at least in the future i won't need to shut the swamp coolers down,gonna need them year round soon enough...but no heating bill!
Yesterday Dans was released and sent home. 5 hours later they called a ambulance to take him back. He went back into ICU because his blood pressure was really low.
That is all I know right now.
Are you also going to save pollen in the freezer too, since you'll be collecting it anyways?
ive never had luck frezzing polen & reuesing it.
Well that global warming is melting my snow. Damn it
hey bug, weren't you working with some high cbd crosses? i'm looking to get a hold of some high cbd strains...
I have been able to do it.
The way I do it. I have a jar with a filter disk for the lid (like what is used in mycology). I fill it with some uncooked rice. I take normal sheet paper and fold it into a packet to hold the pollen. Once I fill them with pollen I place them in the jar with the rice in the fridge (not the freezer) for 2 weeks to dry out the pollen. Then they go into the freezer. I've stored pollen in jars like the one I mentioned above, but with out the rice. I've also put them into ziplock baggies and then into the freezer.
I have also found that pollen can be more persistent, in how long it's viable for depending on some different conditions.
Lately I've been thinking about sterilizing any dry rice used for this to kill any other stuff that may be in the rice. I started taking my rice and storing it in glass jars to store it. I found some dead bugs and their molted skins in that rice. Which makes me think I should sterilize any type of grains I may use to help dry out any pollen.
sounds like a good plan. remove that moisture so it doesnt rupture any pollen cells when freezed

I got the opposite results with CMH. If I hadn't I would never had swapped. GPW was better, Plants health was better, Plants looked happy and my flower room didn't get as hot vs hps. Just the spectrum alone is much better for plants to grow properly. If we don't get the results we want we go with what does.
LED has some issues im still unsure about. I will never be able to satisfy my doubts until I try a good LED light. I don't have 800$ to blow on a test right now. After talking to a few that use LED in a large room they had problems keeping there temps up. They had to add heat back in. Yields did take a hit.
Finally the weather has cooled enough I needed a jacket this AM.
Wise choice to have CBD in the rotation in my opinion ...lots of choices out there now. Dead Lights has tested over 22% CBD with less than 1% THC. Huckleberry Web (indica) by Dynasty has 2:1 ratios with 3% terpenes. Their Divina Obscura (sativa) has ratios of 1:1 to 1.5:1.
Hey bugman....please share again what you are working with?
Hey Joe, I am looking for a led for a small veg cab. I have been looking at the hgl 65. What kind of headroom is best?
Just a few inches, enough to allow some air flow.
The 65 doesn't put out much heat at all. The foot print works best at around 12 to 18" above the canopy.
If they need to add heat back to the building they would be better served by increasing the insulation. LEDs still put out heat just not as much as HPS.
I dont see the point in paying more for electricity continually when a one time purchase of insulation would solve the problem.
i will find out more about the state regs this weekend but i guess the idea is to find something indoor appropriate for now until land can be found...
