I know this isn't the right section for this subject but I got a kick out of it and wanted to share............DENVER -- A former police officer is joining the effort to legalize marijuana for recreational use in Colorado.
It appears he regrets ever busting ANY of the many many people he busted in his law enforcement career, I'm not a voter when it comes to anything but legal weed and then I'll go out of my way, if its on the ballot I'll register and you know how I'll vote.

Is the controller bucket with 2 floats on the bottom a newer version vs the one float version?
The cap controllers with 3 float switches total are the older version from what I've been told, the monster I bought has two float switches.

here are some pics today of my 20k watt room flipped them last week took some pictures today. the huge bush is my budding clone experiment turned out awesome thing is like twice the size of everything in the room but had a nitrogen def. that wont go away so weird.

the color is messed up from my cell phone so sorry lol but they are looking decent from how much shit these plants have been through half them were dead 2 weeks ago from 140 degree heat and no nutes for 4 days lol surprised they look how they do now to be honest.

straight from mr CAP himself............The check valve was include in some units because they lack a delay ON feature for the drain side of the cycle. All units starting about February all have the delay built into the control board, making the check valve unnecessary. I would say that if the customer wants a check valve then we do sell them, other than that they are not needed for any of our units, unless it has been sitting on they're shelf for more than 8 months. Let me know if you need any additional information."

they certainly do make it clear that they SELL a check valve. 6 bills I spent and they can't include a 5 dollar part because they THINK its not needed, thats why I have the intake pointing down on my drain pump.
