    my computer controlled grow room - GrowControl 1.1

    I use an rs-232 serial interface card with special firmware for a "networked" support. I use an rs-485 adapter with that so I can daisy-chain them together. from there into a darlington array for protection, then reed relays for higher current switching, then I use rca cables to connect that box...

    best way to germinate seeds

    what is the closest to perfect way to germinate seeds? it's simple enough to do it the right way, but I recently found myself asking "what can I do to make it better?" I may have just gotten a bad batch of seeds, or maybe the conditions aren't perfectly right. I hope to clear this up then come...

    Busted 4 days after 420

    I ordered from nirvana too. most of the ice seeds were crushed or damaged in the mail, I have 4 good ones. all 10 citral seeds look ok but only 3 have germinated and it's getting late in the week, so not looking good for those. nirvana is sending me ice replacements and something else for free...

    can I convert a neon light transformer into a hps ballast? if it wasn't so dangerous and lethal I might consider looking into it more.

    I think the answer is yes, you'd have 180K lumen. you'd also have better light coverage with 2 lamps.

    Things to Know About Lighting

    here is my theory, I really think it's true and applies in so many different ways.. "people are naturally stupid". as far as I know mercury is banned from public schools, yet they still use tube florescents. what is stopping people from disposing of the cfl's in the proper way? laziness maybe...

    My Super Grow Room

    how long does it take to finish flowering, how much longer do you have on yours? I think I'm 2 weeks behind you, but I only have a few small white hairs yet. with there was something I could do to speed it up. does cooler temps at night help any? I've been keeping it 72-78F constantly.

    Things to Know About Lighting

    I think the lumen output specs of led grow lights are exaggerated, or based on the distance of an inch from the lights. does anyone have some math to show the amount of light an led panel has compared to a cfl or tube florescent? talking about small indoor grows with heat concerns. I came up...

    Is candlelight enough to interrupt the dark period?

    I kinda know what you mean. I start cooking something on the stove, I walk away for only a minute or 2 to grab something from another room, I come back and it's burned to the bottom of the pan already. things can happen so fast and not be expected.

    Water Temps=important Summer=warm

    thread hijacker! stone him! don't know a thing about it. a lot of the pro's left this forum a little while back, but someone should know if you post a new thread for it. or google it, maybe there's a tutorial on it.
