Is it wrong to masturbate to pics of pot?

those FLUOREX lamps I'm always talking about.

Just a note to all that keep PMing: I'm just a customer of that place. I know the owner ‘cuz he lives by me; but, I can't answer questions about shipping or stuff the dude can get – you have to ask him. I invited him here but he doesn't want the risk.

Wait a minute!!
That light bulb chart is bogus. A 400 watt HPS light uses the same amount of electricity as 4-100 watt incandescent bulbs. 400 watts is 400 watts and the kilowatt hours don't change just because one is HPS and the other CFL or incandescent or whatever; they are exactly the same.

I don't think it's an energy usage chart, it's comparing the strength in lumens.

nah bro. It was showing that for the money spent on 400 WATTS, you get way more light out of a HPS light than you would out of another 400W light. So, to equal the lumen output of the HPS you better have 84 60W incans.
