lol.. I watched superhigh me.. it was.. ok.. could have been handled a lot better though. When he did the 30 days high, i was like 'welcome to my world, buddy'

Call me stupid but i've seen so much conflicting information on this its untrue. Is aquarium stuff the same as air type stuff, can either be used? Which is yours? Different people say different things :(

i lucid dream too. But my lucid dreaming tends to happen towards the end of my sleep rather than the beginning. I always had really vivid dreams as a child (my dad is the same) and frequent vivid and very awful nightmares. Before i took up weed, people told me i laugh in my sleep, sometimes...

CFL lights can be stripped down so that the ballasts (in the base) can be mounted remotely (IE out of the box) which will help your battle against heat significantly, as the main heat making part of a CFL is the ballast - the tubes themselves only produce a tiny proportion of the total heat...

any alternating current device, solid state (digital) or not at those kind of powers will have some hum but a digi should be quieter. If it's not, it's due to poor tolerances in the values of some components. They install fans in the larger digital ballasts because although, on the whole, they...

I'm in the UK and can't seem to find 4700k or 6500k energy savers (for a small veg/bonsai mum cab) anywhere in the shops, and they're not cheap on the net. Most of the point of buying CFLs is they're supposed to be cheap. Got plenty of 2700k for flowering anyone know anywhere that sells em...

wall wart multi voltage DC adaptors are fine for pc fans - the kind of adaptors you get for personal stereos, routers, portable games consoles etc. Your pc fan will have its rating on it in amps - 0.2a say. as will the adaptor. make sure your adaptor amp rating exceeds that of the fan. The fan...

Good advice this. digital ballasts don't hum like magnetic ones do, use slightly less power, increase the lumens per watt of the lamp, and increase lamp life.

Ta for the info billy. Potbelly, props for doing this diary. How much heat does this light give off? I don't imagine its much.. Have you used CFLs before? any temp comparisons for us between a 70w HPS and CFL bulbs?

If that light comes with a ballast its the cheapest i've ever seen. I'm in sheffield so i might give them a call tomorrow.

It's good to see these small bulbs actually getting used. Not many people use them over here in the UK - I got laughed at for suggesting a 150w HPS in a growshop recently. Have considered these 70w bulbs but we don't seem to get those security lights here that are sold in the states, all our...

Everyone i've talked to says "get UVB in there" - There's a lot of evidence that UVB helps plants, working on the variance in UVB concentration in different parts of the world. Those reptiglo bulbs seem to me to be a good idea, they shouldn't be too harsh being designed for lizards - going to...

Have a look around at micro grows. If you just want a small crop, a couple of energy saving light bulbs, the standard household type are sufficient for growing mj. One of the regulars on another forum gets a regular 1.5oz crop in a 1'x1' box under 4 20w energy savers. Alternatively, get a 50...

I was thinking about this.. and it's a bloody good excuse to be buying nutes and hydro bits.. Also cooking with marijuana + your own herbs sounds good to me :D

They do sell them here in the UK, best advice: google.
