i was thinking more for a single plant personal grow, using a 3'x3' tent (couldn't say no to the price of the tent), if i placed the plant in the corner of the tent, and the light vertically so that it reflects off the walls, if the plant were on a motorized turntable in order to rotate one...

i would agree that with current tech it would take around have the watts to replace hid with led. i'm actually surprised how little i see vertical grows with led's. i've considered vertical LED's for my 3x3 tent. i was thinking that if i turn the plant one full revolution per day on a motorized...

i understand that some light sources are more efficient than others. if you read subsequent posts i stated that exact same thing. what i said is that while you have more potential for light by having more watts, if 90% is released in the form of heat not light such as with incandescent bulb...

still if you research the company and their business practices, you probably wouldn't use MG or anything else from Scotts. i used them when i was young and dumb, but i think they're one of the world's problem companies.

another concern is that if you can play with the genes of the plant, you could control what chemicals it produces. the E. Coli bacteria have also been engineered to produce biodiesel as their excretions. if they can change genes to produce biodiesel, think about this. Appleseeds contain cyanide...

not to mention how a couple years ago it was made public that Monsanto was the creator of Agent Orange, which would already concern me that a company like that produces any food crops whatsoever.

one large danger is their "teminator seeds" potentially spreading the gene across plant species, giving it the potential to completely wipe out all food. think about that, they have the power to literally starve the world, and really no way to contain it if it were to happen.

water with neem until the last 4 weeks, wipe down all leaves with a soft, damp cloth everyday, but definitely don't spray your flowering plant twice a day with water... that's inviting mold. there's lots of organic sprays available to help with this, the best and most consistent i've seen is...

no he didn't. what he said was "POWER IN=POWER OUT, LESS WATTS=LESS LIGHT, LESS LIGHT=LESS POTENTIAL ENERGY, LESS POTENTIAL ENERGY=LESS OF A PLANT" which is paraphrasing exactly what i said. no reason to start an arguement. the one thing in that part is that he should have changed is 'less...

again, whether it's easy or not, GM cannabis seeds were already produced by Monsanto at the University of Mississippi. i still think it's the worst idea in growing.

my curiosity with this is whether the 18 hrs of light on the majority of the plant will allow it to produce more, as it has more time in the day to photosynthesize

there's a big difference in calling something "natural" or "organic." both are meaningless because they have no regulation. if it has the nifty USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC sticker, then it's actually rigorously inspected and thoroughly checked for chemical contaminants. also as a side-note for all...

in terms of physics, he is correct. he made no distinction between what light does what, he simply stated a general rule of physics- that it's impossible to get more energy out of something than what was originally put into it. i don't like how he said it, but technically he is still correct

glad to see somebody using his head

Monsanto's already way ahead of you, but they play god in order to lower potency. they produced seeds at the University of Mississippi, potentially for exclusive contract in the Canadian medical market. they programmed the plants to produce no more than 6% thc (which is super low), and to not be...

again i'm not saying all purps are bad. i just think it's silly how so many people think purple weed=good weed just cuz it's purple. i remember when my friends used to get all excited when they got purple weed from their dealers and when i was new to smoking i got excited too. after a while i...

i agree with you, at least partially, but he is correct to a certain extent. in a perfect world where all 60w of electricity were being converted to light, then an incandescent bulb would have the exact same output as hid, led fluoro, whatever. the big difference is in efficiency. LED's put out...

one of the biggest problem they need to solve before led will ever be applied to things like stadium lighting is how fast the light intensity degrades over distance. part of the reason hid lighting is popular for that task is it's low degradation over distance. if you've ever put one of those...

yeah you'll get a letter and the ridiculous thing is they say where you can pick it up if you want lol. i've always wondered if anybody ever tried picking up the confiscated package

i take 3"-4" clones from the top of the canopy every time, and have roots in 7-10 days in plain water with rockwool cubes with most strains. older growth seems to take longer. as for older growth having more growth hormone, it would defeat the purpose of tipping, because you would be saying that...
