Well, I believe in giving credit where it's due, and the G-13 strain of fame is "government" issue. And I feel the G-Man's secret indoor labs are very likely breeding some serious bombs. A few more cuts like G-13 will likely find their way out, into the cannabis community, eventually. It's just...

As some of you may know, the BC Hashplant is very unstable, and the f-2 generation produces a very large selection of phenotypes, one of which is an extremely huge producer. There were a couple photos of this 4 pound indoor plant floating around the web, several years back, but I have'nt been...

Have you ever heard of anyone in your state getting jail/prison time for five plants? Or how about just one big plant? Have you ever heard of, or personally known anyone that went to jail for flowering one big plant? I'm just curious, because you can grow one monster of a plant using the...

How many babies were you raisin` anyway, if you don`t mind my being so nosey? - RT

I know I`m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, when it comes to tech security questions and matters, but when I add an `s`to the `http`part of this site`s url, the server cannot find this site`s homepage. So, am I missing something key about the security of this site? How is it more secure...

Hey there Calbear, In addition to the MP grow journals, here's a link to a very cool external journal on CFL's and D.I.Y. LED's. It's worth a read or two, if you've got some time:- The author of the above journal shows us how to make our own LED fixture, as supplemental lighting, with...

To have the chief of police living right next door seems rather unlucky, to me, at least. Just a tad too close for comfort. You must have nerves of steel. If it was me, I'd be putting out the 'for sale' sign in a hurry, unless the chief was married to my sister. Even then, I'd still probably...

I've tried the above link several times, on different days, but it just won't work for me. When I change the `xx` to `tt`, it just sends to the Google Images webpage, but with no images or anything else on it. Anyone else experiencing any difficulty with the link? - RT

Thanks mike, for the positive feedback. I just checked out Blanco's LED TRUTH thread and it's a three pager with a five-star rating. This one, on the other hand, has'nt even received a single star, so I'm not really sure the members are impressed with it. But I like your idea about transferring...

As most experienced growers realize, sooner or later, stretch is partly the result of less than ideal lighting conditions; or inadequte lumen intensity. Lumen intensity, as you all know, is directly related to the beam angle of the light. Sunlight at the equator, for example, has a smaller beam...

Here is a couple of 4 year old articles on LED R&D, which provide the earlier HT article with some much needed context; and which affords us at the same time a glimpse into how far LED research has come, within just the past few years:- BRIGHTEST LED ARRAY RECORD...

In the June 2002 High Times article entitled, '4TH ANNUAL STASH AWARDS,' ( posted @ hXXp://hightimes.com/grow/ht_admin/425 ,) we read the following write-up/ review of the Gavita HPS bulbs: "After years of reliable use in Europe, Gavita HID lamps are now available in the US. Gavita has...

The above statement is, of course, an approximation, or an approximate average. The PAR wattage of HPS bulbs vary from bulb to bulb. Some lower, some higher. Take the 600 watt SUNMASTER Cool Deluxe Grow Lamp, foe example. Here is the description for it posted on a hydro website, randomly...

Lumen: Many people talk about lumen. If a lamp does not give much lumen, than the lamp is no good, or so they assert. This is not necessarily the case. We will explain why. Lumen actually is a measure of the luminous flux, which is amount of light of all wavelengths of the visible spectrum...

Lumens, Lux, PAR: (SEE: hXXp://www.aquabotanic.com/lightcompare.htm ) Artificial light sources are usually evaluated based on their lumen output. Lumen is a measure of flux, or how much light energy a light source emits (per unit time). The lumen measure does not include all the energy...
