It was advertised for sale in High Times, in the 70s. I bought one. Been growing weed since 1972.Where did you get information that the navy grew tomatoes in submarines with HIDs in 77-78?
I cant find any documentation of it. What i can find is information from the mid 2010s that the Navy started growing hydroponics under LEDs.
This is the second time you've shared this, how exactly do you plan on hitting 99:1 UVA:B at 1.81w/m squared? Id love to hear how you're going to achieve the exact ratio so I can apply it myself.
I also spent 8 years locked up, with the Feds, 5 years Supervised Release, and a 3-5 MILLION $$$$ Fine, which was waived, for Cultivation of 1200+ Marijuana plants. All Clones, plus I had 30 Mother Plants 5 feet tall.
I gave my partner 550 clones, 25 of the Mothers. He also financed the operation. He was 70, I was 39. He was a friends uncle. He had a 2000 acre cattle farm down near New Haven, - Think Cornbread Mafia Territory, though he was about 35-40 miles from them, he was in the general vicinity., but he had no affiliation, and I was the one who showed him how to tell M/F.
He got popped, with 500+ clones, and the 25 mothers. Ratted me out, and they came and found 750 more, and 5 mothers, that were 5 feet t all, in 5 gallon containers. I ended up pleading guilty to Mandatory Minimum 10-Life-3-5 Million $$ Fine, which was waived.
He got off scott free, and I ended up getting charged with Manufacturing All of the plants, as they came from me. He didint do 1 day, in jail. I did 8 years locked up.
I also had an 8 1000w Halide light grow room in the basement, with 160 clones, in rows. I built a box out of Pallets, 12 in tall x 10 ft boards, for the sides, and lined it with heavy plastic. Used a Sphagnum Moss base with perlite, vermiculite, dolomite-calcitic lime, and peruvian seabird guanos, Kelp, Greensand, worm castings, compost.
For watering I had 2 50 gallon garbage cans, and a sump pump, and garden hose, attached to a BROOM!!!.
Funny thing is Cops/FBI- said it was SOPHISTICATED!!!! When it was the most primitive, simple hands on set up one could do!!!! A sump pump, and garden hose attached to a broom handle, was Sophisticated???!!!!
Upstairs I had 2 x 1000w Halides flowering several plants. I was also making clones with a kiddie pool, cool white fluorescent, and small dentist cups, and watered from the bottom. I just poured water into the pool, with bubblers. I covered the pool with plastic, for humidity. Lights under the plastic.
I also used Guttering, capped off both ends, added bubblers, and floated clones with styrofoam. I had multiple 10 foot rows of them.
All in all I spent from 1997-2009, under the thumb, of the Feds. Didnt smoke at all, for 12 years.
I also got thoughts about weed potency ect, and considering I went 12 years without even one little hit, no alcohol or buzz at all, as I dont drink anyway, since 1978, I think I have a pretty good grasp, on buzz then-90s, and before vs 2009 on.
And to beat it all, the first stuff I smoked was some Pre2000 AK47 a buddy has a clone of. Seeds were bought in 1998, but not popped until 2004, and he kept a mother. He also has pre2000 Sensi NL5, 2006 Willie Nelson.
But the AK47 sent me through the roof. I had just got off of all supervised release, and was totally free, after 12 years, and went to my buddies, to get weed to sell-of course, and he had AK47, and it was the 1st thing I smoked. As I smoked it, CNN was on, and it just happened they were showing a guy that got busted, and was being processed into the LA Jail. They were talking about how many people it held ect, showed the guy getting processed, and it brought back the whole getting busted thing, and made me really really paraniod. I think they said at that time LA Jail, held 12-15,000 inmates!!!!! I spent 1 year sleeping on the floor, in a 10 man cell, with 32 other inmates, and I was the only one that didnt smoke cigarettes. It was torture. Some were also going through Oxy withdrawl. Oblivious they were even in jail. One guy was trying to get out through a 4 x 6 vent!!! Thats INCHES.
