Oh I just meant in general there’s good info there at least as far as IG is concerned when he posts one of his series of solid oldies

% agree! I made an account as the daughter puts all her photos of the Gbabies on it. I couldn’t figure it out and deleted it.

For a while I took apart an iPhone and took the microphone and camera out of the phone when I broke the screen and replaced it. was just a dedicated IG phone that ran a VPN with a kill switch etc
VPN’s are super important in today’s day and age especially if your not in a friendly state
Private internet access is a great VPN and you can also pay with a Starbucks gift card you buy at any store
Instagram if you have camera enabled for it
It constantly reads the biometrics of your facial reactions while your scrolling thru it to target ads better
There’s plenty of other examples of why it’s horrendous but that’s the main one that bugs me

We’ve been chatting this last run on the other place. This is Weasel’s cut early sample around 63 days. Seems like there’s more action over here and I can’t get enough sour talk!

I also saw these recently and I am fond of them to send to people
I think having something to look at helps
People who didn’t grow it’s opinions mean more then the growers in my opinion.
They’re for wine but still seems valid for herb

Thanks man
I’m really starting to miss taking pictures with those cheap method 7 knock offs and the hortilux blue HPS bulbs
LED’s take uglier photos in comparison it seems

I can agree with that. I tried taking over a hundred pictures of my last grow to get quality bud pics. Nothing came out looking really good for me. No depth of color. It’s weird.

If I’m not mistaken they actually use CMH lights in studios and stuff as they have the best range of color or something or other
Will have to try that at some time

I love CMH, especially the proper Phillips 315w with its Phillips square wave ballast.
I did a lot of research for warehouses back in 2015 and 2016. Phillips made the 315CMH for gallery art shows. Art dealers pay top dollar for lights to showcase their paintings. And Art requires a very wide spectrum with as close to a flat peak as possible. Something like HPS has too many peaks and valleys, with too much disparity between each color along the spectrum, that it cancels some colors in favor of others. Having such a flat yet wide response, the CMH best mimics the Sun at around 20 or so degree latitude.
And, its perfect for Veg and Flower - so no need to change lighting when running both veg and flower in the same room
Ive run everything (except newer LEDs)
And that 315w CMH had the best expressions, did better than 400 MH, and was on par with 600w bulbs yet still had better nutrient cycling and better leaf expressions. The 315w runs surprisingly hot and needs more distance from plants than a 400 MH
Still, the best tent I ran was 600w MH, 1kw HPS, and a 400w Mercury Vapor in a 4x4!
Man, I miss MV bulbs. Though, it seems CMH hits all the peaks that MV did, but also a wider peak among the spectrums.

Used to do something similar to this with beer tasting. We called it Beer D&D.

are you talking about the same light here? sounds nice, how much hotter than a LED would you say?
