Doobie, your pics always makes me droooool!
I miss being able to grow outdoors. Sometimes I want to cut holes
in my cellar floor and grow in the soil.
On another note; there is a scientist in Japan who developed a fiber optic indoor
hydro system that uses 100% natural sunlight to grow his hydro garden in the
basement of his bldg.
Makes you think hummmm!:weed:
:peace:
No lie i have thought about ways to do this. a fiber optic collector is a great idea for achieving this;)

My way i had come up with would be like a micro solor furnace with only a single ring of mirrors. The rest you could do with lenses and a concave ground glass disperser and grow in a stadium setup.

This guy has an array of parabolic collectors on the roof that are computer driven to
follow the sun all day. This feeds a multiple cable feed going through the bldg and
down 6 floors and the fiber doesn't loose any transmitted light! that's amazing.
his cables terminate with a 1/2" lens on each cable to spread the light.
:peace:

I have not read this thread in a while. Since when did the sun become 600 watts? No offense but, I thought this thread was dedicated to 600 watt grows.

Last week my wife had some serious surgery and the ONLY support I had
was in this forum, was it wrong that my forum family gave me help and a
little caring when I needed a kind word? or should I just talk about my grow?
:peace:

How is she doing by the way? Got the results back yet?

So the wife asked me this morning if two yard harvests per summer was possible if I were to start early in the spring.
Told her, yes, but would need to set up a darkhouse (opposite of a greenhouse) so I could pull a tarp or black plastic sheeting over it to control the 12-hour photoperiod, and then stagger the second group of plants so that they will flower on their own like my current grow (but start a month earlier on them).
So I might do two runs next season. :-)
