Retired Live Stoners Gossip April May 2017

That's not helping.. There is no answer! I could go in loops with this forever. My science brain is screaming at me to figure the shit out.

I have noticed the fruit seems to follow the root mass regardless of plant size. I cringe everytime I see one of my plants getting taller without doubling the root ball, as I know it's wasted real estate up top.

Okay lighting specialists here is a layout of my current light . BigSmO has suggested and I have no reason to disbelieve him that Epistar is not terribly efficient . My question . Could I improve the efficiency of my light by changing to Cree, Osram or another high end led mfr .

Sure you could change them, the efficiency would be better. But is that important for you? you may see an increase of 30 % efficiency as far as heat emitted per watt, and same increase for yield per watt. The amount of work and money required is the real question. Rather than update your current LED board, build a COB and save the china LED for supplemental light or backup.

Unless you can find a pre-made CREE quantum board that fits your current light housing. that would work.

Hadn't seen @Frankthetank maybe he's at Home Depot

It was a pretty good little saturday.....no time for bed bath and beyond, though!

Oh he won't need any thing more on his plate . He's probably running around like a lunatic already and it'll get worse as the season progresses and the tournaments start plus the guy that owns this course and 6 others has his office on the golf course and will be up his ass constantly . I'm sure there has already been a tumble down effect from me sueing and costing the company lawyers fees and the 2 grand they had to pay me as a result of his stupidity .

About mid-season when it's all going to shit is when you should contact the owner directly. Explain what's gone wrong and how you could do it better if the asshole boss was out of the way. Karma Bitch ! Take his job out from under him.

They may have . It might be a little early yet . Their source of revenue is dependent on tournaments and it drives the super insane when the course is not ready . I kept the fairways in good order and I was good at it if the dumb bastard left me alone .

Damn bear, should go some canna plants all over the roughs and that now

Thats the answer! sprout some Mephistos all over that place man! Put em right up in the gardens around that clubhouse too, nice watering up there.

Right and I had considered your suggestion . Work not a problem I got lots of time . Money that's a problem and the only reason that I considered changing my existing . I pay a premium of 25% exchange rate .

Cree



The difference is very obvious—quality. CREE is a well-know American manufacturers, this does not mean all CREE chips are built in the USA. Cree chips are up to 30% brighter than EPISTAR, even through the cost of purchasing CREE LED light bar is 30% to 40% higher. Cree is by far the leading innovator of lighting class. What’s more, CREE led light bar has longer lifespan, almost lasts for 50000 hours.

EPISTAR

Epistar LEDs are made in Taiwan and will have a very good performance at the first stage being lighted on. EPISTAR LEDs have been known to fade after 1000 hours of use. The warm white color is changed to an ugly color, because the bad fluorescent powder is being used when package.

This is related to off road where they take a beating. same chip systems.

Believe me that thought crossed my mind and I have some white widow photos that would fill the job nicely .

Mephisto is to good for the bastards but a handful of bulk would work .
