    What are you going to do when the first dispensary opens in the valley?

    how can we not know how much light by now?

    of course there's lots of bad info on the net but this is ridiculous. half of the sources say 3,000 lumens per square foot while the other half says 7,000 or more lumens per square foot is the right answer for weed. i always go with the higher number, but what about you? sources that say...
