    ~~Heat Detection System..?

    Correct, heat signature is not good enough stand-alone... FLIR can see through walls and ceilings, but isn't valid as any form of evidence/proof it that method is used.. and it'd take 1000s of watts to really make it stand out, especially if your operation is in say.. a basement.

    Means someone gave you reputation points.. see under your name, the single lil' green rectangle? Look at mine, and you'll see what rep does.. no real purpose for it that I can figure out at this point.

    Didn't say that, and if we wanted them dead.. we wouldn't use waterboarding - we'd just drop a bomb like we do every other time we want Oil.

    We've killed more than one with waterboarding... I wouldn't call that simulated.

    complete darkness ????

    Long story short, complete darkness can't do much of anything, and here's why.. Plastids and phenos will work their way up the stalk of the trichomes, and combine in the secretory cavity. When said combination is hit with UV-B, it causes the creation of cannabinoids. Everything psychoreactive...

    complete darkness ????

    Shit.. while we're going to argue, I'll throw more stuff into the mix. Which one of the 3 types of trichomes that exist on a cannabis plant are even being discussed? Are they being grouped into 1, as if all have the same purpose?

    600w HPS in 1000w Ballast.....

    Perfect, because I tried to entrap someone with that statement and it didn't work..... lol .. Am surprised no one corrected me on it.. the ignitor spikes with voltage, and not current... between 2-5KV.

    600w HPS in 1000w Ballast.....

    Not enough current to blow the bulb? HPS bulbs are lit with a current -spike-... I'd say there's more than enough to completely bbq a bulb.

    Yes, as long as the extension cord rating as it's listed can handle it, and make sure that it is UL-rated as well - you could easily do it that way, would recommend that if you do.. that you put in hooks and run the cord at ceiling level just so you don't have tripping hazards that may rip...

    220 drops the Amperage.. that said, make sure you don't max out each breaker, leave a 20% cushion for other short term appliances, and to also guarantee that the wiring and all things related will not get stressed and fail, get hot, or potentially start a fire. A = W / V .. so in the 110 vs...

    Electrical question(s) CFL grow newbie

    Safety margin is 20% for new wiring, or more if the wiring is more than 10 years old, per standard.. many solar setups use 35%. 5% with a high current spike will BBQ wires, as an aside.
