    Basic wiring question

    Ballast types are universally coded.. One of those numbers should be printed somewhere.. S55 type will draw alot more current during startup.. With a couple S55 150's though, you're probably looking at no more than a momentary 10A surge if that, so starting them together should only be a...

    Basic wiring question

    The reason I'd use separate cords would be so I could stagger start them to reduce the surge.. HID's draw alot more current during start-up than they do while running with most ballast types.. Plus, 2 cords just gives you flexibility.. You can always plug a power splitter into a timer.. Are...

    yeast?

    What part confuses you? Do you know how to set up a basic fermentation? Dissolve ~20% sugar(by mass) into warm water.. Add maybe 5% by mass molasses, or suitable yeast nutrient like tomato paste, potato water, maybe a crushed vitamine tablet etc.. Add lemon juice to bring pH to around...

    yeast?

    Adding a bubbler will allow dissolved O2 into the water, and instead of anaerobically fermenting sugar as in C6H12O6 -> 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + heat, they will go into a yeast reproduction mode and the dominant reaction will be C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + more heat.. Basically triples the...

    ballast wiring

    KingKahuna is right.. You'd need to re-engineer the ballast in a big way.. Read up on the purpose of the bigass capacitor, and ignitor in a ballast to understand a bit better.. This ain't no resistive load.. And if you were to redisign the ballast properly you'd realize that it doesn't scale...

    seeds from feminized seed

    They still aren't the best candidates for any breeding, but the sex will work out as she said.. Unless a pollen sac goes unnoticed and contributes to the seed count.. If that happens it may or may not be possible to distinguish between the selfed seeds, and the natural ones..

    BBP...What are you giving your plants now?!?

    No, its alot like LAB in a way.. It thrives in ethanol up to ~20%, and converts it to acetic acid.. I doubt ethanol is the only compound it metabolizes, although there will be some traces in soil.. It probably catalyzes alot of oxidations, as I assume LAB does as well.. There is a ton of info...

    A similar beast that we can't tolerate in the fermenting game is aceto-bactor.. (Turns wine to vinegar really fast).. Has this come up in anybody's reading regarding soil biology?

    BBP...What are you giving your plants now?!?

    One very effective micro-organism that could be innoculated into soil that hasn't been mentioned yet is Aspergillus oryzae.. It is used in the fermentation of saki, and 'real' soy-sauce (Technically, like tabasco sauce, soy-sauce must be fermented to be considered real).. Perhaps adding malted...

    here's how to make feminized seeds

    Papa, BC Seed King sells some pretty decent genetics for pretty cheap.. Almost all their seeds cost $50 for 20 seeds.. And since alot of their focus is on strains for Canadian outdoor growing, alot of them are really tough and can survive harsh conditions, and a few mistakes.. I'm not trying...

    here's how to make feminized seeds

    And you know the saddest thing, its quite likely that Papa is the most knowlegable grower in his circle of friends.. When I was in university, the number of 2' plants in dixie cups, under incandescent bulbs was hilarious.. Bad genetics can still give you weed with just 'a tad' of brains.. If...

    here's how to make feminized seeds

    I realize that.. Papa isn't the only one on these forums that are tough to understand, but usually with other ppl its a mix of bad grammer, punctuation, and ebonics..

    here's how to make feminized seeds

    Not a good place dude, regardless of what your mom says.. And by 'this time' do you mean you've already been busted? Be afraid! Whats the legit purpose of that greenhouse? How long has it been there? I dunno what to think of your drive-by.. Alot of ppl like to putter down country roads...

    D-limonene

    One thing to consider if you mean you want to add it to bud directly is the fact that it is obviously a non polar solvent.. Your cannabinoids would dissolve, and would be pretty much forever locked up with the limonene.. Personally I can't think of a worse flavor addition, and most compound's...

    here's how to make feminized seeds

    Everybody wants to go legit, but in a way its the riskiest approach.. Laws are fleeting, politics change.. Reputation does not.. I remember hearing about a couple guys who sent samples of their product, with contact info to Health Canada when they were starting up the medical access thing..:)...
