I have two 150w hps in one of my cabinets that I bought at a local building supply, and one 175w MH in another small cabinet. The store I bought them from is a local chain of 2 or three stores called "Jerry's Building supply". Although I do believe I checked at Home Depot and I think they carried them also. The HPS lights brand name is.....THE DESIGNERS EDGE ENERGY SAVING LIGHTING I have now successfully harvested 2 crops and going on my 3rd. Hope this helps!! $49.99 for hps each $79.99 for MH each The units are all self contained (ballasts, igniters,reflector, etc.)
High Crazybob2U! Congratulations! Sounds like you've got your show together. I presume you use the MH for seedlings and cuttings, and the HPS chamber for flowering? Grow goodies! Best wishes from your friendly neighborhood earth girl...}8^D
HIGH All, Sureshot puts it nicer than I would have...not into thieves because if they steal a light us tax payers pay for...I'm pretty sure they'd steal your plants...hey why grow when you have some right in front of you right. (another who shakes his head)
Take my advice . I don't know who is where, but for me growing and smoking MARIJUANA is LEGAL. Lucky me. As with regards to theft,you (and you know who you are), should be ashamed of yourself. Get off your ass and work for what you want. I have a 400 watt metal halide growing chamber for 6 female plants. I also have an 8 tube 40 watt flourescent veggie chamber, 320 watts total. 5 warm white, 3 cool white bulbs.I am running my own perpetual harvest for the first time . The first harvest is in 6 to 8 weeks. My veggie plants will then be sexed, the males saved to make bubble hash, and hopefully half of my 16 plants are female. PEACE< NOT THEFT.

You put yourself in this position with honour, now get yourself out of it with honour. By the way I have AIDS, Lucky me eh! If I can get a god forsaken light setup with honour so can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never shot up in my life. I have never done heroin before. As for the condoms you are right. But I was with the same girl for 5 years. And before her I was with the same girl for 3 years. I was loyal to my women. Believe me buddy it can happen to anyone. As for money I can barely get by. I travel to doctors once or twice a week. I am on disability. But my health is improving and you are right , the government pays for all my meds and doctor visits. I am very bored and being able to grow my own weed has given me something very important to do, I want to live a long time. I am sorry if I offended you, but the way I was brought up stealing is wrong.

I don't want to seem obnoxious. I am on this site to learn all I can about growing my own pot. GROWBIGBUDSINTORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sorry to hear man. Hopefully scientists will come up with a cure for hiv-aids soon, its only geting bigger. May you live a long, happy, and stoned life . Here is a forum you should check out just for medical MJ, they may help you find a good strain. http://www.overgrow.com/edge/forumdisplay.php?forumid=8
THC101/ I find your two posts about HIV and AIDS mildly offensive. "you maybe should use condoms or no heroin needles" "you can have a condom and still get it if it break........BUT you still could have used a condom" Perhaps you should think a little before you type. Why don't you condemn vast swathes of the African continent who don't have access to condoms and those whose intravenous infection has been caused by shared medical needles. Not to mention those lost souls who are so downtrodden they turn to a needle of junk to solve their problems and have no access to clean needles because the bureaucratic government won't supply them and treats them as criminals not as patients. Now I really am in no position to preach being the first to play advocate to the devil but come on.... Peace. SS Pothead Pete/ Enjoy your grow! SS earth girl/ Hmm, I wonder though how much of the deficit has been caused by spending on things that could have been avoided if people had a degree of social responsibility within THEIR communities. What's with this street lighting thing in Cali anyhow? *off to search the LA Time archives* SS
Hi everyone. Thank you for your show of support. Aids can happen to anyone. I have always considered myself to be a careful person. I guess I wasn't careful enough. Up until 1996 peoples prognosis for Aids wasn't good. They usually died within 1 year. Today with the advent on HAART(Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) peoples prognosis isn't nearly as grim. The drugs are taken for life. Every day I take 11 different pills just to stay alive. The side effects of these pills can sometimes seem too much. That is where marijuana comes in. It has changed my life. I have gained 50 pounds, because I can eat. It also gets rid of the nausea big time.So to switch the topic back to where it belongs, I am here to learn all I can about growing my own pot. I have grown 3 crops and am on my 4th. I am getting better at it.GROWBIGBUDSINTORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
s'alright m8, shit happens eh? Pothead Pete, I think its great your allowed to smoke/grow leggaly, I wish the american government would take advice from the canadians (as if ) and see how much better it makes the quality of life for people with AIDS and other such diseases. Hope weed is keeping you happy!
I have smoked pot for 20 years. Only in the last 2 months has it been legal for me. I have been told by both my family doctor and an HIV/AIDS specialist AND the people at the People With Aids Foundation of Toronto that medically, marijuana is to both combat nausea and the eating disorder known as the "wastig" syndrome. Imagine taking 10 plus pills then trying to eat after. Thats the "wasting" syndrome. Since I was diagnosed last August I have gained 50 pounds. Without weed I might even be dead. My health is slowly improving due to my medications and of course my many DOCTORS. The main reason I visit this website is to learn all I can about growing my own stash.My life depends on it. If I can help anyone out there to grow their own ,then so be it. I live in a society based on democracy. I should,as should all citizens in a democracy, be allowed to express our thoughts and feelings on all matters. That is why we VOTE.

Pothead Pete, what kind of grow are you doing? out or indoors? So whats the rules for your legal growing, whats the plant restriction? Do you have a grow room yet?
I'll be back in a min. GBBIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pothead Pete here. I am legally allowed to posess and grow my own Marijuana. I am allowed a daily dosage of 5 grams. I am allowed to keep 1875 grams in storage at my house. I am also allowed to carry up to 150 grams in public. I can also smoke it in public places, but I must abide by the bylaws. In Toronto there is no smoking in any restaurants. That goes for pot too. But I can step outside and smoke. I am also allowed to grow up to 19 plants at any time. I have a fluorescent set up consisting of 8 48 inch, 40 watt bulbs, 5 warm white, 3 cool white. 320 watts total. This is my veggie chamber. The chamber is 28 in. X 60 in. I can easily hold 10 to 12 plants . It is 3 ft. tall. My flowering chamber is 7 ft tall.I have a 400 watt metal halide and a 150 watt spot grow light in the flowering chamber.I have room for 6 tall and bushy females. I wish I had a little more space but it is limited. I basically harvest an ounce a week. Constantly. The flowering chamber is set with a timer for 12/12. It is a lot easier to use a timer. You don't always have to be there to maintain the proper photoperiod. The flowering chamber has a fan with a built in thermostat, I paid I think 48 bucks for it. The veggie chamber has a small 6 in. oscillating fan left on low all the time. Each chamber is enclosed in 6 mil. mylar plastic. White on one side ,black on the other. I use the white side in to reflect the light back at the plants.
I have all my plants in a soilessmix, Pro Mix. I use a daily fert. ,and every 2 weeks I hit them with an added fert. 10 52 10 for veggie growth, 15 30 15 for flowering. My daily fert is 10 15 10. The pics are found on the web. I don't know if punk baby is real or not, but isn't he cool!!!!!!!!!
