cod should only be played on the hard-> hardest difficulty. it has little re-play value i've found, as with near all shooter games, so it's always a must to play it on hard. i ocmpleted the first one on hard in about 8 hours and the second on hardest one in about 6 hours. they're both fantastic games (single player!) if short and wih rather wack story lines, but the multiplayed of the first was such a load of shit that i refuse to buy the second for it's multiplayer

LMAO, if the polis had knocked on my door i think they guilty look on my face would of been enough to warrent a warrent lol, my face tells all, i cant lie to save my life either, honest to a fault.

Not heard of M.A.G. but i recently completed COD modern warefare, like sambo on easy, tried it on a level up n kept gettin shot lol, but fuckin awesome game, if way to short, More into racin games for the 360.

On another note, my limp shoot has perked up alot, now got 2 healthy lookin girls, wish i had planted to my rooms capacity, but been a while so gonna use this as a test grow m hopefully get some money from it to fund a better second grow. N i dont think your missus will be impressed if she gets home from work 1 day to find her wardrobe full of plants lol.
Glad your G13 are ok, and fingers crossed with the chronic.

cheers mate glad to heer there going well, after seeing your setup i'm definately tempted but the misses would freak she wasn't very happy the first time she looked in tent and found 5 3fters she thought i was only gonna do 1 and now there's 11 seeds on the go and the other setup underway she's not a happy bunny, she's sort of come good now but like i said the wardrobe might push her over the edge we'll see soon enough lol right i'm off to pot those before i feed my girls i got my brother coming down with his camera 2mo so hopefully i might have some pics to show you all i'm really hoping so because it does my head in not being able to show them to any1

Traditional Capitalism , You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You herd grows and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

An American Corporation , You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

French corporation , You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

A Japanese corporation , You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce 20 times the milk. You then create clever cartoon cow images called Cowkimon (tm) and market them world wide.

A German Corporation , You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for a hundred years, eat once a month and milk themselves.

A British Corporation ,You have two cows. Both are mad.

An Italian Corporation . You have two cows. But you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

A Russian Corporation , You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have forty two cows. You count them again and learn you have twelve cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of Vodka.

A Swiss Corporation , You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge other people for storing them.

A Hindu Corporation , You have two cows. You worship them.

A Chinese Corporation , You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment and high bovine productivity and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

An Arkansas Corporation , You have two cows. That one on the left is kind of cute.

[NugHead420]

once u start tho it takes over and u spend more and more money on it but then u start getting buds so it all pays for its self in a few grows lol. Good luck mate, this weathesr a bitch but the suns on its ways back now so wont be long b4 u can turn ya heating off.

thanks mate, dont think ill be turning my heating off anytime soon, even had a touch of snow today might start buying a few supplies ready for the spring though.

 

[W Dragon]

well guys it's my official opinion that MAG is absolutely fecking shite i'm taking my copy back later and getting my £40 back it doesn't even come close to COD a load of wank i'm gutted about the couple of hours of my life i won't get back and to think i could have been doing something productive like watching tv or having a pull on my pud lol

 

[hippychild123]

Hey people. I'm considering investing in a HPS rig, with a dual spectrum bulb for both veg and flowering. I'm just not sure how many plants I could cultivate under one of these things from start to finish. I just want to keep myself in decent smoke (fed up of smoking glass from my local chav), so 2 or 3 plants should do it. 1 or 2 if the yeild is really good. I'm still new to this stuff..

I've done abit of reading, and I came to the conclusion that:

1 250w hps will give out in the region of 26,750 lumens.

Divide by 3 plants, and they'll be getting just under 9000 lumens each... which I think is pretty good. Though I guess you've gotta take into account the fact that the lights will have to be distanced from the plants, thus losing intensity from the plants perspective.

1 400w hps will give out in the region of 42,800 lumens.

4 plants @ 10,700 lumens each, or 5 at 8560 lumens.


I'm thinking that a 250w would probably do nicely for growing 3 plants with pretty nice tight buds.
....But I could well be talking out of my arse

Anyone who knows this stuff, lil help?

 

[SM4RT3]

thanks mate, dont think ill be turning my heating off anytime soon, even had a touch of snow today might start buying a few supplies ready for the spring though.

We had snow to, wish it would fuck off allready, n like west said it will take over, i paid less attention when i had a kid lol... soon as u get into it and you get your first elec bill, the heating will be off, snow or otherwise, anything to save that lil bit more cash till your trees grow money, or is that just me lol

lol, not what u was expectin then, know why that is dont u... coz u got a PS3, no decent games onit lol.. n that time wasted could of been spent staring at your plants whispering sweet nothings, that or gettin your wardrobe grow started, *shakes head*

Hey people. I'm considering investing in a HPS rig.....

....Anyone who knows this stuff, lil help?

How many you can grow would also depend on the size of your grow room... What dimensions you workin with?, cant promise i will be able to advise you, but will be more info for the guys on here that can.

 

[hippychild123]

How many you can grow would also depend on the size of your grow room... What dimensions you workin with?, cant promise i will be able to advise you, but will be more info for the guys on here that can.

At the moment, I'm vegging in a wardrobe compartment thats about 2' high, 2' deep and 4' wide... Though the compartment above is the same dimesions only with another 2' of height to work with, which I was considering using for flowering.

Either way, I'm more than up for LSTing my plants to give myself plenty of room to work in..

I'm pretty disorganised, at the moment I'm struggling through the seedling stage, 8 plants (going to narrow it down to the 4 healthiest after 2 weeks), 1 23w cfl... another 105w on its way in the post, but I'm finding it difficult to find/afford all the fittings and work out how I'm going to set up a CFL grow..

A nice HPS could make it all easier I figured..

I would try a 150W, but I don't know whether it'll grow 4 plants, plus a 250 is only a couple of extra quid on ebay. But then I'd like to have the option of doing a larger grow in the future, probably in a different grow space, and I don't know how many plants a 250 could handle..

This is my first grow, and it's more for educational purposes than yeild. But now I've gotten started, I've realised that I'd quite like some big beastly plants

lol you know that's true mate on all counts, the misses has come good on the wardrobes already as long as i only use 1 half of the builtin (mine) the only prob is it might have to wait a little while til after i've done finshed the attic conversion i had a big dent in my cash flow today i lost my cash in hand hook up after he tried ripping me off for £400 he threw in a few to many insults infront of every1 on site and i accidently hit him a couple of times so i'm gonna concentrate at 1 at a time just for now or until i get a bit of spare cash in between it should't cost much though i was thinking of using everything out of the tent light,in-line fan, carbon filter, fans can you think of anything else i'd need mate because i really would like to do it sooner rather than later and ditch the tent

Hey HippyChild.

I've not done an LST grow b4 but im thinkin maybe with the hight you have it would be best, as for your lights you can go 2 ways with HPS:
250W HPS will cover .5x.5m and needs to be about .3m above your plants.
400wHPS will cover .8x.8m and needs to be about .45m above your plants.
(your room is .6wx1.2dx.6h in meters)
So both will fit if you flower in the room with an extra .6m in height.
(400w HPS £89.00 200w HPS £85.00 Inc ballast and euro reflector)

you will loose some light in areas of your room if u go for the 250HPS, but that will throw less heat off, ive not used HPS as yet, gettin 1 for my flower so im not sure on what heat they throw out, so its kinda depending on heat output and costs.

As for how many plants you could grow i couldt say, not done LST so dont know how many you can put in, as an estimat my room is .89x1.12x1.9m and i got told about 4-6, but im growin trees.

CFL's from what i have grown b4 didnt give much yield, but i was using 1 x 125cfl for both flower n veg, n off 1 plant didnt get much.

but you are also going to need fans for intake and extraction and a carbon filter, which again cost money... what you think might be a lil cheap room to grow can build up.

*Self Edit*, if non of that makes sense or confused u even more my appologies lol, just finished work and a 3 hrs of uni, heads a bit gone, but i think i may have covered your lighting issues if not how many plants you could grow
