Isn't it retarded that they chose ~2.45GHz for communication.. There is a reason MW's work in that range (water resonant frequency), and they've been around alot longer.. You're a little better off using the lowest channels, 10-11 are right smack dab in MW land..
No rush at all, I'm just curious..

PM me with an email address that can accept a 1.2MB pdf file, anybody who wants it.. The board doesn't support it as an attachment..

I'm using a trial version of Foxit right now, and that doesn't let me do that.. I'll look into a reader that can.. Alot of it will be way over ppl's heads anyways, its pretty intense biochem.. I have alot of post secondary chemistry under my belt, and alot of it baffles me, but a few key aspects will pop out at anybody who understands the bulk of what we discuss here..
For now, here are screen caps of the part I was talking about.. The file itself is roughly 30pgs, and covers chemical reactions involved in various forms of PS..

Thanks for the vid kali, but I won't be able to watch it until I get onto a pc from this millenium, I fried my normal pc the other day, literally.. I don't keep the case on it, and I zapped myself with a flyback, and dropped a lead carrying 20000+ volts right inside it.. I'd be pissed off about it if it was say 120V, but the HV just makes it poetically funny..:)
(It was only a P3, and for the record that 20000V just hurts, it only carries a few mA.. Kind of like a spark plug..)

You can watch the video on older computers no problem - just turn off HD by clicking on the HD off button and it should run no problems.

I just mounted one T5HO to the wall, BTW - here's a pic.

No video shows, maybe if I installed a newer browser for javascript, might as well get Opera on here anyway, running Win95 w/IE4 on a P1 233.. My buddy has a pc comprable to my fried one for me as soon as I get over there.. I have everything except RAM for a 2.8GHz box, but non obsolete hw costs money, and I kind of pride myself on what I can pull off with pathetic systems.. I'm actually extremely computer savvy in a way.. I mean sure I just learned what twitter is yesterday:), but I've been programming/troubleshooting pc's and other systems for decades.. I really miss the days when you had to be a geek to even use a computer.. It was so peaceful..:)

I remember when you had to be a geek just to get on the internet. It was much more peaceful then, too!

I didn't know P1 processors got to 233, I thought the start of 200+ MHz was with the Pentium Pro, then the Pentium II Which was just a Pentium Pro with MMX instructions added on and a slight die shrink.

2.8 GHz system - what sort of RAM? I have DDR2 and possibly DDR1 lying around I might be able to send to you. Might only be 512 MB but that's enough for a decent XP or 2K system.

Its the last processor before P2 266.. Maybe it is a Pentium Pro, it does support mmx.. And when I was talking to the guy I mentioned this morning, he was talking about giving me some 512's for the 2.8, so he could free up his slots to upgrade himself, but I gotta help him trash some bind-weed for it.. (Thats the Borg of invasive plants btw:)
And yea, I'm a 2k/Linux guy.. There aren't many things XP can do that 2K cannot, except rape your system resources..
In the meantime, hell I just realized I can watch that vid on my xbox.. Duh..

I was kind of an xbox modding guru, but I got banned from xbox-scene when I stated my opinion that the site had become some pathetic corporate lap-dog to M$ and a couple chip vendors..
It used to be about reverse engineering the system, not anymore.. I imagine I'll get banned from here someday if one of those fandangled nutrient concoction companies decides to throw alot of money at this site..:)

I never got into any scene except the demoscene, which was much fun.

So I got the other light hung up today opposite the one mounted on the wall. Got a picture for ya from top down. Checkit! 400wHPS above and between dual 4-lamp T5HO arrays! GLORIOUS, isn't it? :D

Nice, it looks like a machine:).. Do you know the growth pattern of these plants in flowering already, do you expect a battle to keep them from encroaching on the T5's?? Oh wait, you tend to viciously clear the lower stuff and scrog right? Assuming those are intended to shine from below the canopy wouldn't you get a slightly better projection if you were to squeeze the bottoms in a bit, and tilt the top of the T5's towards the walls??

I'm going to put a thin clear plastic film over the T5 lights to help prevent encroaching into the fixture, because they WILL burn the plants about 4mm away from the bulb. This time I'm not going to scrog, I'm going to let the plants do their thing, clone the bottoms or make mothers from bottom clones, and get started into a cycle. The T5s will be to accomodate lower bud growth.

Just scorch. No bursting into flames. They don't seem to burn until they're about a BB's thickness away.

Pic attached is the damage to the Purple Kush from letting it get that close to the light, yesterday. Note 4mm is just what I observed. I have seen the plant within 10mm no problem.
