hence the gender distribution. As for minorities, they are well represented in the armed forces; minority TSA hiring has nothing whatsoever to do with...

Compared to what?

Considering your prior commentary, there is no reason to assume that you would have bought bitcoins at a "top", "bottom", or any other position. So what is the point of your comment? Stroking your ego with a little Germanic schadenfreude? Ironic, as the real Balzac did a fine send-up of the...

Sorry, but that is a worthless test since you contaminated it with confirmation bias on both you and your wife's part. Of course your wife is going to find a difference; she doesn't want to look like a moron, does she? You TOLD her they were different, didn't you? Case closed, test failed, not...

You are making a lot of assumptions that likely have no basis in fact. The first and biggest error is assuming that any given batch of seeds is going to live up to the advertisements. They won't. Secondly, quality is almost always inversely proportional to quantity. I have been at this for a...

Motivation has nothing whatsoever to do with "crackability". The level of computing power required to "crack" bitcoins is not currently extant nor is there any reason to believe it will be invented in the future. The technological advances of the last century have conditioned people to expect...
