    Do I really need a reflector?

    Nice job mate! A fan blowing across it would cool it down quite a bit but you wont have any problems with it if you dont, they dont get that hot. Or you could fashion a extractor into it using a computer fan, it looks like you would be more than capable! There are some computer fans that work...

    Do I really need a reflector?

    Hi shaqfu. The 125w will be just fine and will be more than good enough, just make sure to keep it close and if your plant gets too tall or bushy to let light through to the lower branches just put a few normal cfls or some tubes around the side. Another thing i would think about is topping the...

    Ultimate cheap reflective material

    Yeah, white reflects all of the light spectrum. Mylar doesnt because of it colour, just as black absorbs light. Plus if you hold mylar up to a strong light you can see through it so it is loosing some light through the materiel. Also the folds and wrinkles in the mylar dont distribute the light...

    Ultimate cheap reflective material

    An even cheaper option is a big tin of matt white paint and it`s more reflective!

    Do I really need a reflector?

    And btw 125w envirolights are self ballasted same as a household cfl. and are good lights but the 200w can be bought with seperate ballast for not much more money and then you get more power and only have to buy the bulb when you need to replace. (which is cheaper than a 125w self ballasted) If...

    Do I really need a reflector?

    Using a reflector is even more important with cfls due to the relatively low output. Any light that is traveling upwards is wasted and it is not intense enough to be reflected back from the ceiling and still be usefull. If you have 10000 lumens output @ 1 foot, at 2ft you only have 2500, @ 3 ft...

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    I didn`t know gas could be made from it! Unleaded petrol runs at £1.15 ($2.26)a litre here in uk. Diesel is £1.23 ($2.41) a litre. People are mad over it and cant afford to run their cars. Maybe now is the time to let people know there is a alternative that can have less of an impact on the...

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    Exactly damagoman. Thats why we should try to promote the environmental benefits to the people who have some power in that department, the medical benefit to the likes of ms and aids sufferers, and the cost of prevention to anyone with an aversion to paying too much tax. Each one is suffering...

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    And if your argument is weak, incoherant and ridiculous, that is how you will be viewed. Hardly a good impression or advertisment, don`t you think?

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    In a way you are right moose, but the most important things in my eyes are - awareness, educated, factual debate using non refutable evidence and the image we portray of ourselves. At present mj users and activists are seen by the `normal` public as drug users and are grouped together with...

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    Hi all. Thanks for gettin rid of the first post moose. I think that rather than feeling threatened by politcians and ingnorant/uneducated non users damaging propaganda, we should turn the whole "environment" issue to our advantage. First point out the errors of their existing ways. ie...

    An Inconvenient Truth About Smoking Marijuana & Global Warming

    I would imagine ( i do not have the information to hand) that both plants (cannabis and tobbacco) have removed far more co2 than they produce when burned. The amount of co2 used by a plant is proven by the fact that some indoor growers have to supplement the co2 in the air, as the plants have...
