Is it recommended to use a power/ line conditioner with LEDs? I've heard LEDs have micoprocessors like computers and the surges can hurt them. A line conditioner seems like the best protection and I've seen LED journals with them which I can not currently find. Wish I could remember what brand...

I read a guys LED journal year or 2 ago who did a spectra 180 VS 250 watt hps and the LED won. Who was this guy??? I can't find his posts or remember the name.. was a well documented competition in seperate dr120's. Mike was donating him Spectras, and this is NOT irish boy im talking about, the...

Is any kind of protection needed for these LEDs? I seem to remember reading a glh spectra grow several years back where he used something like an uninterrupted power supply.

Unfortunately I was busted in March of 2010 and my first drug test was 2 weeks ago. So I go for a follow up report today and the dumb bitch probation officer said my last drug test had one of the highest marijuana levels she had ever seen ( so im laughing my ass of inside my head) Out of...

Say I found an immature white seed in a bag of dank. If I was able to germinate it, would it produce a higher quality plant then a dark mature seed out of a bag of regular mids? I know immature seeds have less chance of germinating, but will it being immature effect the actual plant if it...

Where to fires normally originate? At the ballast? At the light socket? If so I think storing a ballast inside a fireproof grow room is the safest bet, forget the extra heat gain. Assuming a dedicated circuit is being used with no amp overloads.

I'm helping a friend build a grow room in his crawl space. Water fills the lowest part of his crawl space when it rains hard, however this is the best room location for height issues. My solution is to install a sump pump and divert the water before it reaches the grow room. I recently...

Is it normal for the filament in a 1000 watt eye hortilux bulb to be slanting? Or is this a manufacture defect?

I know everyone says as a rule of thumb, two 1000 watt lights won't raise an eyebrow with electric usage. My question is what if a house uses mostly gas, so the electric bill normally runs very low (about 3 or 400kw a month.) The KW usage is almost always consistent with last years usage at...

My buddy just gave me a call, and we have a lot of trimmings to make hash. I'm about to leave for his place right now, and I'd like to get high right now as well. Does anyone think panty hose would be the right consistency for making hash using the silk screen method? There aren't any art...

Could two 400 watt hps pull off a bigger yeild than one 1000 watter since you can more evenly distribute the light? Ok ok the 1k light has a 200 watt advantage, how about five 400 watters V.S. two 1000 watters?

I see so many "truth" commercials funded by prohibitionists supporting false facts and flawed statistics about pot. Why aren't there any real "truth" commercials? Maybe something like this- A teenage stoner sits on his couch with a bag of doritos. He turns on the news to see a fatal DUI...

Closet with multiple solatubes or similar product, supplemented with cfls. I see many conversations of tying this out- but haven't heard of anyone actually doing it. Think it will work with good ventelation??

Unfortunately I never labeled my CFLs. The boxes being thrown away, I don't know what temps my cfls are giving off. I was wondering if someone could post pics of different cfls next to eachother. Ex. 2700k vs 3000k vs 5000k vs 6500k etc.. thx:joint:

I'm on day 41 of flowering and many of my fan leafs are turning yellow/ crisping. I've heard many people say not to trim anything and vice versa. I've already trimmed some of the dead crisping leafs but should I also trim the yellowing fan leafs blocking newer growth? Does anyone agree with this...

Hi, I'm making a grow box that is roughly 3ft X 3ft X 17inches. I'm using CFL's so heat isn't a problem, but I'm having problems figuring out what kind of fan to use for my exaust which is a 4in X 4in square hole on top desinged for this carbon scrubber to connect to...

Ok I have a couple of questions about this carbon scrubber that I plan on building https://www.gardenscure.com/420/security/60127-ryoko-builds-diy-activated-carbon-filter.html Once I attach the scrubber intake to the top of my growbox, do i just direct a fan pointing up toward the intake? Or...

Anyone have any suggestions for/ or have used successfully a specific model of carbon air scrubber for 4-5 plants?:joint: They will be in a closet growing w/ three 46 watt clf's, but in a shed to dry. Thx :joint: :joint: :joint: :joint:

Hi everyone I recently started growing 3 plants w/ some yard dirt in some plastic drinking cups. They are about a week old and this winter sunlight isn't helping me so I bought 3 cfls that are 42 watts each. The box says each of them are 150 watts equivilant. I know i need around atleast 200...
