    Super Hortilux CFL 163lm/W

    Okay so forget everything I've said about florescent so far. This is it. It's really surpassed itself this time... Super Hortilux CFL, in 2700k, 3000k, and 4000k. 163lm/W for the 3000k one... really unbelievable. I'm converting to CFL.

    Why spend $$$ on a flowering lamp if you have a $ veg lamp?

    I see this all the time. Even more experienced growers tend to be looking to switch their flowering room from HPS to LED while their veg room still uses T5 or worse, CFL. You get so much more bang for your buck upgrading your veg room first because you leave the lights on for 18-24 hours per...

    Hydro growers, stop looking for calcium without nitrogen.

    Calcium nitrate is your choice, period. Aquaponic nuts, don't even bother responding about your calcium chloride. This isn't fish it up.

    When people discover a way to do something that's twice as effective

    They don't reduce their overhead by 100%, they increase their overhead and output over twice as much stuff. Leaps in efficiency have historically lead to leaps in production growth, not conservation of energy. As usual, we will consume twice as much.

    Don't just legalize it, free it

    If you have a document stating it's legal for you to grow weed, remember that implies people without the document are not free. If you are a "caregiver" or sell to dispensaries, you are technically a member of a cartel. If this wasn't the case, the black market would likely vanish. In my...
