    I have had a couple of runs with these lights now, and it took me a bit to get used to them. At first, I was running them too close, and it actually lessened the yield. I ran the last click with them at a constant 48" above the canopy and hit huge. What these lights do is enable you to light up...

    My bad, I went with the Phantom DE Ballast, not the Galaxy. Galaxy doesn't have DE specific ballasts yet. The bulb runs a diff freq then normal HPS and even tho some digi ballasts will fire the bulb, it is not fired up fully, giving the max light.

    The Dual Ended HPS bulbs. Phillips makes the ones I am running. They run on Gavita or Galaxy ballasts, Bulb specific ballasts. I think other companies are starting to make DE ballasts too. I have been growing a long time, and I have never seen such an impact on a garden like these lights have...

    Come on Monsanto - build us a ?

    Now GH is in the same family as Round-up and Miracle-Gro. I was surprised to hear this happening so soon. My friends and I discuss where the Industry is going all the time, and we all know that Big Money, be it Pharma for the medicinal side, or others, such as Monsanto, that will take over...

    Come on Monsanto - build us a ?

    What is horrible Rose is Monsanto just jumped into the cannabis world in a big way. They just bought General Hydroponics. Big money is coming to take over the Industry.

    Light controller.......which one MP?

    220 sir...more efficient and easier on your ballast. I run most of my 220v ballasts on 120 cords..no issues. Is it a Digi ballast? Mag ballasts either have a 120/240 switch or you have to change a wire in the ballast internally. If it is a Digi, it should adjust to whatever voltage you apply...

    Let's Discuss Legalize Ohio 2016

    That's a pretty good way of handling legalization. I can understand the tracking of herb grown in a commercial environment. The powers that be want to think they have a handle on herb getting into "The Black Market", which will only thrive in a tax based herb market, not cease to exist. I...

    Black Dog Method 7 LED Grow Glasses..

    I have bought a couple of pair of Method 7's..and they are cool...but not $150 cool when you can get a similar pair from hydrofarm or sunlight supply for $20. I have a bunch of the off brands and they work just as well as the Method 7, for a lot cheaper. I wear mine all the time in the room.

    Yes, they are trying to ban the sale of 5.56 Green Tip M855 ammo only, as of right now at least. The reasoning is it contains a Steel Core in the projectile. This was not on the original "cop killer" ammo ban, as that ban was only directed at handgun ammo. They now sell an "AR-15" pistol...

    Hello OFC! I guess this is my virgin post in this thread. I'm 45...do I qualify? First off, I gotta say I am humbled by your posts regarding me Umbra, thanks bro, it means a lot. I am horrible about keeping a grow journal or taking pics, so it is nice that you have seen my work and can see...

    Which direction does the air flow through your air cooled hood?

    I wouldn't trip bro. Think about the straight up non air cooled hoods that super bake in heat, and they work fine. At least you have air passing thru and taking away the heat. Don't get me wrong, I gave this thought also. I was more worried about the hot air passing over my fan when you pull...

    Flushing ?

    The age old question. Personally, I feed water the last 10 days or so, depending n the strain. I would not say that I am flushing, as I am not getting a ton of run off from the pots, just feeding plain PHed water. I don't do this for the taste as much as the swell. I have noticed that when I...
