I heard the Cup is going to be in Portland, OR this July, for what that's worth.
(Hi-- I'm a noob lurker, thinking about LEDs, and just read through this whole thread!)
Thanks for sticking it though to the end.
We talk a lot sometimes.
As for cups, they are having them all over these days. I think there are 4 in California each year, one in denver, one in seattle, I guess one in Portland. They have them in Spain now too. I honestly think Amsterdam has had enough being the weed capital of the world and want to hand it off to whoever will take it.
LED's are the way to go in my mind. Cheap electric, less cooling, better environment (at least in my case). Bummer about the up front costs.
I been busting my butt getting forms together for a big move. It's about 99% that me, the wife, and the baby are moving to the Canary Islands in a few months. Many details to follow. I'm super stoked.
Also, my plants blew the fuck up while I was gone on my trip. It's crazy in there. I cleaned out the tubes last night and will get the girls in their final homes tonight. Also might be picking up a few more plants to fill up the tubes right. Pics to follow. Also haven't forgotten vacation pics.
