    Who remembers the 60's?

    This is a great list of pointers to music of the time frame. I don't pretend to remember the '60s. I was a kid. I remember the '70s though. That was fun. I got to pretend I was a child of the '60s and play in the '70s. Sex and drugs and rock and roll. Holy s*** I love the '70s. The 2020s...

    480 or 600w bar led for a 4'x4'?

    By the way, when I replaced the main frames with a stack of Linux compute servers the mainframe people said the same thing. Hehe

    But you haven't said why. Please do.

    480 or 600w bar led for a 4'x4'?

    I'm a bit confused on the value proposition of medium to high-end lights versus the cheap crap I now pick up on Amazon. Start off with I have a 4 of 90s/180 enjoyield dual bar lights that I got for 90 bucks a pop. That was 50 cents a watt and totally filled a 4x4 tent. If any of them died I...

    Is there anything like working on agar but with plant cultures?

    Vigorous growth that we select for in mycelium is an indicator of how well the whole organism will do. That's meaningless for cannabis. The final trichome production is what we are after. So those little itty bitty cells are used to store large quantities of plant genetics. You can do a breeding...

    Experiments in light levels. To start off with I had a tent with four 90/180 lights. They would burn cannabis at anything less than 18 in. So I started a single light at 90 at way far away and lowered it as necessary, adding lights as things started to spread out. Then I decided this was way...

    Yep. I have that room for 3 months before I've committed to abandoning it. My wife wants something else in there then. So I'll find out whatever I can eat off of it indoors and whatever I have to prep for outdoors. I expect all open space to be filled with tobacco plants and then move them outside.

    I got space. I got more space as of today. Set up two additional sets of shelves, surrounded with mylar, with open space in between that will allow me to drop a ceiling light. Currently there's 7x38 watt lights in there. Basically anything that's not a climber will be pulled that out of the...

    My cucumbers are doing great but my zucchinis are falling off. They either don't get enough nitrogen or they are root bound and I'm about to do my transplants. So I will move them along and see if they do any better. Or maybe they have too much light for where they are. Maybe they are bleaching...

    In my case the project just got a bit bigger. I want to lay out those tobacco plants in a large area so I can transplant them outside come spring. I've allocated a room for 3 months. The lights will show up in a day or so. I think I'll have about 40 or 50 of these things going when I'm ready to...

    And here's the current pics. Someone said find the stuff you love to grow and grow only that because everything else will be too much. I think I found them. I have the following starts that look healthy enough to transplant and dedicate some serious space to them. The climbers are: San marzano...

    At this point I have them growing on three different shelves that I rotate through. When it is high light, 90 watts at 10 in, it grows really tight and crinkly. It has plenty of light and it has no need to stretch the slightest bit. This lettuce tastes strong. Great with dressing but I can't eat...

    What's the matter with your eggplant? I have several squashes but I'm not sure how well they're doing. The zucchini starts with nice green leaves but fades out and goes to yellow. I'm not sure if I'm root bound at the moment though, and merely transplanting into something larger could fix this...

    And now I can eat out of it. The lights for the bottom are on order. It's kind of cold in there though so I think I'm going to add a couple of heating mats. The dill forest makes ass kicking creamy sauce. The lettuce is a decent salad base, a bit bitter. That tells me I'm getting nutrients...

    Adventures in light,heat and airflow. I put what I thought was a hot LED light laid on the ceiling top rack. It has two settings, 90 and 180 watts. 180 watts would burn cannabis set at anything less than 18 in. So I only have it on half strength. I wanted to see if I would burn at half strength...

    And here's more light and more space in metal racks and a lot of mylar. Space blankets. I ran out of tape. My goal was to block all light so it didn't reflect in the TV. I'm almost there.

    Well I wanted to know the absolute bare minimum wattage that lettuce would grow under. I figured it out. At least I figured it out while shielded. I put lettuce under two light bars spaced 6 in apart. That's 14 watts. I put it as close to the bar as I could, the bar runs barely warm. I...

    But of course I could do better. Reorganized to match height as best I could and then raise them again. This should be the final layout for the next week. I have a whole bunch of matching plants in the tent at a much higher wattage light and I will see the difference in a week or so. I suspect...

    And here it is with pots and pans and cookie sheets raising to the appropriate level, or so I think. If this works then I can double the amount of shelves in there. I just thinned out a whole bunch of plants. I've never tasted fresh sage before. That was incredible.

    12 hours on the 28 w shelf and they perked right up. On the very edge of that that shelf as well, so they don't need it all but they needed a bit more.
