    Heat question..

    I'm deffjnitely a fan of mag ballasts. I've had digitals and went back to mags. You may or may not be able to push a little more efficiency with digitals but the reliability of and life of mags makes up for that. Not to mention the cost and availability.

    Heat question..

    You can definitely separate the bulb/socket from the ballast. I have an old (80's) 250 mh that was all one unit. The ballast put out a lot of heat, not as Mich as the bulb but still quite a bit. Had a buddy come over whos an.electrician to check over what I did and he said its the way he would...

    question about couplings.

    Why only on one end? I'm not married to NPT by any means its just what is.already on there. I read your post and then was thinking, well why don't I.just go flare fittings on all the connections. Would I.be looking for JIC 37 swivel fittings? Just not sure on the name of the fitting.I would...

    question about couplings.

    Do you know of any reasonably priced sources of quick connects that are compatible with butane? Probably not in the same area so online sources would be more useful.

    question about couplings.

    Hi there! So I have a question regarding couplings on a cls. Right now I only have one 316ss hose, both ends are MNPT and need to both go into valves that are FNPT. The problem I'm having is that I don't want to have to spin the extractor or the recovery tank onto the hose. So I'm debating...

    bomb seeds (bubble, thc, big)

    So its been a couple weeks.. I think the thc bombs finally stopped stretching...these things want some space to flower...the 2 gallon pots looked dwarfed under the huge strecth. So I transplanted to 7 gallon pots on 3/4 thc bombs and I had already put one of them and the bubble bomb in 5 gallon...

    M.O.B.

    Kinda been slackin on the updates but i cchopped the two that were in the front a few days ago. Dry weight was just over 68 grams. Still have the biggest one and the one that was in the back right corner. Really had to.make room for the bombs i have just starting flower. They want the whole...

    Using leaf to make hasish and canna caps?

    You don't really need to start with hash to make potent caps. You can just do a coconut oil extraction with hot water and oil and then cool to separate. When I use fan leaves (which I like for making nighttime caps) I use around 2.5 pounds of leaf and put it into about 2 cups of liquid coconut...

    What to grow form this list

    If I remember correctly the cotton candy is the same gene cross as cotc's purple paralysis. Paralysis did well for me. A couple friends of mine grew the sugar black rose and I really liked that too.

    old equipment still in use

    I still use a 250 halide that was made in 83. I've never had to replace anything except the bulb. It was an all in one unit but I used a cord from an old AC hood that I didn't need and made it remote.

    M.O.B.

    Ya I smoke all of what I grow, just a small grow. Personally i prefer buds that aren't super dense. I like to be able to grab a nug put it in a pipe and smoke it. The really dense buds I've seen just don't seem to burn that well without breaking it up or grinding. I'll toss another pic up later...

    M.O.B.

    No, they are more dense than the buds from the bigger plant that this journal started with. I'm sure they won't end up as dense as some of my other strains but that's not.really a concern for me as long as they aren't real airy.

    Favorite strains?

    I went with the thc bomb and the bubble bomb, got a freebie of big bomb, cherry bomb. So far I'm liking what I see except thc bomb has a ridiculous stretch haha.

    M.O.B.

    Late update.. but here's the end of week 7 from 12/12. Probably going to cut on the end of week 9 from 12/12. At least the top halves of the plants anyway (I'm pretty much out of buds haha)

    Veg time vs. yeild

    It depends on a lot of things besides genetics too. For instance say you keep two plants real healthy for 2 months and put one in flower. Then the other starts to become unhealthy by month 3.5and worse by month 4 then you flower it, the less vegged plant would yield more I'd expect. Generally I...

    Plants Can't Handle ANY Nutrients? Wtf! Will I still Get decent buds?

    I don't think bite burn is a myth (especially with synthetic nutes ) but I do think that it.is not the op's problem. I think it.is more of a ph issue, than a nute burn. Check the ph going in and out and report back to us. PS ime, flushing straight ffof doesn't do much unless your trying to...

    bomb seeds (bubble, thc, big)

    Thc bomb #2 of 5 turned out to be a male. At least 3 of the other 4 are definitely females and there's one that still hasn't shown definite signs yet. It seems to be a pretty stretchy strain, but they also look like they have potential to be tall bushy plants if I'd been able to give them more...

    Did I make my butter to dank?

    I mean I use coconut oil not butter but I make daytime oil that uses 1.5-2.5 oz of buds to 16 oz of coconut oil. I also make a nighttime sleepy oil that uses 2.5 lbs+ of fan leaves/small leaves/airy.bottom buds (basically.just the stuff I.don't consider worth. Trimming just ripped off...

    bomb seeds (bubble, thc, big)

    So they actually have grown a lot this week. I threw them into my flower room like 3-5 days ago. Not 100% sure whether to attribute the growth to just being under a lot more light or maybe just the start of a big flower strecth (they.still haven't showed sex, as of today I'm starting.to see...
