The moderators on this site are inept. *looks in that thief fdd's direction* You can ban me now because you know that I'm right. All right. This site is one big bad fucking joke. :lol:

Jrh... you need to lower your comedic standards... think Larry the Cable Guy, Family Guy, or American Dad. Now aim even lower. So low....

How about solar panels?

I don't know, but that baseball styled arm band gots style.

Centrist libertarian... your poll sucks! :lol:

I pity the faux! :lol:

I wouldn't. They look great.

Fluoros make very good quality bud, just not as much of it. HID is going to be hotter than fluoros. HPS creates light by igniting a plasma arc that reaches up to 1100C. The outside of the bulb can easily exceed the boiling point of water. The bulbs also emit tons of IR radiance, which is heat...

Wait.... GOP doesn't stand for glorious open pussy?

watts=volts*amps Or amps = watts/volts

Checking the weight of your pots is a pretty good way of knowing when to water. Unless your soil has excessive drainage, top soil being dry doesn't indicate you should water. You could very likely over-water and even get root rot from watering too frequently. Basically, sticking to schedule...

T5's maximally do(PUR/PAR) around 140% of HPS, watt for watt(fuck lumens!). Which, in this case, is around 600w HPS -not 1760w. Guffaw! You'd also need plant-specialty T5 bulbs(these are 'much harder' to find). Conventional(6500k/2700k) bulbs are going to under perform HPS watt for...

You may want to consider getting a T8 tube fluoro hood, and getting GE Gro Lux(not the wide spectrum aka WS, just the regular Gro Lux or Plant/Aquarium aka PL/AQ bulbs) 40 watt tubes. T12 comes in higher wattage.. they're not nearly as efficient though. Much more efficient than CFLs, and...

Hallelujah! I'll help point out errors(they're numerous) in the grow FAQs if you like. ;)

Lumens are for humans. A bulb can have a very high amount of lumens and be very poor at growing plants. Plants need specific frequencies of light to grow the best. This is measured in watts. So I use watts. Fluorescent bulbs designed for plants(Gro Lux, Plant/Aquarium, Blue/Red, etc.)...

Depends how big your plants are. Figure a minimum of 13 watts(CFL's actual wattage!) per cubic foot.

Yes. Far from ideal. Not a good idea at all.

That's perfect. Probably 70 lm/W. most CFLS are under 65 lm/W, especially as wattage increases the efficency drops. Though more small bulbs will produce much more heat due to all the ballasts.
