    Fairness in home ownership

    I have this great idea. It has come to be known that banks are choosing not to give home loans in low income neighborhoods. This disproportionately affects minorities and their ability to own homes and build a nest egg and it isn't fair. Now it might be the case that these banks are acting...

    Truth About Pot

    Did you know that 99% of all violent crimes are committed by someone who has consumed bread less than 48 hours prior to committing the crime? This is an example of confusing correlation with cause. Just because two things happen together doesn't mean one cause the other. I have learned that...

    Anyone ever gotten a mutant Purple Wreck seedling? Look at this!

    I'm pretty sure what you have there is a polypoid which has to do with a duplicate chromosome or some thing like that - I don't remember. You can Google "polyploidy in plants" to read about it. I'm also pretty sure this is what people are after when they treat plants with Colchicine. Anyway...

    THC: Quantity vs. Qualty - is there a difference?

    IDK if all THC is the same. Logic would hold that if you have weed that is half as potent as another and take twice the hits you will be equally stoned - but this is not the case. Many strains only get you so high regardless of how much is smoked. Also, I have noticed some things like...

    What product? And how do you like the Big Bud? What breeder?

    Breeding Grandaddy Purple

    The more strains are mixed together, the more different types of offspring will be produced. The key (in general) is to keep inbreeding and selecting until you breed out the strains that were crossed into it. It sounds like that's what the breeders of Deep Purple did although who knows how...

    Breeding Grandaddy Purple

    My understanding is that GDP is a cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud from Sensi seeds but this strain is only obtained via clone. And so is Purple Urkle. But, there is a strain called Deep Purple that has been back crossed to get close to the original PU. So, my idea is to grow some Deep...

    advanced nutrients vs. fox farm

    JR Peters also has a professional line called Jack's professional. I started a thread on it if I can find it. Anyway, the folks as JR Peters certainly have been in the business of making fertalizer a lot longer than any of the other guys and they are a lot bigger and have a lot more resources...

    to move lights, or to remove lights, that is the question

    8 square feet is a 4' X 2' space in which case 2 400W HIDs is more than sufficient. Do you mean 8X8 which is 64 square feet? At any rate, I would remove the UV lights first as there is no real evidence they are beneficial. Next, I would look at raising lights. Removing lights will...

    Jack's Professional Fertilizer

    I've been thinking about this for a while and it has recently come up so I thought I'd start a new thread. There are a number of expensive hydroponic fertilizers on the market and while the old "you get what you pay for" often holds true, this might not be one of those times. See, plant...

    Drip System Return Channel?

    I'm planning a very large drip system using 2 gal plastic pots and would like to recover my solution. What inexpensive material can I use to make some 20' channels with? I was thinking of just making some with wood and plastic sheeting but there has got to be something better. Any suggestions?

    Right Vs Left

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. Do you really believe the US economy is so simple that you can sum up its problems with a couple of sentences? Do you really believe you even have a solid understanding of this subject? Do you really believe you are qualified to judge such issues and...

    advanced nutrients vs. fox farm

    I've used Peter's 20-20-20 with fantastic results but assumed the higher end stuff must be better. I'm starting to see that sometimes experience and reputation beats the latest greatest.

    LED Lighting

    I came across some LED street lights while searching around on the web and I'm wondering if these would be any good for growing.

    Stealing electricity

    Several people were busted doing that in my area. You do not want to get caught stealing power and you do not want your grow jeopardized by something that dumb.

    Seed breeding dilemma - help me out!

    I have heard there can be some genetic issues with feminized seeds so I wouldn't use them. However, if you want to be sure to get females or want to sell the seeds you will have feminzied seeds. But why not just work with clones?

    What's This Hullabaloo Over Islam and Muslims?

    But you are missing the point. The claim I am refuting is based on the presumption that the radicals have a logical reason to hate us - our foreign policy. Those making this claim lay it out very clearly. "If they are pissed there must be a (logical) reason and it must be something we...
